Some sci-fi is just terrestrial foreign tourism with all the annoying parts bleeped out. Like weird ATMs, yucky food and people with different and wrong ritual hygiene norms.
Notice how warp travel/time travel/hyperspace jumps seem *less* unpleasant than jet lag or seasickness?

Stargate tried incorporating an equivalent travel sickness in the first few episodes for first time travelers. I think they started ignoring it because it just got in the way of telling a story.
