 JPH>>> Summary:  Chakotay is stranded on a planet where a war is
 JPH>>> happening between human-like people and "predator" looking aliens.
 AK>> The episode hinted that perhaps there were no good or bad people in
 AK>> the conflict, just two sets of people at war with each other.
 MM> The often untrue stereotype is that the familiar is good, the unfamiliar
 MM> is bad; the attractive is good, the ugly is bad.  AS the TOS episode
 MM> name said, "Is there no truth in beauty?"
I hate to correct you in public, dear, but that's "Is there in truth no
beauty?"
 MM> In Nemesis, the people who looked like monsters were the
 MM> "good guys" in the war -- as best we can tell.
They were, at least, the apparent ruling government...they were the ones
with the ambassador. That doesn't necessarily make them the "good guys,"
just the ones with the Government Approved PR.
