No Back To The Future? Baww

I just want to find out what this Super Switch that’s ostensibly coming out next year is all about

See, that’s a logical and reasonable explanation and LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch ought to take lessons from you.

Nah, it is not “fucking stupid”

Ehh. I’m still not quite sold on that point, but I accept your explanations for the others.

That’s just a weak-ass cop-out and you and I know it.

Why even have plots if they have magic machines that can make any problem go away with arbitrary explanations of how they work that are neither consistent or logical within the rules of its universe?

It’s stupid. And I can bet you’re just going to respond “Well, I like it anyway so I don’t care” in which case why even bother responding?

How the fuck is that even possible even by technobabble standards?

How would they differentiate a weapon from life-savin medical equipment, and why wouldn’t some evil villain capitalize on that fact?

Or just make the crew beam down on some planet for some meeting and nuke the meeting place?

Or just pack a ship full of antimatter and ram it into the Enterprise?

The whole way war is done in Star Trek is so fucking stupid 🤦

🤔 So like, what would stop some diplomat from just bringing a suitcase nuke with them when getting beamed on board, and setting it off?
