    A lot of most sci-fi out there is people talking to each other. It’s more a case of the people watching them having selective memory and ST fans memory selecting things the other way around.

        Key takeaway being that there’s a bit of distinction, and a hell of a lot of overlap, between sci-fi, fantasy, and action/adventure.
