I mean it's not like Trek right now is great and might be hosed up. Beyond was all right but you have to go back to First Contact for another one worth watching. The worst that can happen is it's another bad movie in a series that has several.

The use of the transporter is Star Trek is often insanely reckless.

Like tons of times they'll beam over to a damaged or ancient ship without wearing space suits even though the atmosphere could fail at any moment.

In an episode of voyager I watched recently they beamed to a mining ship that they knew was full of toxic gas in some places that could flood everything at any time and no one wore a space suit :psyduck: and of course someone got horribly injured from exposure to toxic gas I forget who.

OBVIOUSLY, they use the life support belts from the animated series, the technology now being so commonplace they don't even mention it!

Come to think of it, I'm not sure space suits ever show up in DS9 or VOY either.

There's an episode of Voyager where Paris and Torres spend the entire episode hanging in empty space in spacesuits after their shuttle blows up.

Oh yeah, there's also that episode of Voyager where Paris and Kim go to the "Demon" planet in space suits. As I recall, they somehow survived several hours on the planet after running out of oxygen, passing out, and being exposed to the planet's toxic atmosphere. And I'm talking about the real Paris and Kim, not their liquid-metal duplicates in that episode.

In the old TNG tech manual, Rick Sternbach discussed a few times that in the first few years show worked under the principle of "if a set or prop isn't required for an episode, it will not be built, even if it would be important to the crew in-universe." TNG might have gone without an Engineering or shuttlecraft set if they hadn't been explicitly written into the show for "Encounter at Farpoint" and "Coming of Age" respectively. This is the main reason why we never saw EVA suits or lifeboats in TNG.

As for why the crew never seem to use EVA suits in situations where hazard protection and a portable air supply would actually be useful, I suppose it's a combination of the main actors not wanting to wear uncomfortable, bulky suits for a long shoot and a desire to see the actors on the screen without their faces and silhouettes being masked by a suit.

Patrick Stewart has said he would absolutely be involved in Tarantino's Trek if asked:

“People are always saying to me, ‘Will you be Jean-Luc Picard again?’ And I cannot think that would be possible, but there are ways in which something like that might come about. But one of my dreams is to work with Tarantino. I admire his work so much, and to be in a Tarantino film would give me so much satisfaction. So, if he is going to direct something to do with Star Trek and there was the possibility of dear old Jean-Luc showing up again and doing that for Mr Tarantino, I would embrace it.
The one thing that characterizes all of his movies is that frame by frame, it always challenges, always demands your attention, always demands a very kind of open and generous response to what he does. I also love his sense of humor as a filmmaker. So yes, he would be my first choice.”

TNG also got its new fancy shuttlecraft because it came from The Final Frontier's budget.

I don't think that an R rated Star Trek is a bad idea or unworkable, but a Tarantino movie may not be the best fit. I don't know how his style and type would fit into the universe. Star Wars perhaps, because the criminal underworld is well defined and central to certain aspects of the universe.

If it's Tarantino, it's gonna be a remake of that TNG episode with the wormhole. Only difference is Lloyd Brawn's foot massage of Troi is 76% of the runtime.

Literally the only thing that interests me about a potential Tarantino Trek is the possibility of Morricone doing the score.

DS9 only started using the grey uniforms after First Contact had them made, Voyager only started using the EVA suits after first contact, same with the phaser rifles, and DS9 didn't use those white-shouldered dress uniforms until after Insurrection.

It's usually too expensive to make a new one-off uniform type like that, so it's left to the big movies to make new stuff and the shows to adopt them.

Yeah. I don't see why it'd have to be a crime movie but you could easily do a Tarantino criminal Star Trek movie if you just put it outside the Federation. We already saw the edges of that world in DS9.

Inglorious bastards but scalpin' spoon heads would work, but it wouldn't ever happen because who knows what a Bajoran is? That's some DS9 poo poo. But the federation wasn't involved in the resistance, so no kirk, no picard, no enterprise, no studio support.
