I also struggle with roller coaster turbo-lifts, the red angel suit, time-crystals et.al
What makes those more implausible than other Trek tech? Or is it more how it is presented in the show?

The one that agree with is the turbolift but I don't that crap seriously.
 
Yes, the roller-coaster turbolifts are an obscenity. On that everyone can agree.
Nope, not everyone. I can live with those scenes and headcanonize the empty spaces as room for mission specific modules, like the Ent-D had according to the tech manual. And if they made the ship look too big inside, then gotta remember that turbolift scenes in all Trek series took way too long in relation to distances supposedly traveled. :p
 
I love them. I also love Bill & Ted travelling through time in their phone booth.

I can't say I'm upset about them or that I have a problem with them, because that would be a lie.
 
I like both CBS / Paramount / Viacom "Trek" and NBC / Desilu / and later acquired by CBS Paramount "Trek."
 
Disco can be mostly empty, and the Enterprise can be before the refit that doubles its crew ;)
If I had the time and motivation, I'd model the Discovery in 3D with the rooms and corridors we see all being around the exterior windows and see just how much interior space we'd have in Hollow Discovery.
 
Ok, so I was right about Spiner already. Who's really next? Is Spock Prime still alive? They wouldn't dare CGI Nimoy. Quinto with aging CG? Gonna roll the dice and say Quark. They already shouted him out. How about a 300-year-old T'Pau? "Roykah!"

Spock Prime went to the Kelvinverse.

It was a cool visual. I couldn't care about wether or not it fits in a fictional ship set in a fictional future.

And CBS Trek is a silly term.
 
Someone I was talking to the other day started calling Star Trek from 1966 to 2005 "Legacy Trek". In the same vain, maybe it makes sense to start calling Star Trek in the current era "Streaming Trek". That works as a good way to tell the two apart.

NuTrek is still NuTrek and on "hiatus".

If doing that makes people happy, by all means. To me, it's all Star Trek.

Normally I'm not a fan of Billy Joel but, in this case, I think this song of his fits. ;)
