The Time Lords (in the classic series, at least) behaved similarly to Starfleet (IIRC, they even established a non-interference rule after the events described in “Underworld”). The Doctor would no doubt agree with SG1’s goals much of the time, just not their methods (with the exception of the Sixth Doctor, I can’t recall any of them actually using a gun).

They were much stricter than Starfleet. They believed in total non-interference, just observation. That’s why the Celestial Intervention Agency was formed, so the High Council could secretly interfere.

A war going on changes everything, doesn’t it?

Anyway, the people they were sharing with weren’t naive societies that didn’t know there was life elsewhere on the galaxy. For those ones, they just presented themselves, warned about their enemies, and moved on trying to make the minimum possible impact.

I think you need to watch this…

The answer is “yes, sometimes for the worse.”

Almost always for the worse. Possibly always.

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
