I think the wiki said something about it being a pretty graphic show. Well, it can't be that graphic since it was on TV in the 80s, and in syndication to boot. So kids, after reruns of Three's Company and Laverne and Shirley, let's watch some of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDc8V2r53g

Why didn't chakotay just ask his ancestors to find a wormhole back to earth if they could give him visions in the delta quadrant?

The only plot i remember from War of the Worlds was an episode where they used music with subliminal messages to brainwash humans to their side. It was a weird show.

The War of the Worlds show also had a really weird revamp between seasons. The first season was a whole secret war with a team fighting the Martians who are hiding out and doing covert poo poo. Then the second season rolls around and it is set some time after the first season and the Martians have conquered the world.

Ariong posted:Ah, how generous! A whole planet, reserved just for them, a reservation if you will. Yeah it was an episode that took the "wagon train to the stars" a little too much on the nose. The Enterprise shows up to relocate the Native Americans but they refuse because the planet is where the spirits told them to live.

I will try to inocculate [sic] the Indians by means of Blankets that may fall in their hands, taking care however not to get the disease myself. As it is pity to oppose good men against them, I wish we could make use of the Spaniard's Method, and hunt them with English Dogs. Supported by Rangers, and some Light Horse, who would I think effectively extirpate or remove that Vermine.

AnoHito posted:Iirc, it wasn't so much that that they wouldn't have done it as it was that people back then didn't understand diseases well enough to do it. The black death is thought to have started because mongol warriors threw corpses into a fortress. In one of the viking sagas it's described how a fortress was won by tossing a corpse down the well of that fortress. People knew that corpses of people that have died of diseases and dung caused people to be sick even if they didn't know why.

This lead to the sewer in London being renovated because of the "big stink" which was both unbearable and thought to cause people being sick.
