And I still see that mixed reaction to it. But, it pays lipservice to the morals and that gives it more of a pass. It also looks right, which is a bigger thing for many that I read online, the looks mean more than anything else to be "Star Trek." So, I think the look has more weight.
People have a hard time with the comedy angle. I think because Star Trek is serious business and anything less is mockery.

they have to make sense *internally* to a world of fiction. The detached nacelles are totally doable with what we know with 32th century technology and quite justifiable, the huge turbolift chasm is much less simple to justify (it could all be a huge holodeck, but why would they do that? Speaking of this, why use a turbolift system at all when they can just beam anywhere on the ship?).
I tend to enjoy more things that try to make sense.
I think this is my separation point with a number of fan opinions too. I am more frequently running in to the expectation that it all makes sense. And, I'll be honest-the more I read of the BTS Trek and the different aspects done by the production team, the less I worry about it. The unified whole theory was perpetuated by ancillary materials as much as anything else. So, when things don't fit together there isn't the same safety cushion as before.
I can still justify it even if it is silly on its face.
why would they need something like that?
Do you honestly want my own personal justification? Because I can write out a long and technical approach that pretty much only matters to me.
I mean, I've been writing or creating in some way since I was 8. My Lego ships always had justifications as to why they worked a specific way. But, as I learned and studied the workings of production the more I strike a balance-it's a work of fiction meant to entertain. The details are not always going to be to my liking.
Thanks. And again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your approach, it’s just not for me.
actually this could be very entertaining!
Simply put it is for storage and repair. The turbolift is a system designed to facilitate rapid connection across the ship for crewmembers at any point in time. A new system was set up have carts inside and ready to deploy at a moments notice, rather than waiting for a limited number of cars. This also means that more maintenance space was required to allow for fabrication, repair, and coordination. The larger space allows for easier access and material storage, rather than pulling it in from other stores.
In fairness the idea that a Mike can pick up my voice and transfer it by wire as electronic impulses and rebuilds exactly what I say in my accent half way across the world sounds like magic. And it has existed for years now
Oh, yeah, the invisible magic.
