In today's world what species fits other nations. In the past Star Trek races were based on other nations, like the Russians, or Japanese, but the things have changed.
I still think the Romulans are Russians. Territorial, sneaky, militaristic, etc.
Who are the Chinese? They are now rich and powerful, not economically and technologically. Perhaps the Dominion?
Honor? Klingons you stupid nigger.... what a simple fucking question
Ethan Garcia
Maybe Cardassians? I never really knew who the Cardassians were supposed to be.
Bentley Thomas
I also wasn't really sure, but they seemed to me a bit like North Koreans. Warlike, isolationist, oppressive. But they're too weak to be Chinese today.
Sebastian Davis
Todays Cardassians are clearly Women. Clearly attempting to undermine anyone / everyone else, not to gain any real advantage, but just because they consider it good sport.
Cooper Rivera
>Women are a nation
Lucas Powell
Klingons were japs originally. honor and knives
romulans werent russians specifically, just soviets ferengi are obvious jews Cardies were north koreans I think. military took over, some kind of facist authoritarians and they fought a brief war with the federation
Bajorans were gypsies I think. goofy religion, oppressed, no one gives two shits about them
Jeremiah Carter
The major races were all pretty easy to figure out.
I could just never figure out the minor races. Orions, bolians, vulcans, etc. theres dozens of the little shits
Camden Sanders
What about that Star Trek race who was into fucking 7 year olds, who are they?
Cardassians = Nazis Ferengi = stereotype Jews (obviously) Romulans/Vulakans = Asians (because autism) Klingons = supposed to be Russians in TOS but more like niggers now Bajorins = religious jews/muslims
TOS Romulans were designed after Rome, TNG they were soviets. and klingones were samurai-ish
eh. theyre from another dimension. not sure they count
Jayden Reed
And what about the species that altered time to restore their timeline? Forgot the name. The time ship was captained by Red Forman.
Robert Scott
Err not sure if 8472 counts.
I did forget about the hirogen. not sure who they were designed after. Hunters that dont really give a shit about anything else?
Cooper Kelly
the Borg
Christian Rogers
>Vulakans
Um...
Jack Torres
I would argue that the Romulans were communist China and vulkans were taiwan/hong Kong. That and their eyebrows and straight hair bowl cuts look very Asian.
Eli Phillips
On a phone taking a shit at work. Autistic Autocorrect.
Dylan King
Cardassians were Nazis. Thought it was pretty obvious.
Landon Evans
israeli are cardassians chinese are the ferengi japanese are vulcan north koreans are romulans french are andorians palestinians are bajoran canadians are species 8472 americans are the borg
yeah but that's just future federation were some great episodes though
Owen Gray
It is obvious. However autism is a common trait of trek fans.
Dylan Taylor
Not the federation time travellers, there was another species that could alter the timeline, making drastic changes to the quadrant.
was that year of hell? where they retconned the handful of good voyager episodes into never happening
James Johnson
I've always wanted a future federation series based on time travel. Would be much better than the jj Abrams tos reboot shit.
Jaxson Campbell
oh yeah they were the krenim
Lincoln Robinson
Had a few more comparisons I had to sort out
trump is Dukat obama is Cisco pelossi is Kai Wynn putin is evil Vedic Berial mueller is temporal investigations elon is Dr. Sung
Jordan Cooper
I always would have liked to see a trek series set up like cops, following around a different ship/crew from different eras every episode
At least then every episode wouldnt be wrapped up by someone pulling an inverse tachyon beam out of their asses
But thatll never happen
Brandon Turner
8472 was sick, I remember being so afraid of them as a kid. Since they’re from another dimension or whatever I think their best analogy is non-state terror groups like Al Qaeda.
The Borg are North Koreans, but with better technology. Something from a totalitarian government at least.
Justin Ortiz
agreed following one of the time ships as they fix and thwart temporal distortions and new perspectives at older series, maybe some new interdimensional aliens and so on so forth would be great if done right
>obama is Cisco Highly praised, worshiped by idiots, yet didnt really accomplish much of anything? Yeah you may be on to something there
Jacob Lopez
>> americans are the borg
top kek right here
Cameron Foster
>new perspectives at older series The DS9 tribble episode was great, but i doubt you'd be able to squeeze a series out of the premise. miniseries maybe
Xavier Nelson
Nice trips. Al Franken was sort of like the Doctor from TNG.
Blake Clark
uh yeah we got a possible 1082.7794 in progress involving a ferengi suspect, that is assault and theft on a class M citizen along with the possibility of forced lobe groping under duress, so you know, just another night in the alpha quadrant.
Grayson Williams
that's basically what I was going for, Cisco was a shit commander and a terrible captain ty ty ty - I can agree with that
Hunter Anderson
>checked Bad Borg, Bad Borg, Whatcha Gonna Do, Whatcha Gonna do When Picard Comes Through?
