Geek humour!!

# Am I being thick...
or not geeky enough
but where's the humour?

I should point out that I am not a fan of that derivative, unrealistic, US-foreign-policy wank that is StarTreck & all of it's spinnoffs

# I like Star Trek and I have looked and looked
and I too can't see a gag anywhere for parsecs and parsecs

# You are a little....go on admit it to yourself...

# I've tried
God knows, I've tried...
Examples;
All space aliens speak (US)English... Why?
Why do space aliens have two arms, legs, eyes etc in the normal (for us) way? (ok, ok... most- don't bring tribbles up again)

It seems that all space aliens of the same species have the same characteristics; klingons are warriors, those sneaky (Jewish?) ones from DS9, etc. That's like saying all humans have the same charecteristics...

# "All space aliens speak (US)English... Why?"
The ships have magic translator donkeys.

Why do space aliens have two arms, legs, eyes etc in the normal (for us) way?
Actors with more than two arms, legs etc are few and far between and prosthetic versions of extra limbs, eyes etc are a tad too expensive for TV.

# But yes it is very America-centric.

Wankers.

# I found it amusing
when in one of the films they started rubbishing communist books.

The undiscovered country's end speech by the chancellor guy or kirk I forget which, mentions the end of history, which is coincidently a title of a book on communism...
