Tripped over this while surfing just now:
http://enphilistor.users4.50megs.com/cliche.htm
.. a good long list of all sorts of science fiction cliches. I
especially
like the use of icons to help sort the list! Lots of little Star Trek
symbols, to note cliches ST has been guilty of engaging in...
My favourite: "After twenty years of crew members being tossed around
like
rag dolls, the spacecraft still has no seatbelts."
(For on-topic bonus points, I'll note that the fluff fiction in the
various FT books has made mention of maneuvering harnesses, crash seats,
etc... )
