Re: Star Trek Sheep: The Next Generation
Holograms are absolutely not a species. Neither are androids, robots, or any other kind of artificial life-form that may have appeared on the show.
However, chickens are a species, so if they ever fired their weapons on a ship crewed by chickens, that would be a good answer.

Androids and other non-carbon organisms that actually live are species if you ask me. Take for instance the big spaceship-sized creature that sucked the 1701-D's power until they "soured the milk". Species.

A hologram as I understand it is a projected image with some computer programming behind it. I'd agree it is not a species.

Re: Star Trek Sheep: The Next Generation
Though I don't see how you can lump in androids with spaceship sized creatures. If anything, I'd think androids are grouped with holograms - non-organic, so not a species (and don't give me Trek technobabble about organic components in Data's neural network). The definition of "species" is a little fuzzy. But one thing that seems pretty accepted is that its a biological term. Every biological organism has a species to which it belongs. Even some sort of Frankenstein's monster, which would be part of a new species.

I'll only be doing Sports Sheep for another hour. With Mr. Bullet AWOL, I assume he will start this sometime after his lunch (so 1:30PM EDT or thereabouts).
