Should've gave it some sci-fi name, like tricorder? like Plasma lamp? lolI love how in the future flashlight becomes palm beacon
Little things in Trek that just bug you...
- Thread starter Captain Killy
- Start date
I assume your question has something to do with the prequel trilogy that was so abominably boring that I literally couldn't stay awake for any part of it longer than a few minutes?
Actually Star Trek is in an alternate universe which branched off from our universe long before the first episodes were made, due to some writers being careless or ignorant and writing historical allusions that are inaccurate in our universe but which have to be accurate in the.Star Trek universe.
Of course there may be 400,000,000,000 stars in our galaxy, so if the UFP rules one percent of the galaxy, that would be 4,000,000,000 stars. If the 150 full members each rule 1,000 extra stars that totals only 150,000 stars, a tiny fraction of the 4,000,000,000 stars in Federation space if it rules a mere one percent of the galaxy. 4,000,000,000 stars in one percent of the galaxy would be 26,666.66 times the 150,000 stars ruled by the 150 members.

I embrace the explanation that the "Kessel run" usually involves a circuitous route, perhaps to avoid Imperial patrols, but the Falcon's speed allowed a shorter route.
Captain Solo's statement was correct.
Since we're never told what the Kessel Run actually is, your reasoning makes no sense.
Another thing that bugs me is the absurded small away teams, particularly on DS9* when they are using the runabouts, which canonically support a flight crew of 4 and can accommodate up to 40 passengers, and yet even when going into a combat situation they use only a handful of cast members (best example being in the The Maquis when they deploy three runabouts with only four Starfleet officers (including at least one non-bridge officer), one Bajoran Militia officer and a Cardassian observer?) and a similar situation in The Search when Kira, Dax, Bashir, O'Brien and Odo take two runabouts into a combat mission.
*ENT bothers me the least, except were the small group contains only the officers (particularly if at least one of Archer, T'Pol and Trip don't say on Enterprise).

One of the advantages of having a supervisor who is blind - it's super easy to skip out early for break.
Yeah? Try pulling that shit on Master Po!
Space is unimaginably vast, but even in the Star Trek universe, 99.999 and so on% of stars probably don't have goldilocks zones inhabited by native species, so only 150 polities forming out of 4 billion stars seems plausible enough to me. Maybe I haven't put enough thought into it, or how it jibes with the Drake equation or whatever.
Most of the stars wouldn't be claimed by anybody, but might fall within Federation borders.
How about every time something of note or importance happens, all (or most) the key personnel are on coincidentally on the Bridge?
Or nobody ever has to go to the bathroom while on duty.
Picard: "Red alert! Shileds up!"
Riker: "I'm about to shit my pants -- can't wait!"
("The Orville" should do a parody like that!)
I imagine many people in the front of actual wars shitted their pants during combat, fear of death has that effect on most people, they kept fighting though... those who didn't, are no longer with us.
Or get hungry as well. You would think you would have people snacking on chips while on duty or drinking a soda. Which was I know some jokes on Orville.
Another thing that is from DS9 was the promenade being shut down at night. Why would they do this? The station is basically a city and sometimes people will need to go get things at all times of the day. Wouldn't someone working the night shift for example might want to go to the Replimat. Also Quark must have the only bar ever that is open during the day and closed at night. I am thinking alot of people getting off duty or work, might like to go get a drink or maybe go use a holosuite. Also did Bashir close down the med lab at night as well? I know real doctor offices do that but I would think Starfleet would be different and is their a ER room equvilent for people who get sick or hurt during the wrong time of the day?

IIRC, the bridge of the Enterprise-D had a food replicator.
I don't get why there is a difference between replicated food and the non-replicated one. The replicator is supposed to reproduce something at a MOLECULAR level. It should be identical. Only a certain form of snobbism would make people say that it tastes different.
If canned food tastes differently it is because IT IS different. If frozen food tastes different it because it is DEMONSTRABLY different!
Saying that replicated food is different amounts to superstition!.

^ On DS9 the replicated food had a Cardassian aftertaste lol
