Eh, still wouldn't make much sense to have vast areas of your spacecraft (where space is a premium) be loads of empty space for a bunch of rollercoaster rides just so people can go up and down a couple floors.

I'd love for someone on the Enterprise to be on a streak. If they nail this strike, it's going to put them over the top in the score and they'll win the game. They're about deliver the killer strike, then... just then... the ship shakes a little, the bowling ball pivots, doesn't even knock over a single pin, and then over it we hear...
"RED ALERT! RED ALERT! All hands to battle-stations!!!"
That's why you, me, @cooleddie74 and @Michael are on the same page. Just to different degrees.
I still don't like the brewery in the Kelvin Films either.
@marlboro take notes. I'm saying stuff about New Trek I don't like.
I genuinely think the turbolift system is just the producers having a good-natured trolling of the fans.
And I mean that sincerely. I think they knew damn well how ridiculous it was, and they were giggling their asses off watching the fx in the screening room thinking about all the wound-too-tight fans who would lose their minds.
Yup.
Not exactly. So the story goes, the "funhouse turbolift" was thought up by Kurtzman for the episode Brother, season 2 premiere which he himself did direct. The issue was, he basically decreed this through executive fiat on account of he's the guy currently in charge of the franchise without consulting at all with the show's art department, who had already come up with their own internal layout of the ship which did not take into account a massive roller coaster in the middle.
Supposedly, this was one of Kurtzman's various "canon fixing" initiatives for Disco's second season in which he felt the need to explain why the Crossfield class is double the size of a Constitution class, but only a fraction of the crew (130 for the Crossfield class, 400 for the Constitution class). So his solution was that on the Crossfield class, all the habitable areas are on the ship's perimeter, with the rest of the ship being a giant hollow space in which the rollercoaster turbolift is housed.
Then they went and completely disregarded this in the Q&A Short Trek showing the Constitution class also has a rollercoaster turbolift.
Civilian clothes in all TNG is pretty bad. Or really, in any 24th century show. Except Picard.
Well, no. We do know there are enlisted personnel who do the menial stuff. Voyager Good Shepherd for example, you had Mortimer Herron, a guy who spent his days doing really basic stuff on the ship's lowest deck. And according to that episode, he was intentionally doing stuff he was overqualified to do, B'Ellanna claimed she's tried getting him to do more heavy lifting, which he had always refused.
Except not everyone can be "elite." There's a saying where I work "someone's got to be the worst." There's always going to be someone who is a weak link. That does not necessarily mean they're completely incompetent, it just means they are not a shining star making waves everywhere they go. For some people, being in Starfleet is just a job. A good majority of Starfleet personnel we see seem to be career officers, they join Starfleet with the intent of someday making Admiral or something. Really, the junior officer ranks should be filled with people who have career ambitions outside of Starfleet, and are just serving in Starfleet as a stepping stone towards whatever it is they want to move onto next in their life. The idea that everyone who becomes an officer wants to someday become a Captain or Admiral just isn't realistic.
Besides, if Starfleet officers are the Federation's pinnacle of perfection, and they attain higher rank as representation of how they are the best of the best of the best, then it paints a pretty bad picture that so many evil people become Starfleet Admirals.
Meh, welcome to 2020.That means the apocalypse is right around the corner!
What do you call the person that graduated bottom of their class in med school?
Doctor.
The giant brewery engine room sucks. End of story.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to enjoy a beer.

Literally not possible, since the director of it's first appearance was Trek overlord Alex Kurtzman himself.
The rumor was that the art department didn't know, but then who would have built the CG? Or concepted it?? Reeks of the usual "Kurtzman fired" bollocks.
I loved it
"Someone who still had to get no less than the equivalent of a B+, but that's stupid because Med Schools are Pass/Fail/Honors. Not "person who studied hard"/"person who sort of slacked through"/"person who smoked weed the entire time but still managed to get through with a 1.0 GPA." there is no "bottom of the class" in Med School."
It was a joke...I do that.
If Bashir finished second in his class, that means they were ranked, and someone finished at the bottom.
"Bottom" would still likely mean "got no less than a B+."
And so did I. Pipes and vats. The problem is?????I loved it
I'm surprised someone actually put that much thought into it. I liked most of the stuff they did in season 2, especially the changes to Klingons, but this was just ridiculous. I just find it hard to believe you could even fit all of what we saw with the turbolifts in the ship.
I thought it most of the civilian clothes in DS9 and Voyager was pretty good. Except for the characters who they seemed to purposefully put in strange clothes, like Neelix.
Somewhere in the world is the worst doctor, and someone has an appointment with them in the morning.
I forgot about that. And this was a show who had two Air Force chiefs on it, and was commended for how well it portrayed the Air Force.
I wish I could unsee it …
One of the dumbest things I’ve seen in fifty years of Star Trek.
