    I was always tickled by the fact that almost every star trek alien is just a human with some kind of minor distinguishing facial feature

      Ancient origins

      Despite the vast distances separating their homeworlds, many humanoid species have been found to share a remarkable commonality in form and genetic coding. These similarities were believed to be evidence of a common ancestry, an ancient humanoid species, who lived in our galaxy's distant past some four billion years ago.

      It's of course a necessary explanation to make the show feasable in a world without infinitely powerfull CGI, but Star Trek isn't that thoughtless.

            Nah my problem was that I never watch movies, less sci-fi and I had just gave my Physics 1 exam, so on top of bitching about plotholes and lines I couldn't stop bitxhing about all the brocken laws of physics and shit.