Hudson Bell
George HW Bush is now Zephram Cochrane
Samuel Evans
Tribbles are niggers. >They toil not, neither do they spin.
Eli Jackson
The borg do not represent anything from the past or present. They are scary because that's what we could all become, as technology and interconnectivity is always increasing.
Grayson Powell
By'set up like cops' I simply meant following a different crew every episode while they do trekish things.
Theres very little suspense in trek shows because with only like 3 exceptions (kes, jadzia and yar) you knew everyone was going to be just fine at the end of the episode. Following around a bunch of randos you never really know whos going to get ganked
Asher Sullivan
I'm not sure I follow that comparison I liken GHWB to Miles O'brian - simple but ultimately effective Americans are Obviously the Borg, wherever they go they assimilate.
Jeremiah Adams
>Romulans are Russians
Romulans are Romans, you tool.
Daniel Flores
Borg are the sjw.
Jaxon Gomez
Talaxians are pedos. >Neelix spent way too much time with Naomi Wildman.
Xavier Ramirez
care to elaborate?
Bentley Barnes
and he was dating a 3 year old for most of her life
Grayson Lopez
Tess was like, 2 years old when they got together. confirmed pedo
Justin Myers
Joe Biden *is* Riker.
Also, I feel like Elizabeth Warren is Captain Janeway. She’s a decent enough leader and is really responsible, but everyone hates her for no good reason. She also sort of pretends to be Native American in that episode where she and Chakote go on that vision quest/acid trip.
Xavier Gray
>Highly praised, worshiped by idiots, yet didnt really accomplish much of anything? Yeah, fortunately that really bad recession ended in January 20, 2016, and all thanks goes to trump.
Michael Lee
Biden is Admiral Ross
Owen Rodriguez
Haha I see it
Ayden Phillips
Ahhh, dont repeat that date outloud just FYI. Admitting it took 8 years to get out of a recession is not in anyway a good thing. Recovery from a recession averages at less than 20 months
Luis Sanchez
Rachael Maddow is Kyra Nerys
Adam Green
>Americans are Obviously the Borg, wherever they go they assimilate In methods, maybe. but in ideology, no. we're not a true democracy after all. We are a republic. Truly decentralized power can't function in the world as it is. And we "assimilate" less often then you would think. We are copied quite a lot though. and in many cases, better than the original.
Jaxon Campbell
Bernie Sanders is Julien Bashir
Cameron Lopez
We are a DEMOCRATIC republic, thanks much. also I don't agree with your assessment.
Jace Jenkins
I think OP is just being racist
Benjamin Wright
The Borg is Japan because of their technology except Japan isn't trying to take over everything
Everyone must feel as they do or they need to be corrected. There are only a select few within the sjw community that decides what is currently bad feeling or not. The others must fall in line like good little Borg's.
Daniel Perez
>Ahhh, dont repeat that date outloud just FYI. Admitting it took 8 years to get out of a recession is not in anyway a good thing. Recovery from a recession averages at less than 20 months it was one of the worst recessions since the great depression, and that one took a world war and a decade to fix. Also, this last recession ended in late 2009
Austin Morales
this is more along the lines of unification than the borg...mainly because sjws aren't dangerous excepting to themselves.
Cooper Campbell
reunification >romulans and vulcans reintegrating
Zachary Russell
Not dangerous....really? Antifa is the only point I need to give. Certainly not the only one. Just the only one needed.
Bentley Nguyen
I thought the Vulcans were Jews
Kevin Allen
>We are a DEMOCRATIC republic, thanks much. >also I don't agree with your assessment. my assessment is certainly open for interpretation. But the United States is a republic, not technically a democracy. Look it up.
A democratic republic is a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens
Wyatt Barnes
no theyre just played by jews on tv.
And individual people were not modeled after other individual people.
Charles Rodriguez
>authority and power is derived from the citizens which is then passed to elected officials.
you really should look it up.
Matthew Stewart
>Klingons were japs originally.
More like Mongols, really.
Jason Sullivan
They're somewhere in between bushido japs and barbaric mongols. but didn't achieve that until DS9.
Ian Long
keyword elected by the people in theory choosing to elect someone is a power held, once again, by the people (citizens). I can't speak on the effectiveness of the system but the spirit was originally to rise above being a federalist republic.
Noah Hernandez
this went off on a tangent
Christian Turner
>in theory choosing to elect someone is a power held, once again, by the people (citizens) which makes it a republic.
again, Look.....it.....up.
Eli Moore
it doesn't take a sharp knife to split hairs
Sebastian Gomez
how about a compromise... The US is a republic in structure, but a democracy in spirit.
Matthew Cook
>this went off on a tangent na, it's relevant to determine what the US is in order to determine if it's similar to the Borg or not. I can't speak for the other guy, but I'm keeping the original topic in mind.
