All right. Switching gears to fiction-writing, after some tedious administrivia this afternoon, carried forward from yesterday's ridiculous 3-hour meeting & debrief.
What is your LEAST favourite sci-fi trope? Bonus points if it's something that gets done to death on #StarTrek!
@MLClark Why tell you what you already know?!
Another one that annoys me is the "evil admiral" who always comes in to be the antagonist of the week.
To be more generic, I'd have to give some thought to evil highers-up who come in with some agenda to frak up our protagonists.
