All flavors of Star Trek suck in comparison. Besides, I actually see REAL space travel working more in the vein of the TARDIS over badly engineered designs that only Science Fiction Writers would favor over the principles of Engineering. The first time a ship like the Enterprise went full power the Nacelles would shear off leaving the rest of the ship behind. The engines needed to be better secured than by two relatively small contact points! The TARDIS being made to be partially in another dimension means that there is no limit to the internal space in a box the size of a large Phone Booth. Instead of trying to slip into a type of Hyperspace (warp field) the TARDIS slips out of our dimension and back covering insane distances in much, much shorter time.
