Yeah. This is why fans get upset at bad sequels.

They are not just dolls to be played with every which way then tossed in a box. Chalk to be used on the sidewalk before the rain.

They are just as real to you, dear reader, as I am to you. The Enterprise is as applicable to my life as black holes and dinosaurs. The fiction in my head trying to interpret the world, is just as real as the fiction in your world.

OTOH, try to plan for the future in the physical world. Captain Janeway won’t lend you a 5.
