@MLClark "NO KILL I."
The first TOS episode I remember watching is "The Man Trap," for some reason. My father was abusive to us, but at least he introduced us to Trek, so there's that.
I've long forgotten who wrote it, but I remember reading a SF novel where human colonists on another world were almost wiped out by the native life forms. They finally figured out how to coexist. It's a life lesson I try to practice. Hey, they were here first.
