"Alright humans, you've played your games long enough, we're tired of waiting for you fuckers to figure your shit out so we're here to do it for you"
Literally what the vulcans did to earth if I'm remembering my star trek lore.
Is that the backstory? Then why did humans end up being the real power in the Federation?
I love what I've seen of Trek so far, but I do wish humans weren't The Biggest Deal
From what I remember, though its been a few years since I watched Enterprise, is that humans turned out to be a unifying element to the quadrant once we got our shit together and did FALGSC. Before humans arrived on the interstellar scene, the Vulcans and Andorians were constantly at each other's throats, sometimes going to war and sometimes in a cold war. I don't quite remember what the Tellerites were doing but humans led the effort on creating the Federation with those other 3 species in the 2150s or 2160s or whatever it was.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Sucks that they never made it that far, it's such an important piece of the lore. Plus, Shran was supposedly going to join the crew in the later seasons. We were robbed :(
They did write a bunch of books about it. It was also going to canonise the Rihannsu interpretation of the Romulans.
I’d highly recommend Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke!
The story follows the peaceful alien invasion[1] of Earth by the mysterious Overlords, whose arrival begins decades of apparent utopia under indirect alien rule, at the cost of human identity and culture.
No shit back in may we saw those Elon satellites and for a few weed smoke infused minutes I thought our alien overlords had arrived to liberate us from the American aristocracy.
I have a brother in law who believes in a lot of outlandish shit about aliens including he might be one. I jokingly said the aliens are here for heroin and he didn't think that was funny, he says they care about precious metals, but now that I think about it my theory is way more plausible than his because as far as I'm aware there isn't an asteroid made of fentynal.
If he said they were here for culture I would think that's dope, but I'm pretty sure he would say all the innovative music artists are aliens. Real great man hours.
It is kinda weird how we have all these leaders and systems without liking any of them. Do the majority of people like our leaders?
