Not to mention isn't it convenient that every alien species uses communications protocols/frequencies identical to the federation's? And somehow everyone speaks the same language?

Love the show(s) though, just there are some exceedingly cheesy/corny aspects. Personally I think Roddenberry was a bit lazy - not nearly as imaginative as Asimov or maybe Frank Herbert. Maybe on par with Lucas - some great stuff, some wickedly lame-o stuff.
