Social sciences are sciences...they're the "soft sciences", hence "soft sci-fi". Off the top of my head, Three Body Problem? Tau Zero? Stephen Baxter's Xeelee and Manifold series?

It's the only one I couldn't finish. Baseball is just sooooo loving boring that even having it in space with funny aliens couldn't fix it.

Burning_Monk posted:I put it in quotes for a reason. Star Trek is generally grounded in known scientific knowledge and having an alien race that can replicate itself in a second with no matter or energy needed is Looney Tunes not Star Trek. They draw the energy and matter from the mycelial network.

I just started to actually watch Enterprise from S1 since earlier I have only seen episodes here and there. On the first 10 or so episodes yeah, "Americans going to business trip to EU and Asia" is actually quite close.  ...Although I still find it a bit stupid plot hole that in the episode "Dear Doctor" the Valakians are desperate for Humans to give them warp-capable ship to find more help. They had already met the Ferengi, why didn't they sell them some POS warp 3 trash hauler for mining rights?

Dead folks cant pay debts, theres no guarantee they'll find anyone to help them. Odds are better that some klingon ship will gank them then you're out a ship and the debt

it's possible that they had nothing worth trading for even a lovely ship. not every planet has valuable resources, and even the population was worthless what with all the dying.

Well, besides the other sentient race being very suitable for staffing mining colonies and stuff like that. But that is very grimdark stuff so it didn't fly at that time. Disco probably makes setting up a slave mining colony an episode. It is done for a Reason.
