[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kazeite: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb] I'd say a human farmer shooting at a crash-landed Klingon in the middle of a Kansas cornfield is pretty disasterous.[/qb][/QUOTE]Not from the Klingon perspective. :) According to novel, Klaang is actually grateful that farmer shot him in the chest, as opposed to Sulibans who tried to shot him in the back. (and while we're at it, while running away from Sulibans he was wondering whether he can run backwards. No, really.) [QUOTE]And even though the High Cuncil grudgingly thanked Archer for bringing them the DNA info intact, there was already tension there and hostilities began immediately thereafter, as seen in "Unexpected."[/QUOTE]Please, don't remind me this episode :o (is this true this idea was deemed "too stupid" when originally brought up as possible [i]Voyager[/i] scenario idea?) And even though Klingons acted hostile at the beginning of this episode, it was not because of "Broken Bow", and Enterprise crew ended up doing them a favor. Once again. [QUOTE]Besides, without first contact being made, there would never *be* any hostilities, so under any circumstances one could say that it "led to" them.[/QUOTE]This is possible, but rather unlikely. Picard used the Klingons example to show that botched first contact can lead directly to hostilities, not that one should avoid all contact because alien races he may meet may in future turn hostile.
