[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [qb]You mentioned later the conspicuous absence of contemporary Earth religions, and I've always thought Star Trek could benefit from a bit more spirituality. [/qb][/QUOTE]I think Trek could also deal with this from a slightly different perspective. Similar to your thoughts though, bX. Something that has started to gripe me for a while now has been the homogeny of the alien cultures. Earth is full of different languages, different cultures, different religions. Alien cultures, however, tend to all be the same. The lanugage is Vulcan or Klingon, the artifacts are Bajoran religious items. As if everyone on Vulcan spoke the same language or everyone on Bajor always believed the same religion. I want to see these cultures have different langueages and dialects. I want to see them have different religious beliefs among their own people. And why is it that only Humans have different genetic cultures? True, we've seen black Vulcans and a black Romulan, but that's about it. The albino Andorians seemed to come as such a big shock. Speaking of a racial mix to the show - someone was talking on CNN the other day about the lack of Asians in lead roles on TV (Hiro from Heroes being noted as an exception). One of my thoughts was to make the captain a woman of mixed Chinese/Japanese/Korean decent. Her mother was mixed Chinese/Korean and her Father mixed Japanese/Korean (or whatever). This would allow the Captain to grow up influenced by all the various Asian cultures on Earth (born and raised in Japan, spent holidays with her grandparents in China and Korea). This would allow the writers to explore a variety of Asian culture points and still be believable. That would be more believable. [/QB][/QUOTE]
