You know, that really IS one of my biggest Trek pet peeves right there. The ARROGANCE! And Cell's repudiation of that attitude...AWESOME.
Star Trek: Phoenix-X
- Thread starter Hawku
- Start date
I don't want to take away too much from these fun comics. But trek was always arrogant in a sense. But that arrogance was based on the belief that humanity can be better then it's past. And really, what the fuck is the matter with that?
Thinking that you're perfect is what's the matter, and being blind to your own moral hypocrisy.
Working to better yourself is fine, but claiming your evolved sensibility is the only evolved sensibility is definitley arrogant. Supremely arrogant is the idea that you can meddle with cultures before you make "official first contact", which feels too eerily like a cold war maneuver to me, rather than something some evolved Federation types would do out of the kindness of their hearts.
There's a "spreading our culture across unknown lands" aspect to Trek in its many incarnations that I find unsettlingly imperialistic.

This arguement is for another thread. I'll start one in General Trek Discussion because really, I find your positions to be precariously balanced over bullshit.
