Talk:Douwd

The fisrt paragraph needs a lot of work. It seems like it was written by someone new to memory-alpha (not that thats a bad thing, it just needs a little work). – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jaz (talk • contribs).

Frankly I'm surprised there's as much detail as there is. -LupusCCCLIX 08:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

"true" form

I find it unlikely for glowing humanonid shape to be a true from of Douwd. I'd personally bet an effect of discarding material form. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.29.171.91.

Question: Is this another name of the Q perhaps? Powers seem remarkably similiar. He could have used a different name for his race to distance himself form the continuum for some reason? Any ideas?– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Prince Inari (talk • contribs).

It would be speculation to state that these beings are Q, no matter how similar they are, as it was not stated in canon that they were the same.--31dot 20:45, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Additionally, Q doesn't seem to have any problems manipulating either time (as evidenced in the STTNG finale) or life/death (as evidenced in the episode where he tries to recruit Riker - where both Worf and Wesley are killed onscreen). Kevin (the douwd) cannot truly resurrect his wife, only make a facsimile of her. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.43.113.88.

Corporeality

I have noticed that several editors on this wiki have made the assumption that they are non corporeal, despite the fact that this is never stated. They could easily be translucent powerful corproreal beings. So I removed the category “Non-corporeals” from the page as it was pure speculation, but this edit was undone twice. We should not label a species as non corporeal unless it is explicitly stated as such(ex: Organians, non corporeal Koinonians).--Anonymous 1029384756 (talk) 16:04, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
