[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [QB] [i]If I'm watching a courtroom drama, I expect to hear legalese. If I'm watching a WWII film, I expect to hear period babble. By the same token, if I am watching a futuristic sci-fi movie or show, I expect to hear technobabble.[/i] Do you also expect it to solve the characters' dilemmas every other episode? Technobabble may sound futuristic, but if it completely replaces the human condition, then what story is there left to tell? [i]It's not biblical, why expect coherence from it?[/i] Well, gee, maybe because a little coherency here and there (like the ship sustaining damage or a character being traumatized or anything with medium to long-term effects that aren't neglected or ignored the very next episode) goes a long way towards making a show believable? [i]It's called trying to surprise you.[/i] People are surprised by clever plot twists and strong character pieces, not by particles of the week or deflector functions or subspace anomalies or whatever.
