And Trekkies are liable to dismiss the show entirely due to its lack of exploration. Finally, the arc-based format does not lend itself to syndication.

** In another example that was almost certainly unintentional (given that the law wasn't passed until the year after the series ended) the Federation's morally ambiguous spy agency, Section 31, shares its name with the portion of the United Kingdom's Freedom of Information Act that covers exceptions to the act "for the public good", such as preventing criminals from learning the details of an ongoing investigation. Then again, given the British people's propensity for dry wit and longstanding love of science fiction, it's not impossible that the reverse is true.
