Wow, a lot's happened while I was off studying today.
Just a few reactions as I was getting caught up:
1. Do we know that Vulcan doesn't have a media presence? It seems they've gotta get their information somehow. I mean, it'd be bland compared to Earth's, but you'd think their citizens would be staying on top of current events somehow.
2. Yes, TnT would be relatively insulated from media sensationalism on the Enterprise, but it's unlikely they would spend their entire lives there, especially if they get the "happily ever after" they've earned. At some point they're gonna end up dirtside.
3. Gloom and doom? I don't know about that. Things change, which means there's hope for a brighter future. People, on the other hand, don't change--or I should say. human nature doesn't. So while we may reign in how we behave, we will always still be curious about how other people live, what they have that we don't, the juicy details.
4. Terra Prime--well, all I can say is that in a climate of fear--post-Xindi attack--even reasonably bright people will react out of that fear, be confused and mistrustful. The climate on Earth is ripe for something like that.
