Does anybody else cross reference science fiction movies with Star Trek
It's amazing how Star Trek has its toe dipped in a lot of classic science fiction.
Not just aliens, but also artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, cloning, cybernetic augmentation, and time travel.
It's crossed over into so many different sub genres of sci fi that I often find myself wondering how a movie relates to Star Trek or how a Star Trek character would react to a movie's scenario.
I was watching GATTACA and I was thinking, "These people are technically augments. This whole society would be illegal by the standards of the UFoP".
Or I think about if Data would befriend Bishop in Aliens.
How the Enterprise could assist the Lazarus missions in Interstellar or prevent the anti matter explosion in Ad Astra.
Would Doctor Emmet Brown be a warp drive technician on a starship?
Would Starfleet tolerate a zoo filled with extinct animals?
Data would be public enemy no. 1 in the world of DUNE (artifical intelligence is akin to Satan worshipping in that world).
How would a Klingon react to spice?
This stuff goes through my head when I watch sci fi movies and TV shows.
