So here is the thing... how is it this is even possible? Don't you need the same amount of compatible chromosomes? Was this ever explained? It seems like Cardassians evolved from a reptilian line, and we know that Vulcan's have copper based blood. Klingons have a lot more redundant organs. How does this stuff mix???

And why do all aliens look like british people with bondo on their nose / ears? And for that matter how the hell do tachyons fix everything? And how do their damn shields work? And how does a phaser, which can vaporize someone use the same mechanism to make them sleepy?

Face it, Star Trek is lord of the rings with flashing lights and unitards.
 
If one were to have sex with a hologram in the holodeck, do they leave their man juice on the ground when they're done... who cleans it?
 
You missed the TNG episode where it was discovered that all those races were evolved from the same extinct race, millions of years ago? Started off with Picard's old college archaeology professor visiting him and offering a partnership in the most important discovery of the age.

Yeah, because in Star Trek that's the part that stands out as being impossible. :roll:
 
While much of star trek is based on real or plausible ideas, interspecies mating would never work...

Same goes for universal translators...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembered that one 😉

Oh, and the hologram of that race looked like the founders. I think the female was even the same one who eventually played the "leader" of the founders.
 
We learned with Worf's woman (who was 1/2 human, 1/2 Klingon) that there was significant "lab intervention" involved.

Also, nothing says that non-homologous recombination won't work. We just haven't seen any instance that it does work in nature. Some species are capable of automatic regeneration of non-homologous counterparts. Also nothing says that non-homologous genetic structures won't simply get dropped either.

Simply put, we have no idea about any extraterrestrial physiology or biology/chemistry. It could be that humans are actually at the shallow end of the overall gene pool.

Question: How is it that species who can travel the stars, harness antimatter fuel sources, and build multi-kilometer-long warships inevitably end up in battles that devolve into hand to hand combat at distances of a few feet?

I honestly have asked myself this same question. 😱

Oh god -- there was an article on something awful a few years ago dealing with the guy who had that job -- it was OMG ROFL. I'm not gonna go searching because I'm at work, but I remember it dealing with riker being a holodeck sex addict.

No I remember that episode, and I was going to reference it here. But if you think about it, it doesn't matter. That explains DNA and oxygen breathing species. But after millions of years of evolution, that doesn't explain mixing.

Because they want to kick it old school. Gives them more "galaxy cred".

More importantly, how come you never see them go to the bathroom? I bet Klingon turds are HUGE, and like everything Klingon, a #2 situation is a battle itself.

Because filming photon torpedo battles is expensive.

This. They aren't scientists, they aren't engineers, they aren't starship commanders, they are just actors and highly talented musicians.

And during said combat, why do they use some of the most impractical weapons possible? And why do even the warrior races display a clear lack of tactics when boarding/fighting?

Universal Translator... duh.

EDIT: And they also ran into many non-humanoid alien races.
