Sorry for all the posts, but they are on different subjects at least:

Question:

Should Ilia be on this ship already as a crew member (remove most of her introduction, but no all of it), and we cut all reference to her sex powers and oath of celibacy? This way, Ilia can meet up in the hallway with Decker just after the ER scene (in which he is demoted) and not after he gets chewed out about not following Kirk's phaser order, in the now deleted Whormhole scene. I'm not sure how this can work. Suggestions??

I think if someone's traits have no relevance to the story (Padme's assassin being a shapeshifter, etc.), then it should be cut. She never uses her sex powers, so why not just have Decker and her relationship be awkward because its an old relationship, not because she has mystical powers.
