[Rick and Roll]

True, most science fiction is social commentary in a different time and place. Star Trek was one of my favorite shows because it never pretended to be sci-fi. They had episodes on the cold war, robotics, race issues, all kinds of things.

It helped to have a Vulcan who could have inner eyelids and things like that to get them out of impossible situations...

Sci-fi to me was never special effects, etc...
