…’Star Trek’ everything (TV-Movies) only has aliens that are in humanoid shape, makes no sense to me. Scientifically we cannot think, if we start, eventually, space exploration that all the life we come into contact with will come in humanoid shape. Why the BLANK did not ‘Star Trek’ everything creators not think of this? The first three TV series figured this out, but since then everything I have seen has only Humanoid shape aliens.

*- I am not saying we will ever be able to explore space, it has already scientifically proven that space particles can be blocked from going right through astronauts bodies & long term will cause serious damage.

The scientific American published article said, the science proved that the dangerous effect will be on their brains & causing effects like Alzheimer.

    Would you watch a show where humans meet oyster shaped aliens who vibrate to communicate and who get excited by vocal notes that are B flat and get enraged by succulent plants? That’s plausibly alien right? How about every episode 20+ times a season, some new totally alien thing every time? (Sorry for the ridiculous example alien, in my defense I am very tired)

    Humanoid emotions/body language and motives make for generally easier to understand stories that are more compelling.

    You could not ask philosophical questions or have difficult plot decisions without having some common ground in logic/rationality/motives.

      Yes, obviously, to all what replied with. Realism matters,
      I know you are blowing way out of portion, how hard it would be for media script writers & the audiences.

      Really, the question should be flipped & ask why you do not want obviously realism, that scientist have long believed?

      You think I had not already thought of that? Let me inform you of whom you exchanging with, that relates to above question:

      I have language processing challenges,
      Former educator, Degreed is SLD & had achieved certifications in ESE & PE,
      I am a person who has people close to me that are fluent in sign language. Only fluent, so they can talk to people who have physical challenges in communicating.
      &
      Most importantly, starting to write a SciFi set of stories-comic books-movies scripts, that involves space exploration.

      Not only that, but

      As I mention before the First-2-‘Star Trek’ series,

      ‘Star Wars’ (famous & bad character) did it

      &

      in Seth MacFarlane’s ‘The Orville’ there is a famous comedic actor (I forget his name) playing a blob shaped alien crew member, who regularly appears in the episodes.
