"Remember always that Star Trek is never fantasy. . . ."

[Nettic]

Star Trek Writers/Directors Guide (Third Revision, April 17, 1967):

Remember always that STAR TREK is never fantasy; whatever happens, no matter how unusual or bizarre, must have some basis in either fact or theory and stay true to that premise (don't give the enemy Starflight capability and then have them engage our vessel with grappling hooks and drawn swords.)​

Memory Alpha: Star Trek is...

A one-hour dramatic television series.
Action-Adventure-Science Fiction. . . .​

LOL!

 

[F. King Daniel]

Plans change. As long as they continue to entertain me, I'm cool with it.

 

[Vger23]

Har har

LOLZ

Remember always that STAR TREK is never fantasy...

...except for when it is.

 

[Greg Cox]

Uhura disagrees:

"This isn't reality. This is fantasy!"

 

[-Brett-]

The first season of the original series is full of space magic that has no grounding in fact or theory. Both of the pilots pit the Enterprise crew against space wizards.

Star Trek has always been fantasy.

Except all the times that it is.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Plans change.

"The best-laid plans of Great Birds and men...."

 

[Tenacity]

Both of the pilots pit the Enterprise crew against space wizards.

And the TNG pilot had Q (I'm going to start referring to him as a "space wizard").

The DS9 pilot had the prophets.

And the TNG pilot had Q (I'm going to start referring to him as a "space wizard").

The DS9 pilot had the prophets.

And Voyager's had a man playing a banjo who might as well have been a wizard.

No wizards per se in Enterprise's, though there is a guy from the future.

There some Organians, IIRC (space wizards).

They weren't in Broken Bow.

D'oh. I missed your apostrophe s.

He's talking about the pilot.

No space wizard. Just a time wizard.

 

[M3ntos]

Clearly that was the original point.

Some of you guys mad? LOL!

I think we're done here.
