Lost me at "Sidney and Jack". A cipher and a cliche.

If you'd kept reading you would have gotten to the age shaming. I believe she was the youngest member of the cast in the much praised Picard season 3.
Well, no. One officer beamed but we don't know the restrictions of use of transporter frequencies during an emergency. We do know one emergency transport is possible with limited power but beaming a whole cadet class might be more limited.
Securing to a bunker space would make more sense.
So, you've never trained with basic equipment as a rookie?Not buying it. It's 900 years later and they are putting their cadets at risk by not providing them with a cheap personal transporter??? That is ridiculous. Rubbish....
A personal transporter is basic equipment in the 32nd century...
Here the thing about training: you'll not be given everything you need all the time. The expectation is on you to problem solve, learn teamwork and not expect the basics always.
Which can all be safely done on the Holodeck....
Which doesn't teach a damn thing in a crisis. To quote Kirk, "It scared me to death every time. Except this time. Because it wasn't real."
There is a reason why survival training, apprentice cruises and such exist in the military. There is no substitute for real world experience.
Then put them in a "real" world setting not a war zone without available safety equipment.
Thry were not planning on going to a warzone as evidenced in the clip.Then put them in a "real" world setting not a war zone without available safety equipment.
Which can be accomplished by locking out the transporter function of the Tricom badges outside of emergency circumstances.
Needs of the plot.
Its been show to happen frequently on a ship in StarFleet. ALSO why are hologram projections allowed access to the bridge? That seems like a major security issue??
Sure.
But this is Star Trek, not a documentary. Like seatbelts and exploding consoles there's dramatic conceit. Like the time I'm Deep Space Nine were they were panicking over a stuck airlock and trying to pry it open. Boy, of only they had some magical beaming device or something to rescue those trapped people
How?Its been show to happen frequently on a ship in StarFleet. ALSO why are hologram projections allowed access to the bridge? That seems like a major security issue??
And of course it happens frequently. Watch any Star Trek episode and stuff goes wrong!
Need to be explained with in universe reasoning otherwise it can create what's known as a "plot hole".
General reminder that the episode "Babel" took place only a few days after the Stations transporters were shown to be barely operational in the pilot.Sure.

Right so why create more unnecessary plot hole creating devices to start with??
To be fair here, it's possible there's an in episode explanation for it that we're just not seeing because it's a series of stitched together clips.
Like in the Lower Decks season 2 finale where they had someone suggest warping around the obstruction and everyone went "that's a horrible idea that will get us killed for obvious in universe reasons that we won't expand on".
But enough about the transporter in TOS.
And that's not a joke save that the writers would frequently note on TOS and TNG that part of the plot of the week was "What's wrong with the transporter this time?"
And they had runabouts which probably had functional transporters unrelated to Cardassian technology.
Right. So why create MORE plot hole creating devices??
That's not what a plot hole is.
Nah. That's unappetizing filler that's of little consequence to nobody except the minutiae militia.
