Mike 5 Posted February 20, 2005 Something I noticed tonight while watching TNG..Why does Ro wear her earring on her left ear while Kira and the Bajorans of DS9 wear theirs on the right ear? Is it Ro's rebelling nature? It's probably explained somehow in one of her episodes...Hmmm, Perhaps in Ro's first episode? Any thoughts ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted February 20, 2005 I think Ro was just being different and difficult, she reminds me of the one child in class who would always plot against other kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted February 20, 2005 I'd have to agree with that assessment. Even in the episode Preemptive Strike when Riker was disguised as a Bajoran he wore the earring on his right ear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gul_nodrog 2 Posted February 20, 2005 I'm not sure why they initially had Ro wearing her earring in her left ear. Later on DS9 I think that it meant you were in the P'ah Wraith cult if you wore your earring in the right ear. I certainly don't think they meant for Ro to show support for a cult that hadn't even been developed yet in the minds of DS9 creators. I think it was her way of showing that she was Bajoran but not a "follower of the Prophets." Rather an atheist who had been pretty disillusioned with the Cardassian occupation and the "abandonment" of the Bajorans by their Gods. Spacetigger: They give a very in-depth explanation of Ro's earring and other Bajorans reaction to it in the Avatar books I/II, the Mission Gamma series books, and the latest book "Unity." You're such a big Kira fan, you would love these books. It is like DS9 is still going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can just never find the time for it..Oh well.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HRH The KING 0 Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) Deep Space Nine would have been a lesser show for certain without Kira as opposed to Ro. I never really like Michelle Forbes anyway, with or without her earring. Edited February 20, 2005 by The King Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
