Maybe we really are in a low-budget universe designed for easy comprehension by the lowest common denomenator audience. When we find alien races in space, maybe they will almost all be bipedal humanoids who speak English (but without indefinite articles).

Incidentally, when Gene Rod. did get a script in TOS, it tended to have some really awful elements. For example, the TOS episode where the turning point is when Kirk finds an old flag of the underground movement on the alien planet, and sees that it just happens to coincidentally be exactly like a flag of the USA. Naturally, this also goes hand-in-hand with them having come up with the same words as some of America's Founding Fathers, which he recites. Yep. Total coincidence. USA as universal truth and goodness. Yep.

Yep.

Yep yep yep.
