Right now I can get a hot cheeseburger in 90 seconds by opening a plastic pouch and popping it in a microwave.

No,it doesn't look or taste like a freshly prepared burger - but fifty years ago, it wasn't an option at all.

The notion that, given another three hundred years, the only technology that could explain getting a fresh hot sandwich from a machine in a few seconds is some kind of molecular matter transmutation is pretty silly.

isn't there a scene when kirk and spock swap meals because the machine got it all wrong and spock's greens taste like steak and vice versa? - definately no super micro-wave

"I'll take that as a 'Thank You.' "

"I don't think they have a word for 'Thank You.' "

"What did he say?"

"You don't wanna know."
 
Remember "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and the chicken soup that instantly appears from a food slot in the transporter room? Or the time Kirk tried to order a chicken sandwich in "The Trouble with Tribbles"?

They had automatic food slots on TOS. How exactly they worked was never explained.

TOS actually had a food synthesizer in the transporter room. Even the later series and DSC don't have that feature, at least that I can remember. Now that's what I call the old man in the room being the hippest person.

Unless...now wait for me here. What if that transporter room were one of several on the ship and we just never again saw that particular one being used? See? Told you the wait would be worth it.

Thank you, The Making of Star Trek! :)

forget it, kirk always says 'the transporter room' unlike picard who says 'transporter room #'
 
Kirk wasn't into numbering things. They were all his babies and he was proud of how each and every one of them scrambled his molecules and made him tingly. And that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
 
"How many times do I have to tell you? It's Chekov, not Checkov!"

And don't get me started about the time they spelled Khan "Kahn." That's the real reason he went berserk.

but kahn is a berserker - just look into his eyes :devil:

Another reason the Enterprise is the most advanced starship in the fleet. Food in the transporter room and always a technician to help you with your order.

Take THAT, spore hub drive!
