You are confusing Star Trek's "vision of the future" with particular technologies in the Star Trek universe. So, Star Trek has simplistic robots or whatever. So what. That's not the point. Star Trek's vision of the future is based on a kind of optimism and overcoming the obstacles of the present. I don't think the…

Good points.

Exactly. Star Trek's Eugenics Wars is Dune's Butlerian Jihad

In the original series they also established the invention of warp drive in 2018, which I'm guessing also won't happen. First Contact had to sloppily ret-con that, too.

In "Space Seed," the Eugenics Wars were also referred to as "the last of your so-called World Wars*." There were analogous cataclysmic events—ie, World War I and World War II—in the past. The eugenics business was only part of the world war. To imagine another world war wasn't an unreasonable thing in the worldview of…

And wasn't there a season-ending cliffhanger where Data and Lore DO decide to take over?

Aren't The Borg basically the Singularity?

The tinkly silent-movie piano versions of Star Trek themes were what really sold it.

It would have made a good silent movie, too.

Ah.

That is an excellent point. Even if it didn't run, you'd think they'd push it out of the garage for pictures. Maybe it's so immobile you can't even PUSH it out of the garage.

I hope some Janko Nilovic is coming. Xenos Cosmos should be the theme song to some 70s sci-fi tv show.

That seems eminently reasonable.

So R2 is a Sith who was trying to screw Skippy. Interesting.

DOZENS!

Sleeping Beauty's crappy parents didn't raise her, they had fairies do that. Actually being raised by two living non-monstrous parents is a little different. Maybe the mom turns out to be a witch or the dad turns into a bear-monster.

They have the same yellow eyes and head ridges and gray skin. They—and the Emperor—frankly look like Star Trek: The Next Generation aliens. "Oh, just give them some forehead ridges and I think we have some left-over gray Cardassian makeup." The emperor was supposed to be the inverse of Yoda—an elderly alien strong in…

Back in the old days, when the sum total of the Star Wars canon consisted of three movies, no explanation of his appearance was needed. He was an elderly alien.
