[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] You just sort of went off the reservation, there. We're not talking about existential angst or any other hippie stuff. Why would Starfleet send Kirk and the Enterprise on a fact-finding assignment to Earth's past knowing they could never get the returned answer? Why would Kirk and Spock leave Uhura and the others on the Guardian's planet, knowing that he would never see them again no matter what? Why would O'Brien choose to die knowing that his Keiko could not be saved? Why would Picard think he was repairing a damaged timeline? Why would Kirk go get whales unless he thought he was going to re-appear in a universe wherein Earth was [i]also[/i] being threatened by the whale ship, and that it was his? Why would the Temporal Cold War exist if the bystanders were, by definition, impervious to timeline changes? Why would Sarpeidon's population go to past times that sucked instead of other universes where the sun wasn't gonna blow? Why did Alexander Rozhenko go back to shoot his younger self to save his father knowing that his father could not be saved? Why would Annorax spend 200 years trying to restore something that wasn't even his? Whether or not time travel is really possible and what it would mean, what you're arguing against right now is the very narrative of Trek. Our crews have shown how to use one's wits and courage and heart to change the world (e.g. Edith Keeler), and with time travel they've shown what might happen if good men do nothing, or the wrong thing. To take that away from Trek . . . sorry, I can't go there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
