Problems with Star Trek
The list so far -
1 Weekly trauma. Every 7 days the highest ranking officers on the Enterprise are subjected to terrible danger or significant stress. Those events are usually life threatening. But nobody shows signs of PTS.
2 The highest ranking officers survive every terrible event thrown at them. Only minor crew members get killed - crew members we've never seen before.
3 Every single alien the Enterprise encounters is 'humanoid' in appearance.
4 Every alien has a mouth and communicates by sound. There's never any reference to how the translation into english happens. The translation is automatic, smooth and accurate - no problems with stuff getting lost in translation or encounters with aliens who DON'T communicate via sound.
5 The technology on the ship is similiar to current technology - how come touch screens and tablets are still in use that far into the future?
6 The Klingons have figured out cloaking technology, but the rest of the Federation hasn't. After the Klingons joined the federation why didn't they share their cloaking technology with others?
7 No-one is ever shown using the holodeck for sex. In an emergency people will walk in and interrupt officers in the middle of a holodeck session - they never catch them out having virtual sex - no-one is concerned about PRIVACY.
8 Have viewers seen every part of the ship? Sometimes the main characters walk down a corridor past unknown crew members. Where are those minor characters going? What job do they perform? Example - Are they on the way to a huge 'laundry' room where uniforms are steam cleaned ?
