Yes. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
I think THIS PART RIGHT HERE hits the nail on it's head!
I have no problem with a magic superdrive that instantly jumps anywhere in Trek (well, maybe a bit for canon issues. But not really, if it's dealt with in the long run)
What irritates the heck outta' me is "we have that magic, galaxy spanning-mushroom, that's somehow alive, even though it has no soil and would need to eat the entire universe for it's energy consumption. But it's roots are everywhere, on every single inch of space and time through the entire multiverse. And - listen to that - we can SLIDE on it's roots! To everywhere! Isn't that cool, dude? Don't you wanna' travel on 'shrooms as well?"
