Cry some more

literally was expecting this comment here :D :D :D :D yeaaap :D

If hollyweird made this the sarge would have tits and a penis....And the actor would have been on the Epstein Island flight logs.

I did not care for the dystopian tone of this story. And I found it to be unrealistic: If humanity was ever reduced to a mere 20,000 individuals, in all likelihood, the species would eventually go extinct due to inbreeding and a lack of genetic diversity. This would be especially true if that 20,000 was split up on, say, many colony ships and/or stations scattered across the galaxy. Our analysis of human DNA shows that we're one of the most inbred species on Earth. Most animals have *_far more_* genetic diversity. The idea of so few human remnants just throwing themselves into war is *absurd.*

​@@XpaceTrueyes everything u said made sense but not to much to give credit to the greys to help helping humans breed and help with introducing DNA from. Samples their collection from past visits All in all its a good story if it's not for u no big It's a story some one wrote in there spare time its never going to be perfect

Wait another 2 years and ai will turn this into a TV quality movie in 24 hours.

That's not a mistake. Hollywood will never make movies that have family and patriotism as core themes. At best, Hollywood would rewrite this story to have a dysfunctional protagonist fighting against corrupt human leadership to seek justice against an arch- enemy leader. The only plot line today's Hollywood is interested in is the outsider against the unjust powerful society.

In the far future, we'll may be extinct, and machines shall own our World... But MEMES will still live on...!!! LOL

The expanse is honestly my favorite, check it out if you haven't already.

I second the expanse, great story and the Newtonian physics on display in the space battles is very diferent from most Sci-fi but very realistic. The space battles in Battlestar galactica are actually probably one of the closer points of reference in other sci-fi to those of the expanse. I loved the 2004 Battlestar Galactica btw, just a pity about the rushed, underwhelming and somewhat contradictory ending.

They only want to do soap operas. Lazy writing.

Hollywood tends to avoid sci-fi as it's too risky and expensive to produce. Trying something new is especially risky. Studios like cheap reality TV and guaranteed hits from reputable franchises. BTW: Why mention the newer Battlestar Galactica when there are many other sci-fi shows that have bigger fan bases and received more fame? Babylon 5 and Farscape was *so much* better. I *hated* the 2004 Battlestar Galactica - bad writing with too many contradictions and plot holes. Besides, for the time in which it was produced, the original Battlestar Galactica was clearly superior.

because their purpose is to program the public to think what they want to think. They want Western Society to hate itself and become weak as possible. This is the purpose of D.E.I.

I'm hoping the Greys get some of that sweet sweet tech as compensation for them saving our ass.

one captured human talked, told them about the greys and humans. aviax then hunted both species down, the end, youre welcome

same here

I didn't think much of the Aviaks the first time I laid eyes on them. Looked like a stiff breeze would blow them over.

Perhaps but maybe it was an attack to remove a competitor from the same type of worlds.

Agree I got the feeling the greys have a long term plan involving humans Might be as simple as trying to help humans to evolve to solve their problems with DNA or making themselves as saviours so we become willing foot soldiers for them be nice to see how it unfolds

20K is not enough genetic diversity rendering us effectively extinct.

Vengeance is best served cold, and it is sweet... Like Ice Cream! Now who doesn't like ice cream?

@@dano7411 while I do agree ice cream is great, especially vanilla, vengeance isn't quite the same.

Rationally I agree with everything u said But I imagine if someone killed my family I would be walking the path of vengeance till the my last days Either I die trying Or after I succeed I would think if the evils I did and probably off myself

@@niukal well that's exactly my point, and why I said sometimes it's necessary, because not everything can be forgiven or dealt with through a just manner. But even if this character absolutely wipes out their enemies...there are things that will be sacrificed along the way that shouldn't be sacrificed, lines that will be crossed that shouldn't be crossed...and in the end that will only bring them more pain. Now the generations after them, that's another story.

@@00yiggdrasill00 rational thinking Is sometimes overuled by emotional thinking almost never right But it under certain situations it's can be very hard to b rational unless it's gets u closer to Ur goal I'm not condoning it just understanding it

Xenophobia is the opposite of "Keep your friends close but, keep your enemies closer."

Actually. Thanks to there being no technology and people actually wanting children in such a position each family would probably consist of 5 to 10. We'll use 7 as a average. If 20000 survived most likely half are children. That leaves 10000 adults. That makes 5000 couples. 5000 x 7 is 35000 people. Divide by two and multiply by 7 again. That makes 122500 people. This is excluding the children that grew up originally by the way. Once again divide by 2 and multiply by 7. 428750 people. Repeat. You now have 1,500,625 people. And I know. It'd be slower but it wouldn't take more than a few generations to have millions of people again. Not only that but they still had technology and the greys were helping them. They would explode in population. And of course the 10,000 original children would grow up and get married by the second generation so that'd be another 5000 couples which means it would be way more. If we consider people dying randomly (cause why not) then it'd take roughly 6 generations

Yeah, even if everthing is done by robots, even diversity of gens won't be enough to ensure humans without deformations.
