Subject: Hmmmm! I'm not so sure what I think about the latest ep ........

.....

I tend not to go for stories that hit VERY close to current events. I know LOTS of shows do "ripped from the headlines" things .... but this religous-centric storyline came across as a mite too simplistic.

NOT that I think the "bad" guy was RIGHT or anything ...... just that I guess I think they should have just named the religous-zealot "Osama" and be done with it.

TOS did a lot of scantily-disguised moralizing too ..... so I suppose this ep was just in the "Grand Tradition".

[> Yeah, Star Trek shows have always taken a view on issues in society and coming up with what they believe are morally right. I guess in this case this episode relates to two types on Islam in Iraq. As long as the power was equal no major problems, then when one group gain control Sadam, he kills off other groups leading the other in search of assistance. In this case Us going in and over running Iraq in 30 days. Leading the country in ruins -- talon, 01:08:22 01/19/04 Mon
