    The conception of Spock. A complex entanglement of tentacles, neurons and particles.

    I absolutely hate that series! The content is so off reality and the science is so full of flaws!

    I love Star Trek, but it’s definitely flawed. The technology is inefficent and full of security holes — http://www.channelinsider.com/c/a/News/Why-Star-Trek-Needs-Tech-Support-387920/. We have better technology today than Kirk does in the 23rd century.

    The future isn’t what it once was.

    Actually, the original series was the best. Objectively.

    Whether or not the “technology” or “science” adds up is irrelevant, because it’s Science Fiction, so all you haters fail.
