Little is still some.  I try to keep the fantasy elements firmly embedded
in pseudo tech and science garb.  We are not doing Captain Harry Potter
here.  It's Science Fantasy.  You must keep some science in the mix or it
starts to look to far gone.  "Magics of Megas Two" anyone?

I contend that Trek is not so broken that it cannot be
"realistically" portrayed.  Some things must be hand waved to get
around them, like transporters.  OK we do not explain the technology, it
simply works.
 That is an fantasy as you want to be getting.
