Gravity is definitely about the journey, whatever you read trust me, you aren't really spoiled.

It hasn't. But it should make some effort to use plausible scientific principles.
It hasn't. But it should make some effort to use plausible scientific principles instead of just waving a hand and saying, "Oh, it's <insert polysyllabic technobabble that means nothing>" or some magic solution (wtf is so special about nuKhan's blood that it can revive dead people?).
Like Berman Trek.
They are all full of nonsense. Sure you might get some accurate moments but the science a plot hangs on is usually ridiculous because it's not really the point.

Space Seed said:KIRK: Bones?
MCCOY: He'll live.
KIRK: My compliments.
MCCOY: No, I'm good, but not that good. There's something inside this man that refuses to accept death. Look at that. Even as he is now, his heart valve action has twice the power of yours and mine. Lung efficiency is fifty percent better.

In which episode did he use nuKhan's magic blood (or anyone else's magic blood)?Like Berman Trek.
I would be the first to concede that "Threshold" was ridiculous and I consider it to be even worse than "Spock's Brain." It was also stomach-turning, and is the only Voyager episode that I vowed never to watch a second time.Funny, I don't remember "The rate at which a person transforms into a repite is directly proportional to their speed above the rate of plot advancement." being a part of general relativistic sciences.
Check my profile. I've been a Trek fan since November 1975. That's nearly 38 years, which is longer than many people on this forum have been alive. I've seen TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and some of ENT. I've seen every movie. Granted, I haven't seen much of it lately, but I have seen most of it quite a few times. I've read a respectable number of the novels, and several of the "Making of" books. Do NOT trot out that insulting crap that I'm not familiar with Star Trek, 'k?I know others have asked it, but you really haven't seen a lot of Trek have you? STID's trekscience is nowhere the level of batshit, pulled out of the ass, psudeo-science that has been cooked up by the franchise in the past.It hasn't.

Magic blood? How about Picard being beamed out as a pattern of energy into an energy cloud-being in space, only to be retrieved and revived by the transporter.
Dieing of a disease? Just pull a hair from a hairbrush, scan it into the computer, and let the transporter reboot your body.
McCoy doesn't mention anything about blood composition. Besides, Original Khan and nuKhan are not the same people.Maybe the writers watched "Space Seed".It hasn't.

Agreed. However, some of the novel authors made the effort to point that out and write scenarios where Sarek and Amanda needed advanced medical help to conceive Spock and have Amanda carry him to birth without either her or Spock dying.Spock being half human/half alien with copper-based blood is bad science, and he's the very foundation of Trek. The standard was set then and there.It hasn't.

The Doctor pronounces Neelix dead, but Seven proposes a revival procedure using nanoprobes from her bloodstream. After discussing it with the Doctor and Captain Janeway, Janeway orders the Doctor to proceed, even though Neelix has been dead for 18 hours. Seven quickly modifies and administers the nanoprobes, they proceed, and after some touch and go, Neelix is revived. He has no recollection of what happened and where he has been and wonders why he is in sickbay.
He doesn't have to. The human healing process centers around blood. Khan was seconds away from death in "Space Seed", that he could recover quickly and completely without McCoy lifting finger means he has "magic blood".McCoy doesn't mention anything about blood composition. Besides, Original Khan and nuKhan are not the same people.
We also have Nomad raising Scotty from the dead in "The Changeling".Berman Trek Magic Blood.

Gee that sounds familiar. Like I saw it in a movie recently.

Original Khan and nuKhan are the same people. Khan comes from before the timeline split in 2233.
Not every little thing needs a piece of dialog to fully "explain" it. The viewer should be able to connect the dots on their own.

Spock didn't have mental powers until they were retconned onto him a few episodes into the series - leading one to wonder why he never attempted a neck pinch on Garry Mitchell, or why he, a strong telepath, wasn't affected by passage into the barrier at the edge of the galaxy.He doesn't have to.
