Space opera using 'science' should at least try to remain consistent. ST:TNG would be a lot easier to stomach if they didn't rely on 'the quantum string in his bootlaces is disrupting our crapion array' in order to generate a plot.

"Captain, we appear to have been sucked in by a recurring plot line."
"What does this mean Mr data?"
"It means we are doomed to repeat the plot from a first generation star trek episode using different technobabbel."
"Gawd help us all, go to red alert."
"Are you sure sir? It does mean we'll have to change the bulb".



Yep, this is why I finally got sick of Trek. NO consistency in the technology/imaginary universe. TOTAL consistency in the recycled stories. Bleh... At least with B5 they take more than one episode to resolve a crisis so the course of a given episode is not so utterly predictable. And, hey, the limitations and advantages of their technologies don't change from one episode to the next!
