Colonel Green and the Federation

posted on November 9th, 2008, 2:28 am

One thing I have always wondered is what Colonel Phillip Green (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Phillip_Green) would think of the Coalition/Federation of Planets?

Would he not be concerned as long as Humans stayed genetically pure? or would he take the same xenophobic attitude as John Paxton (from the Terra Prime movement)? Personally, I'd expect the latter.

What do you lot think?

I though Colonel Green was more interested in purging the mutants caused by WWIII nuke fallout... which ironically ended up being a "good thing" according to some people in an episode I believe.... aaah there it is : This act was met with mixed feelings by survivors, many regarding him as nothing more than a genocidal madman. Others would see him as a pragmatic visionary who "humanely" euthanised radiation afflicted individuals, preventing those afflicted and their descendants from passing on deadly mutations and the suffering that would come with that. (ENT: "Demons")

So I think it has less with being xenophobic to more of one of being scared of radioactively screwed up individuals. ...So maybe he wouldn't be concerned at all

2 quotes from Green:

"We must reject the impure and cast it out."
"To be human is to be pure."

Since I haven't seen the ENT episode and can't remember the TOS episoded I can only refer to the link above. I think Green and Paxton aren't the same. Paxton somehow 'improved' Greens ideas and put them into another context. Just by quoting that "to be human is to be pure" and that the impure is to be rejected I think you're missing the point: Green wanted to 'save' humanity by casting out those who suffered from mutations. Paxton was just xenophobic.
Greens agenda was based on a real threat. Paxtons goals were just based on fear.
I assume Green wouldn't have cared about alien races in our solar system. At least until they would start mixing up and that's not that easy.

I wasn't trying to compare Paxton and Green, Paxton was an example of the negative view. Those 2 quotes make him a potential xenophobe (assuming, of course, that they were not exagerated).

Green would just ban human - alien relationships. So much for Julian and Dax.

I'd second that.

So much for Julian and Dax.

Shame on him. 
I guess he would have changed his mind if he would have known how sexy alien women would be

You mean how sexy human women are with trill tattoos!

Mmm...wouldn't that be hot? feeling that lump of a symbiote in that cute little girls body during intercourse? Sorry but trills are...well...

As far as I know, the Trill don't have a 'lump' when joined and most of them aren't joined in the first place.

Exactly 
Just forgot about that lump-thing. Now I'm... somehow... 

Is this getting off-topic?

But as memory serves me, Jadzia is the only hot trill! Or at least the hottest, and she is joined.
