Watching Star Trek reminds me of the Beijing Fold

Watching Star Trek's York City, I think of Beijing Folding. Although the novel itself is almost useless, the four words Beijing Folding are probably its value. It is provided to the imagination, and all the specific details can be handed over to top designers. To achieve it with a visual effects artist, the inability of the novel to write clearly has become an advantage of leaving blank space. As for the political implications of despotism and class, just think if someone uses science fiction to reveal the secrets of life in Pyongyang, would we be equally interested. To Westerners, Beijing is also a kind of Pyongyang.

Going back to Star Trek, the multi-directional gravity world of York City was interesting. The plot is indeed the level of a single episode of a unit TV series. It is quite a cutscene and perfunctory. The role of the doctor has a kind of bad acting interest (see Friends Joey). Funny self-consciousness playing Star Trek 3.

In addition, there is no vacuum in ancient science fiction, and there are no environmental concepts that are not suitable for human survival. Aliens are human beings wearing leather hoods. These places insist not to introduce modern scientific cognition. Thinking about it is still exciting.

    Doctor 'Bones' McCoy: Alien despots hell-bent on killing us? Deadly spaceborne viruses and bacteria? Incomprehensible cosmic anomalies that could wipe us out in an instant!

  • Captain James T. Kirk: I heard about Ambassador Spock. Is that what you wanted to mention that time in the turbolift?
