[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] I made much the same observations and have the same problems as Timo. It must have to do with the "looking glass" view that Star Trek presents. Everything happening on camera is supposed to have a very limited scope (single ships with small away teams, Earth colonies with only of a dozen settlers, anyone who dies on camera is made a big deal). That lies in the nature of the medium. This doesn't necessarily get along well with the scaled up figures. Suddenly there are hundreds of starships in the background and billions of casualties are mentioned. Anything that doesn't have immediate consequences on our heroes may be extreme. What remains to explain, is the discrepancy between the "Dominion want to kill everyone" statement (which for all we know was true), but that never anything like that was shown or mentioned, nor had any consequences. Remember the hystery in "Homefront/Paradise Lost", although no one had been actually harmed? But after the war had started, knowing or even witnessing how the Jem'Hadar slaughtered innocent people, there was nothing like that. For instance, where were the horrified survivors from Federation colonies? [/QB][/QUOTE]
