[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] I hereby second your welcome to the forums. Now to shred your argument. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] Trek, at its core, has always been about the human condition. "What does it mean to be human?" it asks. Yes, at times there have been eps that did not ask this question. Voyager's "Deadlock", DS9's "Visionary", and TOS's "The Enterprise Incident" come to mind. They were just good science-fiction. DS9's purpose in a continuing war was to explore an area of humanity previously untouched in Trek. Do laws, in fact, fall silent during war? Is it morally acceptable to slaughter an enemy that has no hope of defeating you to defend yourself? Episodes like "In the Pale Moonlight", "Inter Arma Enim Selant Leges", and "The Siege of AR-588" proove that the exploration of the human condition continues in Trek. Now to Voyager, I can not offer as much praise. Yes, it has it's good eps, but nowhere near as many as DS9. The one in which B'Elanna was arrested for having a negative thought, for instance, asked some good quesitons, although not as well as it could have. Of "Mortal Coil" I can offer the same comments. The writing as a whole could explore the theme of humanity far better than it has, but I think it's a little premature to declare Roddenberry's dream dead. [/QB][/QUOTE]
