LOL . . . I loved Star Trek as a kid, but the fake stuff got old. TV replaced the science in science-fiction with action and sex.
(Same thing they're doing to the election, but I digress. LOL)
Nowadays, people "proud as hell" that they "believe in science" couldn't spot the simplest incorrect stuff.
Some can argue all day in Klingon whether some imaginary world allows a particular imaginary thing (as a scientist might say, "whether a given system is consistent") but when a simple problem of springs and weights is posed on the screen, it is totally misrepresented.
Writers take poetic license with science because the story is easier to write. (Writers say it's because it makes the story better. Like knowing the combination makes a safecracker's job easier, I guess.)
Anyhow, my long appreciation for the PRINT genre was killed by Hollywood.
Do I love to blast off ranting in the AM or what?
GOOD MORNING MOSSBERG OWNERS!
