:BSG actually does a good job of credible science here. Instead of magical sensors, they mention spectroscopic equipment and every now and then spectrograms are visible (like when they find the water in "Water"). Technically a spectroscope uses sensors too, but the term has become totally diluted in SciFi. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 12:12, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

Visions of Voyager

If we can reroute the sensors to the deflector dish, we should be able to detect the technobabble from astrometrics. (I wonder if there's any system that CAN'T be rerouted to the deflector dish. I imagine you could rig up one HECK of a sonic shower...) --Steelviper 10:43, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

Or ST:TNG, where Capt. Picard discovered another place to polish his own deflector. :) (Note that this was a RDM episode.) --Spencerian 11:36, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
