yeah in nemesis, which is the worst star trek movie, riker is like, computer, activate the manual steering column and this stupid logitech joystick rises out of a hutch. this doesn't happen on star trek again



the borg queen was this character they created for first contact which doesn't make any sense, the borg are supposed to be like perfect single-brained communist guys and then you have this bitch struttin around showing off her tits who is somehow the boss of a people whose point is they are their own boss, because they wanted sex appeal, it was terrrrible but i guess they brought her back in voyager despite the fact they killed her sooooooooo



back in the original series with kirk the warp scale was different so like, they went to warp 22 and poo poo when in the new scale warp 10 is infinitely fast, the asymptote of the warp curve if that makes sense



in ds9 for one episode everyone gets a holocommunicator on their bridges. it takes up like a whole stations worth of real estate on there and has a stupid glowing floor ring that lights up so when you chat they look like they're in the same room as you. it was real bad



ambo jitsu is this borderline racist, massively stupid martial art that riker and his dad do. you fight with giant cotton buds, blind. for some reason it never makes a comeback



in original series there used to be a bunch of different dudes, like a new one each episode, in charge of engineering, and no-one really had much of a part at all. shimoda was the best one because he got drunk but they were all very temporary



geordie gets the computer to create a sentient hologram based off of moriaty from sherlock holmes because of a bet. it doesn't go well



for like one episode the klingon worf was dating councillor troi. it wasn't a good fit, esp because she was riker's ex, but also because worf is kind of a fuckman



data gets an emotion chip from his dad that would help him feel emotions. he decides he's not ready to feel emotions, because that would completely destroy the point of his character, which is pinocchio



in like the first episode of voyager, tom says, "it's the Voyager!" which sounds totally wrong despite the fact that "the Enterprise" is totally fine



in that same first episode voyager gets lost in the delta quadrant so in the point of the show's continuity they never really see it again, it takes some weird time travel poo poo that was terrible to bring them home, and the whole show has just awful writing so its more like wishful thinking

when the ferengi were introduced in tng they were kind of lovely rat people that danced around like some stupid school play and had whips that they whipped at people to laser them rather than a gun. it was all really stupid and while the whips don't really show themselves again they wouldn't become unstupid until ds9



cardassian soldiers used to have weird head gear when they were first introduced. they were very terrible and unnecessary, they have a lot of poo poo going on already to make em look alien
