Extropes,
Slashdot posted an announcement about the new Star Trek series. When I
went to the site:
http://www.trektoday.com/news/040301_01.shtml
I found a description of the characters for the series, among them the
following:
Silik: Late 30s to early 40s. Alien. Physically agile. One of the leaders
of the Suliban, a deadly species obsessed with genetic enhancement. Our
villain. [Note: Silik is described as a recurring character.]
"Suliban"--sounds like Taliban,
"a deadly species obsessed with genetic enhancement."
"Our villian."
"...a recurring character."
That's just great!
"These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise...to seek out evil
genetic enhancement and (no doubt) slap it around some thus proving, amidst
much spouting off about it, the moral and practical superiority of natural
and unenhanced humanity."
Hollywood can just suck sometimes.
Best, Jeff Davis

The progress of the future depends no longer on
physiological evolution but on the reaction of
intelligence on a material universe.
