Why I hate Star Trek and why it sucks.

I love science fiction. I love stories of alien invasions, encounters, and distopian futures. I love speculative stories about the future use of emerging technologies. I enjoy reading intelligent and thought-provoking stories designed to make me think about the moral and ethical implications of technology. I even enjoy the occaisional Bug-eyed-monster story, just for fun. The best science fiction movies, in my opinion, are The Andromeda Strain, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Aliens, and maybe Jurassic Park. Why I love these movies above all other science fiction is that they have just the right blend of special effects, drama, but most importantly (and probably LEAST so in Terminator 2), they ask us to ponder, if just for a moment, the implications of our actions, the ethical use of developing or hypothetical technology, or how we feel about balancing our fear of the unknown with the moral and ethical descisions that might arise from a hypothetical situation.
