    Star Trek was confined by budget, and used a goofy ass, obscure storyline that the galaxy was “seeded” by something in ancient times which is why everyone looks like humanoids with different kinds of bumpy foreheads. (despite it being a very specific set of environmental circumstances over millions or billions of years that led to primates on Earth becoming the dominant species, one of those “don’t think about it” plot devices.)

    Does this suggest that there are non-humanoid empires outside of the galaxy? If Warhammer 40k taught us anything, it’s that beyond the Milky Way it’s only tyranids, which are probably going to be a much more difficult romantic option.
