6. A Star Trek wet dream?

Realize that warp drive was a plot device to get it past the next commercial and it was precisely as fast as was needed to move the story forward.

Yup! It was good at that, which is why Star Trek was so great. But transporters, warp drives, and sub-space were mere plot devices. They were like the pseudo-Latin magic invocations in the Harry Potter series.

That said, fiction always has such things. One has to accept them to get the narrative. If one cannot do that possibly one cannot enjoy the underlying story.

But no. All of science says that there will never be warp drives. Too bad. It is such a great plot device. (Just like time travel, which inevitably invokes a much more tangled plot. )
