Hmm. I agree with jackryder.

thetathx1138, I'm afraid you're wrong. Why? You know those reaction bits where people are asked about how they feel 'prawns' will affect their neighbourhoods? Those are real, except the question was how having other cultures like Nigerians moving in.

As to agency, I think fanwank consensus is they are some sort of worker caste and the leaders are all dead, perhaps except the one we see with all the tech. Or perhaps he's of a tech caste, as his plan is to leave and go find leaders.
I hadn't really thought of the implications of the documentary framing.

Y'know, once upon a time Star Trek would do this sort of thing, in a less gritty manner to be sure.
