Trope name is Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale, not any of its subpages. Discussion here.


* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: At one point Janeway comments that Michael runs on "300 deciwatts". Not only is "300 tenths of a watt" an odd way to say "30 watts", it's a shockingly low power draw. (Modern PC [=GPUs=] can draw anywhere from 80 to 100w).

Added DiffLines:

* UrbanLegend: Legend has it that in 1846 the spirit folk made the inhabitants of an entire town vanish into thin air, after first ruining the potato crop. Of course, that was during the Irish Famine when a lot of people either died or emigrated to avoid dying.

** Sullivan's argument for coexisting with the crew is that they've never used their seemingly magical abilities against them. Even assuming they're willing to overlook the ForcedTransformation in this episode, he might want to ask [[RetGone his wife]] about that.

* ContinuitySnarl: The nightclub program in ''[=DS9=]'' also ran nonstop for a long time, but none of the characters showed any signs of self-awareness or other malfunctions (except Vic Fontaine, but he was programmed that way from the start). Maybe the Cardassians just have better holo-tech.
