Fan Theories Nine

The Klingon empire.....
.......almost joined the Federation but left as a result of a military coup which ended their brief experiment with democracy. Planets conquered by the Klingons either joined the Federation or became part of the Klingon Neutral Zone. 

The series "Humans" and "Space: Above and Beyond" are set in the Star Trek universe. The AI War was later referred to as "world war three" and was an attempt by the Synths to increase their number.

The Klingons are really Augments, genetically modified humans who left Earth during the Eugenics War. These Augments conquered a number of planets and created the Klingon empire. Elements of the conquered culture's religions ended up becoming adopted by the Klingons. 

 Vulcan Intelligence deliberately started the Earth-Romulan_War. 

 This was done by providing Earth with Vulcan technology. When Earth ships started exploring and setting up outposts near the Romulan border, the Romulans attacked believing they were preventing a Vulcan preemptive strike. 

 Vulcan-Romulan hostilities (presumably previous?) had been established in Star Trek: Voyager.  

 Vulcan's reasoning was that this would have prevented a greater conflict between Earth and Vulcan on one side and an alliance between the Romulan and Andorian empires on the other.

Considering the common Vulcan disdain for humans and Starfleet, is Vulcan really a Federation member?

Ditto Trill and Betazed as they clearly have caste-based systems.

The Federation and Starfleet came up with the Prime Directive after Earth was contacted by the The Culture.

The United Federation of Planets is really the GFCF from Surface Detail. Like the Culture, the United Federation of Planets uses alien mercenaries, but in this case as diplomats (i.e. Vulcans, Trills and others).In return, members of these species are allowed to join Starfleet as if they were Federation citizens.

Westeros 2

One thing which bothers me about ASOIAF/GOT  is the height of the Wall and the fact that people have been able to cross over it. Not just stone-age Wildlings but that the (supposedly under-manned and under-funded) Night’s Watch were not only able to get to the top of the Wall but actually place defences on the top!  The Wall is actually so high that people would get blown off by the wind on a regular basis! It is established in the books that the Wall (which is 700 feet high and 300 miles long) protects itself, so perhaps this is more of a plot hole. OK, so let's imagine that the Wall is, actually (more like) 300 feet high and 150 miles long, while some parts of it have fallen down. At these parts the Night's Watch have their fortifications. Specifically Castle Black, Mole's Fort which basically contains a trebuchet and Eastwatch, where the Wall is a consistent 200 feet high and extends 60 feet into the Narrow Sea  There are a number of abandoned castles on the W...

Fan theories 2

Just as Childhood's End (first theory) could be viewed as a prelude or explanation of many SF fictional universes (the "Overmind" is the Force in Star Wars, among others) the film AI could be a seen as a mythological version of the founding of The Culture -in particular the "panhumans" described as being abundant in the (well "our") galaxy and beyond.  At the film's epilogue, all the humans had been killed as a result of a new Ice Age but the descendants (so to speak) of the film's "mechas" (intelligent androids) remain. It could be conceivable that a similar event actually happened in Earth's distant past. A race of hominids, perhaps unknown in the fossil record, invented and heavily utilised, artificial intelligence just before their civilisation was destroyed in an ice age. Of course, a few survivors could have left Earth in spaceships before this happened, but the main point is that the AIs which survived were able to crea...

The Feudal? System of Westeros

Feudalism, such as it is, in  "A Song of Ice and Fire", is an interesting concept when peasants are not bound to the land. There was no Westerosi emperor Diocletian. The great houses operate very much like the old kings of Ireland, and India during the Raj also. In both cases the English monarch became the overlord of these peoples in the same way Aegon the Conqueror conquered six of the seven kingdoms. The Lords are petty kings with the iron throne belonging to an overlord (or High King as was the equivalent case in Ireland). I would assume that every local lord is able to demand some from of tribute from nearby peasants but even this may not be certain. What the main lords subsist on, I would imagine, is their ability to enforce the king's laws and their rights over the lands they rule. This specifically means being able to fine poachers (and criminals in general). One could imply from the television adaptation that each of the main lords depends on their control...
