The Grand Game

reply to post by rogerstigers

Was watching an episode of "Torchwood: Miracle Day" last night... found it interesting that the hidden antagonists in that story line are very similar to the "families" I elude to in my opening post.

FINALLY someone caught on to what that show is really about. thank you sir or madame, you just made my day a little better.

Civilizations rise and fall. This is a basic premise of human affairs – nothing is forever. However, what if the rise and fall of civilizations is not really as random and chaotic as it appears? What if there was a group of people, a “super-elite” class, which controls the various events in a civilization affecting its prosperity? This essay will attempt to outline the concept of “The Grand Game”.

if you care to sit through it, here's a clip from mass effect. I think it ties in very well with what you're saying here. Some of the references like "protheans" and "reapers" may be obscure but I'm sure you'll understand what is being alluded to.
