Random Trek "Problems" That Bug You (and that you can't let go!)

Please no scary

Come on. Scary Trek would be great.

It worked well with Doctor Who.

There's no indication that the Borg are limited in how far back they can travel through time, therefore there's nothing to indicate that they could not have gone back that far. Assuming they were somehow limited, even going back a hundred years earlier would have been far more sensible than going back to stop the formation of the Federation by targeting first contact. It's a stupid premise in a stupid movie, regardless of how much you want to rationalize it.

The original story outline for the movie had the time travel being back to medieval times until Braga and Moore realized that made no sense as there was nothing intrinsic to that time period that had any significance to Trek lore.

That's when I turned Who off.

Hospitals are currently trying to figure out what's so special about natural sunlight. This research got super charged with COVID as they found that rolling patients outside and exposing them to natural sunlight made them get better faster. They're still trying to figure out why because it was something more than vitamin D.

UV light can act as a disinfectant. A guy tried to make that point once and was subsequently mocked over it for the rest of his life.

I'm with you. The Trek of the 90's always seemed to be celebrating equality among people of both sexes, all races, and even levels of ability. Some Kurtzman shows felt more like an apology than a celebration.

That was... obscure.
