I’ll have to check it out then! I distractedly read the volume where they battle the Martians a long time ago...

I can’t honestly complain, I love him in Sherlock.

You’re not the only one (another commenter above agrees with you), I for one love his take of Moriarty and didn’t mind Bardem too although I preferred Mads Mikkelsen’s Le Chiffre better. Anyway it’s a matter of personal taste.

No, I’ve just had the displeasure of see the movie unfortunately. Does Moriarty creates SPECTRE in the comic?

It's the show that arguably launched Cumberbatch's career. I recommend it.

Personally, I love his untraditional rendition of Moriarty but I can see why some people don’t like him.

The actor above plays Moriarty in the BBC tv show Sherlock... I was playing on the connection.

I would love that! I can’t see Morty taking orders from anyone.

So Moriarty is part of Spectre? Bond doesn’t stand a chance alone...he should ask Q to call Mycroft and involve Sherlock too.

A very well argumented reply! My scenario was more a sci-fi divertissement rather than a serious alter-history analysis. For the sake of argument, maybe we could envision a situation where drones are considered too easy to hack (therefore dangerous) and fast cloning and accelerated growth could make the pre-humans a…

My scenario was more a sci-fi concept rather than a real analysis, the sanctuary/reserve it's probably more realistic outcoming. I'm not so sure about the impossibility of slavery coming back since it survives nowadays in some form or another even if it's illegal almost anywhere...anyway as you must have noticed I'm a…

I hope you’re right but I have less faith than you in the moral compass of our societies, furthermore, say that they are freed after a successful protest movement...what they would do now that they are sort of a part of our society without actually being really accepted? They would probably be forced to go back to…

Yeah, it’s definitely more a sci-fi concepot than hard science but I wonder if they would be intelligent enought to at least understand simple commands even withouth grasping the full range of human language.

He’s a traitor of his own race!

That would be the excuse they’d use in an attempt to exploit the pre-humans in ‘First world’ countries (I use the term just for simplicity but I don’t like it), in other parts of the World they probably wouldn’t even bother to try that, they would simply exploit them trough a series of local sub-contractors and front…

Well, the history of rights isn’t an assured progression...gained ones can be easily revoked under the right (not an ethical judgment here) circumstances. For example, even if in some domains they seem to be expanding (see gay marriage) at the same time labor rights in many developed countries seem to be under heavy…

I can see a scenario where they would be used as cheap slave labor in developing countries by unscrupolous corporations with their corporate lawyers arguing against their eligibility for human rights (“they aren’t strictly speaking humans after all!”). Maybe even trained as foot soldiers and used in regional conflicts…

Too much molybdenum can kill you.
