So it's a holoprojection of the sensor readings over top of the person, like they're wearing a motion capture suit?

I always thought it was the carrier wave.The characters in universe see what we see. The machine is adding the visible effect for their benefit. Without it, transporter function and malfunctions would be invisible until it was done, and thus the whole situation would be more fraught with mystery, more jarring.
Right. Sound effects during some vanishing acts are debatable, but visually - what you see is what everyone gets.
Another words, it shouldn't have been that flabbergasting. Surprising and unexpected? Sure. But they've seen this sort of thing happen in front of their eyes countless times.
Hey! Where have I heard THAT before?A nice turnaround story for Bailey, but seriously...about 15 minutes of that episode is just us watching the crew watching the view screen.
I am disappointed that modern storytelling spends more time with characters talking about their feelings instead of staring at viewscreens. It's a great way to evoke the submarine in space vibe and I miss that.My wife and I watched The Corbomite Maneuver last night. She's been listening to Ron and Clint Howard's autobiography, and wanted to see it.

I think the parts that have also resonated with me (the ones that stand out in Star Trek) are those interpersonal ones. Balance of Terror and Kirk and McCoy's discussion prior to the attack. The acknowledgement of the loss of life, and the challenges of these different cultures and people and their values in the face of attack.Aha! We need a lot more of you.
The issue with regard to drama is balance. Too much staring at the screen or too much social drama and you lose part of your audience. I wonder if the 10 episode format means that trying to give each of the principal characters some emotional drama means that we get a fair chunk every episode as opposed to more occasionally within 26 episodes.
