Rigil Kent wrote:Um ... Trek is fantasy. They pretty much throw any realistic science out the window, hence it is space fantasy, not science fiction. Instead of elves and orcs, Trek has Vulcans and Klingons. Instead of magic, they have psionics and technobabble and holodecks. Instead of wizards, they have godlike aliens of the week (i.e. Q).
Something like Contact or that Red Mars book (which I did try to read back when it first came out, but didn't like it) is actual science fiction...
Just saying.
