Fella just cant stomach human food. Expains the prune juice too. New headcanon confirmed.

    So THAT’S what he meant when he said that the greatest battle is fighting against one’s own inner turmoil

    At least he doesn’t have to hold his urine for a whole year. Or worse, convince his adult friends to attend the release ceremony.

      Bummed by how much they underused Bortas when it came to New Horizons. Feel like they wanted to put Seth’s new girlfriend in the limelight so ignored more established characters.

          The lass who randomly arrived and started getting to run the ship and go on away missions. She can see in 4D I think.

          Seth was dating Halston Sage in series 1 then she left and they broke up. This lass just appeared and lo and behold it turned out to be his new girl

    But whose to say that the real problem is the prune juice?

    Silly Klingon, that stuff constipates Klingons! You can’t just eat human food and hope it works the same on your alien body!

      Omg, this is clearly Big Prune trying to control the narrative. This conspiracy goes all the way to the…bottom!

    Possibly the inspiration for Ja’Loja?

      Its still completely plausible IMO. He never showed big interest in Klingon cuisine until he met Jadzia. He was raised by his humans, probably with human food. He might not even know that his bowel movements are irregular/unusual, since talking about shit isnt exactly a topic of honor he would discuss with other Klingons. And he always lead a pretty conservative lifestyle, avoiding change whenever possible. Why should he randomly change to a klingon diet?

        His mom mentions learning to make Klingon food for him, particularly blood pie. He was probably eating a mix of human and klingon stuff on the Enterprise. Of course, since a good amount of klingon food is served live, his options for good klingon food from the replicator were limited.

        Amazing. I unironically love this discussion.

        I found out I had food sensitivities because my wife one day was like, “you know it’s not normal to take 5 violently urgent shits a day, right?”

          Sometimes you just decide to deal with that. I’m lactose intolerant, but I’ll be dead in the ground before I stop eating cheese or ice cream. I just don’t eat it frequently enough to be a continuous problem.
