[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Another take on the "Why, oh why couldn't the Klingons kill the main character of the show in the pilot episode?": Remember that it was the Vulcans who filled our heads with prejudice about how the Klingons would react to the return of Klaag. I'm sure they had studied the writings of the Kahless mythology very closely, and read through all the Klingon laws and Warrior's Manners Manuals and whatnot. And I'm sure that those writings would have dictated that the Klingons in fact kill Archer where he stands. But Vulcans are theoreticans. They have little appreciation of the erratic manner in which humans break their own written and unwritten rules when they feel it's the Right Thing to Do. I find it eminently plausible that the Klingons in fact share this habit with us humans. The Vulcans simply could not correctly predict how the Klingons would respond, even though they were convinced that they had the Klingon culture down pat. As for why Picard would say the first contact was disastrous, heck, it did begin with a crash, aka disaster. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
