Theunicornhunter 2 Posted January 13, 2004 Personally, Star Trek is more sophisticated than that and I think it would be pretty cheap to incorporate this cultural paranoia into the series How So? Star Trek has its own universe, history and aliens and until UPN took over it maintained a certain degree of class. Alien abduction believers are on the fringe and not generally well regarded by the mainstream. Treating the "greys" as real would be like Archer finding Mickey Mouse on some planet and treating him as real. Not to mention the whole alien thing is played for laughs in Roswell - the town - itself. I think T'Pol's comment in one episode about humans once fearing "alien abduction" was a better recognition of the phenomena. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm..I Do See Your Point, But I Think Comparing The Greys With Micky Mouse Is Abit Of A Stretch.lol Anyways, Lastnight, I Remembered That The Rosswell Aliens In The Trek Universe Were Quark, Rom & Nog :unsure: Edited January 13, 2004 by Sam The Smuggler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That maybe so, and personally, I don't believe in abduction stories, however, what if they played into it from the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico supposed crash, hmm? I think it could be done with class. Just becuase wacko's think there's aliens out there, doesn't mean there aren't any. :unsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfigment 0 Posted January 13, 2004 I think that the Greys are very cool, however I do not believe that Paramount will use them as one of their alien races. I believe this after watching the DS9 episode entitled "Little Green Men" In this episode, Quark and Rom take Nog to Earth for his entrance into Starfleet Academy... There is an accident and the shuttle is transported back to Roswell and they are discovered. After some hilarious stuff happens, Rom devises a plan to get them back into their own Century. So Paramount's beleif is the first aliens to crash on Earth were Ferengi. A little funny, but this is my basis for the belief that Paramount will not use the Grey's as a race for any ST episode. Which is sad, very very sad. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've got a point though, we probably won't see them due to DS9's "Little Green Men". One can imagine though! :unsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptwright 1 Posted January 13, 2004 it would be cool to see, but i could take it or leave it i guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted January 13, 2004 Btw, When Quark, Rom & Nog Got Back To The 24th Century, Ya Think They Fessed Up To Being The Mysterious Roswell Aliens? :unsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfigment 0 Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) No way... I am sure that Quark heard all about Sisko's run in with Temporal Investigations (Trials And Tribble-ations). I am sure that they said nothing. Quark dosent like questions from anybody. And Rom and Nog probably thought that it would hinder their involvement with Starfleet. Ferengi are way to cautious to cause trouble for themselves LOL. :cool: Edited January 15, 2004 by shadowfigment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cassidy 0 Posted January 16, 2004 It'd be cool but it's not very imaginative. I guess the butt headed things in the TOS pilot were sort of greys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
