Jeyl fair enough.
Here's another one. Why do all star ship designers build their consoles out of the most explosive stuff they can find?
One of the things that grind my gears. It's the early 21st century and we have fuses. Don't know when exactly they were invented but I'd assume early 20th century.
And they don't use anything like this in the Star Fleet starships ? In fact, they don't even try to fix it, they just accept it. Direct hit, shields down to 20% and boom! another crew man got the Freddy Kruger face. And they just accept it and assign nameless crewman after crewman to potential death duty. Throughout the entire series ! That's simply barbaric.
Another thing is the security personal. Probably the most useless bunch on the ship but not useless enough for bridge console duty it appears. You'd assume them to have at least basic training for such scenarios like "close quarter combat on a star ship". But in the episode with the 2 klingons breaking havoc on the enterprise with their hidden disruptor pistol it appears the best tactics the security personal has is to crouch in the middle of the corridor. Who needs cover, I'm starfleeaaaagh ...
Last but not least: The food. Noone eats pizza or a steak or drink orange juice. Everyone consumes fancy alien food and drinks like klingon coffee, romulan ale, andorian backed space-beans, talaxian vomit-stew. I mean, there's people on earth who can't eat certain earth food because of allergies and the future-folks can simply eat anything from every planet in the galaxy ?
On a new tv series: Contemporary, successful TV series are far away from TNG. Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead. They're dark, they're gritty, strong character development, mature topics. I want to see a series like this set in the Klingon Empire facing a new civil war. Star Trek has designed this race of brutal, fearless warriors with their strong honor codex, the high council as government, rich lore and religion like Khaless etc. and even developed a new language and they simply don't use all this. I'm not saying no more starfleet, just try to give viewers something new instead of the new lousy starship that feels like somehting you've already seen 4 times.
