[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 4463468, member: 59506"] Well, I don't know about [I][B][U]Lost[/U][/B][/I] (haven't seen it but plan on watching it on Sci-Fi now that they are showing the series) but: [I][B][U]Star Trek[/U][/B][/I] was always about saving the [I]galaxy[/I], not just the [I]world[/I]. A lot of episodes simply involved saving themselves, and of course "seeking new worlds and new civilizations", but the overall themes, whether Kirk and crew, Picard and crew, Sisko and crew, Janeway and crew, or Archer and crew (whew!), was almost always save [I][U]the[/U][/I] world (Earth), [I][U]another[/U][/I] world (alien), or the [I][U]galaxy[/U][/I] from the next big bad threat. [B][I][U]Alias[/U][/I][/B] definately had the puzzle and espionage theme going, but the overall plot was always the Rambaldi prophecy about Sidney and her role in a coming Apocalypse. Once again, that's saving the world. But, I'm sure there are other themes out there that aren't about saving the world (it's just hard to find, it seems the majority of ones easily pillaged for roleplaying, usually fall back on "save the world" also).
