[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] I'm most curious about Reed's mention of a Royal Navy in which his great-uncle served. If we're generous and assume 35 years between generations, that would still mean that Reed's relative was living in a yellow submarine (or a grey one) around 2080 -- thirty years after World War III. I suppose it's possible that some of the national militaries could be resurrected... but does that really make much sense in a post-First Contact society? [/QUOTE]I haven't seen the episode so I'm not sure exactly what was said but perhaps there was a temporary global government that was a (constitutional) monarchy? We know from Farpoint that even after FC life in some parts of earth was hard; a monarch would provide a figure for the people of earth to rally around as well as a strong executive. The monarch would also be a something constant for people to look to in a time of immense change. Just a thought.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
