Meme format image. The top half has a picture of Star Trek: The Next Generation's bridge crew with the text "the prime directive forbids us from interfering. We cannot share our technology". The bottom half has a picture of Stargate's SG-1 team and the text "all your gods are false. Here, take these guns."
Wouldn't one race enslaving another already violate the Federation's Prime Directive?
Tell that to the Bajorans.
Picard at 1:55 here suggests it doesn't necessarily:
Pen Pals
To me, it seemed like he was talking about localized slavery. One people originating entirely from a certain planet who come to own and abuse another people from the same planet. The ghoulies are closer to the borg or a hivemind than traditional slavers, in many ways, so examining starfleet’s response to the borg would probably yield a better understanding of their response.
How are the Goa’uld distinct from the Cardassians?
Only watched a season of TNG so no clue.
The Cardassians were more of a DS9 thing, I think they only featured in a few random TNG episodes
Just a few random eps…and two of the most quoted and referenced episodes of the whole franchise! Between Capt. Jellico and “There are Four Lights” c/risa is about 20% content from those two episodes. (I’m not telling you off here, just adding my amazement at what an impact that two-parter has had).
Oh shit I totally forgot about those episodes, been a while since I last rewatched TNG. Great point though, they definitely are memes in themselves
Well for one I don't remember the goa'uld having a tailor with an ambiguous sexual orientation and a murky past who's besties with a human doctor, so there's that at least?
I mean, not quite the same... but there was Nerus.
Ha, I don't remember that character at all. I'm actually just rewatching SG-1 but I'm only up to season 8 so far
He's a fun one. Just don't get too close when he has a cupcake in his sights.
Pulaski ❤ People generally seem to really dislike her, but I think she was way more interesting as a character than Bev
More interesting than Bev, but she had a very judgemental, sometimes callous attitude.
No disagreement there. I think that "roughness" to her was what made the character interesting in the first place, Bev's a bit milquetoast in comparison
