[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [b]there would be no point in all these efforts to change the past that occur in Trek, because they would have no meaning for those not involved.[/QUOTE][/b] That is an existential question, not a scientific one. Meaning is an abstract construction of our own making. Besides, this is fiction, the only characters that matter to us are the ones the show is about. So long as it has meaning for them it has meaning for us. [QUOTE][qb]To borrow a phrase (no offense), the idea is not dramatically viable within the context of dozens of hours of Trek. ST4, FC, "Visionary", et al. all become meaningless, selfish diversions for the time travelers.[/qb][/QUOTE]Or innovative and inspiring human efforts to mold one's own destiny and improve one's circumstances. I think, basically, that's what Gene always wanted [i]Star Trek[/i] to be about. That's give or take a tragedy/horror story here and there, of course, to keep things interesting. [/QB][/QUOTE]
