Line 77:

* ''[[Star Trek]]'' gets far more leeway than any other non-parody sci-fi show with many of the tropes it popularized because they are seen as intrinsic to the show's history: [[Planet of Hats]], [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]], [[Techno Babble]], [[Space Is an Ocean]], [[Humanity Is Superior]] and all manners of [[Applied Phlebotinum|Phlebotinum Abuse]] to name just a few. It is almost easier to name the [[Speculative Fiction Tropes]] Trek ''can't'' get away with by claiming "that's the way it worked for Kirk."

** And then ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' came along and [[Deconstruction|deconstructed]] the hell out of ''[[Star Trek]]'', which is the main reason behind its [[Broken Base]].

* Using [[Nothing but Hits|a singer or a band's song in a modern film or films set in the present day]] largely fell out of favor in the mid- 2000s, and have been very rare ever since, due to more concerns over copyright and legal issues in getting permission to use them, especially if the song is recent, or if the band or singer stopped performing. However, films set as a [[Period Piece]] will generally get a pass since it helps to identify the time period, and often also for accuracy. Furthermore, the fact that the songs that are used are often already well known makes it easier since the songs are more well known, and therefore the threat of copyright or legal issues is considerably diminished as a result.
