Definitely Not an Allegory

Location: Enterprise-D observation lounge Panel 1: Star Trek TNG-style title: “Elocution.” Picard, looking left: “Your people understandably grow weary of the restrictions placed upon them. So they lash out violently at innocent civilians.” 2: Picard, looking right: “Your government responds with overwhelming force while doing little to protect civilian lives. Followed by even more restrictions in the name of protecting your citizens. This cycle of violence and cultural animus has been repeated for generations.” 3: Picard, flanked by Riker and Troi: “In my years of diplomacy, there is one universal constant: situations like this can always be improved if people are willing to talk and listen to each other. I’m pleased that you have all agreed to meet here in the spirit of clear, open communication.” 4: At the other end of the table, Mars is on the view screen. Sesame Street Martians stand on one side, saying “yip yip yip yip hello yip yip yip yip greetings yip yip yip.” Mars Attacks Martians stand at the other side, saying “Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!”
