Talk:Who Mourns for Adonais?

Apollo's lust of Carolyn
I have always wondered why Scotty and Apollo had that feuding. Angie Y. 03:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Great source
There's an entire section of The Myth of the American Superhero that explores this episode; could be a good basis to add some more substantial third-party commentary to this article. --EEMIV (talk) 15:02, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

"The One"? Do we have any commentary on what this line refers to? --anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.208.114.181 (talk) 09:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Are you kidding? Seems obvious enough to me, but then I've lived and read in a monotheistic culture for a long time. - Rapscallion (talk) 22:51, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

"Many people believe that the Star Trek episode "Who Mourns For Adonais?" introduced the idea of primitive Earthlings whorshipping space aliens with advanced technology as gods but, the idea was also in the book the Mahabarata circa 450 B.C. This should be mentioned on the star trek page for this episode."

PSR B1509-58
What is the reason for the Link to PSR B1509-58 ? It does not seem be the real star, hence I don't see the connection. If at all, we should post a link to the Pollux system. Or am I mistaken? --Robinandroid (talk) 17:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * This seems to be a very week addition: happenstance that a nebula, etc., resemble a hand holding the star, much as Apollo's hand held the Enterprise. Should be deleted, probably, but I added enough detail so that at least a reader could see that what the link refers to. - Rapscallion (talk) 22:47, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

"Adonais"...?
Where does the name come from, and what is its connection to the story?

The article Adonais suggests it's a contraction of Adonis and Adonai, but the use of the name appears to be idiosyncratic to Shelley. --Syzygy (talk) 08:13, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Miss-characterization?
Why does the article read, "Angered and hurt, a broken-hearted Apollo calls down thunder and lightning and prepares to punish the landing party."? There isn't any dialog to suggest that Apollo is aiming his wrath their way. The scene depicts him using the wind storm against Carolyn, knocking her down with it. It also depicts him advancing on her while she screams "no". Giving the impression of an assault, possibly a sexual one; especially in light of the unused ending mentioned on Memory Alpha which has Carolyn pregnant at the end of the story. 130.184.163.209 (talk) 23:56, 5 July 2011 (UTC) nooneelse

The Eternal Pilgrim
Michael Forrest reprises his Apollo role in the fan-made full-length episode The Eternal Pilgrim. Would it be appropriate to add a reference to that episode and the Star Trek Continues project here? John D. Goulden (talk) 01:45, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * correct title is Pilgrim of Eternity, and i think it should have more mention here.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:34, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
