I understand how people don't like the same body type, but there's actually a reason for that explored in some of the episodes. I'm kinda disappointed that they aren't making any more real Star Treks, because Enterprise just isn't the same thing. It's easier to take for granted some of the technologies that are behind what they should be in the future when they aren't exploring them. Like the primitive communicators from TOS and our cell phones are already so much better. One thing I did always like about the Star Treks was the scientific basis and feasibility of many of the ideas. There were some smart people writing that stuff and scientists are slowly catching up to the ideas of some of the things on there. Even teleporters are feasible once they included the "Heisenberg compensator" which takes care of one of the main problems with teleportation at the moment known as the Heseinberg uncertainty princable. I'm dead tired so I can't think enough to talk anymore about this right now.

But I thought the heisenberg compentsator had to do with warp speed and how it would normally rip your body apart from displacement of matter. Not to mention that no one's come up with a feasable theory as to how the compensator might work, they've only touched on how warp speed might work.
Also I do remember that one episode of TNG where the klingons, romulans and federation are fighting over this ancient capsule that contains the origins of all species, so they did at least try to explain the whole homogony issue
