[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] But I'm not. I'm taking Curtis Saxton as that example, because just as there are more politically correct ways to support an argument for a democracy, there are more politically correct ways to support an argument for explaining what we see onscreen in terms of real physics and real human behavior. You seem to be implying that looking too close on a show will always result in an attack on the show. That Curtis Saxton + Star Trek = an attack on Star Trek in the Mike Wong style. It is quite possible that a conclusion based on such a deep analysis will be supported by the writers (let's keep in mind that a lot of DS9 writers such as Ron Moore also noticed the problems with the Prime Directive or Perfect Humanity, and finally made O'Brien say in a sarcastic voice "we believe we've evolved..."). I find the revealing of such flaws good for Star Trek, and good for viewers who might be misled by the ideology portrayed onscreen. But, again, I wouldn't necessarily use Mike Wong as an example, knowing that this will become problematic. I would use Ron Moore or an arbitrary essayist from one of those Essays on Star Trek types of books. Or I would point to Curtis Saxton's methods and suggest to someone to, just for fun, try to play by those rules and see what the results are. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
