I once asked astrophysicist and TV presenter (
The Sky at Night) Chris Lintott if he could still enjoy popular science fiction like the Terminator films, Star Wars and The X-Files despite his extensive knowledge of real-life space-related science. He replied:
The short version is yes - actually, it's easier to
enjoy Star Wars than something pseudo-scientific like
Armageddon.
Just remember all spaceships travel at the speed of
plot!
