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.”
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?
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.
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
