Some more:
- Robots will often desire to be human, even if their brains are millions of times more sophisticated.
- A disproportionate number of wormholes to the past lead to World War II or Ancient Rome.
- Lots of problems can be solved by talking gobbledook, waving something with lots of lights on at the problem and causing something to happen that basically puts the entire problem back where it came from by the end of the episode. Yes, Star Trek and Doctor Who, I'm looking at you.
- Spaceships might have faster than light drives, laser cannons, funky looking hulls and enough velour uniforms for a thousand crew members, but they don't appear to have any loos. The Battlestar Galactica is exception to this, and has large, well appointed unisex toilets.
