jIH DichDaq taH pa' vaD SoH

The alien civilizations in Star Wars, Star Trek, and ...well, about 98% of all sci-fi, actually, go off the assumption that they were just like ours, and they advanced to the point where they can have space travel and whatnot.

Ignoring the silliness of that assumption, I'd like to focus on an idea that is not really touched upon by this theory. Before the Klingons (for example) built interstellar spaceships, they must have built other technology. Like, say, television.

Which would mean that they would have had television shows....

Which means that there must exist Klingon versions of Friends. Dude.

DUDE.

"This is foolish! Why does not Ross, the largest Friend, simply eat the other five?!"

"Maybe they are saving that for sweeps."

Also, slightly more seriously, there was a Next Generation episode in which an explanation was given for the similarity between species. All I can remember is that Jonathon Frakes directed it.
