[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 294628, member: 1016"] I would hope they would be self-consistent, internally consistent may be a different matter. And while I agree that psionics can fit in fantasy, lets just agree to disagree on the rest, shall we. So you do agree with one of my alternatives, which is to gloss over the explanations such as nanoviruses and the like. My reaction was evidently different than yours. Perhaps it is from my own tendencies that there should be some mysteries left in the world and Science needs a good kick in the teeth once in a while to be reminded that not all things can fit neatly in a box. Some are hit and miss, but I bet more would be miss if they had to waste more time double checking “facts” to keep some FANatic happy. Personally, I like strange. Life in space will be pretty boring if its not going to be strange. I think your lumping Braga into Outer Limits is a little broad. I’ve found OL to be leaning towards horror than strangeness and I haven’t seen Enterprise be that dark, really. In retrospect, to think that a show that was breaking a lot of rules when it first came out so many moons ago can not accommodate strangeness anymore is sort of sad. :( Instead of "shatter" this and "turd" that, how about just saying you found the shrinking incident too silly and be done with it :) It will make you feel better.
