Mmmm I understand but the problem was the either side winning would have been unsatisfactory too.

Absolute subjugation to Order or Absolute subjugation to Chaos can only be obtained when there is someone to subjugate. That was what was going to be denied.

Of course real life is quite different but we are not dealing with multi-thousand year old beings in real life either.Our adversaries are not so formidable. And yet it is still true that the one who refuses to yield is in the end the one who wins.

I saw it as the morality play between two absolutes. Chaos and Order. Neither COULD prevail, but either could exist without a subject species with no prob what so ever.

Refusing to yeild is good. Refusing to yeild and over coming against nearly insurmountable odds is not only more realistic but plasuible. Even in sci-fi, you need that sense that the things that are happeneing are those that given the same cirumstances in our lives, could in fact happen.

Otherwise, its like letting all the air out of a tire before biking through the Alps. You can do it, but it makes no sense and who would want to?
