Science Fiction

I mean… he didn’t even get on about the lack of seat belts.

Federation space ships are in fact horribly designed. - thruster placement is off balance with CoG requiring constant control inputs to go in a straight line.

• seatbelts.
• surge protection.
• replicator technology exists, yet they don’t design ships capable of being repaired with self created parts. (Even if they have to build the replicator large enough first….)
• replicators take energy and convert it to matter- or matter into energy. Yet they don’t design ships to use this as fuel.
• they send ships that are expected to go into battle- and carry children and civilians on board-but this ships are also able to go toe to toe with their equivalents from hostile races 1v2-3. But then insist they’re not warships.
• insist on not having a unit of exchange or currency, but then some how having massive amounts of trade and economy.
• their ships waste a shit load of internal volume with the saucer, the neck and the nacelles.

I had to reset my expectations after they dropped off that space slug on another planet cause it wasn’t doing well. Like what’s your mission to explore the gallery and spread invasive species??

Handrails slicing off fingers is why the Star Wars universe doesn't have railings at all.

The gap was pretty big. No way fingers were getting sliced off. Trip was being overly dramatic.

Still not a great design, but Trip being the chief engineer, he could have ordered it changed AT ANY TIME, but never did. He just complained like an annoying pregnant woman, which was the intention of the scene.

That bothered me too. Any rational group of engineers with space laser tools would have fixed that immediately.

The Enterprise crew is a bunch or warlike cowboys hopping at random and breaking things everywhere.

The series actually acknowledges that. Several times.

What I really like is the soothing and cheerful opening theme, that tends to play just after some 2% of Earth is destroyed, or somebody decides to kill half of the galaxy.

I've seen similar problems on actual escalators. It might not slice your fingers off, but if your arm was stretched out it would snap your arm off at least. But then again I have a phobia of elevators and escalators so it is particularly apparently to me. I blame that Resident Evil movie when the person got their head cut off trying to exit a stalled elevator.

What always bugged me in Voyager was that the Doctor didnt get any story lines really exploring what he is. After he got his mobile emitter from the future, he basically was a near immortal AI made of light. He could still be around doing snarky remarks during the heat death of the universe. What a waste of story potential.

I'm bugged by decontamination gel.

Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn't Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What's in it?

This put me on Reed Alert.

The one that irrationally bugged me was when Tripp told the captain that he lowered the chair by 1cm, and the chair was still too high for everyone who sat there.. I know it's not supposed to be noticable but I could tell somehow that it wasn't lowered at all

Someone probably noticed it after the set was already built, complained, and it was a thing on set.

Call UFP OSHA!

Ya that was an odd moment, sfdebris called it out too. I think I was just too annoyed by the silliness of the premise to really realize it one way or another.

Either way, I find the meta bigger picture just as interesting. Actors act, directors direct, to indeed portray something as X. In this case Tripp was painted as the weird one, but honestly, we as viewers should be able to make our own judgement on the situation without having to go against the story or against the suspension of disbelief.
