[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 16627678, member: 40530"] ME is a great franchise (aside from Andromeda) and I have the new remastered set already downloaded just havent fired it up yet. Its one that started me to believe that while humans are flawed, we have a uniqueness to us, and that is the fact that we are never satisfied with the status quo. We constantly strive to make things better, no matter what aspect it is. We are a species of makers and tinkerers, creators and builders. I believe this trait to not be as inherit in other species. I mean, look at what we've done in a few centuries, its quite impressive. I do not think many species would have the same result in the same period of time. This is why nearly every sci-fi genre depicts humans as going from the newbies to running the show in very short time. Star Trek, we go from being pretty much held back after First Contact by Vulcan who is weary of our civilization and its ability to wage war, to running the Federation in about 50 years. Mass Effect, humans are seen as an outcast early and humans not even on the galactic council from what I recall, to spearheading the galactic effort against the Reapers in a few years time. Star Wars, where human bipeds are the primary species that run everything. To me, theres a common denominator in all of these, and thats our ability to make and create. Then you have depictions of alien craft from Bob Lazar (area 51 dude) saying these technologies are thousands of years ahead of us. yet somehow we can still pilot/fly the craft. So to me, when I hear stuff like that, it makes me think a species like that doesnt build as quickly as we do, what we do in 10-20 years might take them 100-200 years to figure out if they have less drive to make better stuff or build things. If they've already become complacent with what they have, then it stands to believe that we could in fact catch up to them rather quickly. This is why I dig the Star Trek "prime directive" approach. You don't interfere/interact with pre-warp civilizations, you simply observe them at passing, report their advancements, and move on. Once they figure it out then you let them join the party. This is why I believe we are constantly visited by aliens but not directly contacted, they're in observe and report mode. Every day like "What are these silly ****s up to now?
