Why is it in space movies, that all spaceships, no matter how small, have internal artificial gravity and no matter how badly your ship gets pummelled by the evil aliens, no matter how many external panels get blown away, no matter how many sparks or how much smoke pours out of your control panels, the artificial gravity will always keep working??

Why is it that warp or hyper-drive will always fail at critical moments?

Why is it that the inertial dampers (or whatever) will always prevent passengers from being spattered against the walls during acceleration into warp speed, yet any explosion will send crewmen flying across the room? They've overcome the obstacle of warp/speed of light travel, but forgot seat-belts?

Why is it in a spaceship battle scene, for a ship to fire a weapon at another, it must be in visual range? (Even though the 20th century saw the advent of weapons that can be fired without visual contact, the people of the future have lost this technology?)

Don't forget that when something gets hit, it explodes into a large fireball........ w/o oxygen.

Show up at a Star Wars or Star Trek convention with that kind of attitude and you will be escorted out. There were rules written back in the sixties about what is and is not allowed with space exploration, robots and FEMBOTS, "see Austin Powers for rules on Fembots". Gene Rodenbery (sp) was a writer of some of the rules that deal with subject.

Funny bit by comedian Bobcat Goldthwait about the subject:


Warning: a little racy for the kiddos... PG-13 content
