@BaronDestructo@EverySG1Frame@Polygon ‘SG-Atlantis’ & ‘Deep Space 9’ were both a departure of form that had a solid canon framework and told whole new stories…and they were wonderful. They fruitfully expanded and explored and we were enthralled.
The source material is deeply profound:
“Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty and wickedness were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes.”
