Finally got to season 4 and watched it…wow and hated it. Lets commit double genocide on a hunch because our history is so important… Felt super off how everyone was fine with commiting genocide…
The moral is that genocide is ok for maybe a better future?
When you get right down to it, that’s the essence of the temporal prime directive, is it not?
Yeah, but in this case the genocide happened because of them. Without them there wouldnt be one. This is not a past shouldn’t be changed but a past that was changed.
Well, their past wasn’t changed, and that’s the only past Starfleet is really concerned about - that’s the problem with predestination paradoxes.
I understand your reaction to the episode, but I also think you’re hitting on exactly the thing that makes it interesting.
Oh I agree that it makes it interesting I just think it wasnt handled well. I think commiting genocide because of a hunch is fucked up. Honestly thats my main problem.
And I am stopping myself before I start draggibg RL into it. Thank you for engaging with me :D
