gwax's rumblings

I recently gained access to a whole bunch of episodes of var­i­ous Star Trek show (TOS, TNG, DS9) and have started watch­ing some of the TOS episodes. This admis­sion in and of itself lays a path out for me, but I’ve been find­ing a whole lot of sci­en­tific anom­alies in what’s going on. The errors that I’m find­ing are not the “you can’t travel faster than light” kind, or super fan­tas­tic astro­physics errors, but the sim­ple sci­ence kinds, like how NaCl acts chem­i­cally. On one hand, I feel good because I know all this sci­ence and am a lit­tle dis­ap­pointed that the errors exist in Star Trek, and, on the other hand, I feel like a com­plete nerd for notic­ing things like this.

I guess that it’s a good thing that I don’t really mind being a nerd sometimes.
