holliYou know, watching this episode, something occurred to me. I think I get why the Ascended Ancients are so big on non-interference.
They totally can't trust themselves to *not* interfere, can they? I mean, while they were alive, all they *did* was interfere-- they were playing giant games of Civilzation with *real people* for the express purpose of figuring out what kind of interference worked best. And they didn't even limit their interference to the poor dumb humans. They built the Ascension machine to interfere with *other Ancients* who weren't making the grade!
Man. The Ancients really were jerks, weren't they?
