That happens a lot!  In the "Star Wars" prequels
there are The Sith, and in "Star Trek" there's
"The Preservers", aliens who amused themselves
by transplanting people and cultures from Earth
onto other planets - which is why, as I'm told
one British viewer pointed out, the Starship
Enterprise goes "where no man has gone before"
but finds some other people are already there.

Well let's face it - who would watch Star Trek if they knew each
episode would involve James T Kirk getting it on with "women" with 8
arms and legs? Or for that matter with a partner not "reasonably hawt"

Do you REALLY want to see Kirk getting it on with a Horta?

Angry Young Spaceman's title character decides to get it on
with a fetching alien... after which they have to spend some
time working out how to accomplish that, as they are not
anatomically compatable.

Still luckier than the Chandler character who discovered the
hard way his girlfriend was composed of antimatter.
