    Who else is thinking of that one scene near the start of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country?

      I assume that the Federation has better space OSHA regulations that mandate more reliable artificial gravity than the Klingons.

      Or Star Trek: First Contact, when Picard, Worf, and redshirt Neil McDonough test out their zero G combat training, further cementing the fact that Star Trek only remembers that space has no gravity when it’s relevant to the plot.

        They do throw things out the airlock an awful lot. Though, somehow, Borg don’t have the strength to stop it but Beverly Crusher does.

            My wife abused star trek of being a soap opera at some point. At first I thought, maybe she’s just showing up at the worst possible time?

            No. It’s all of the time. Every episode has some weird soapy bullshit. Beverly fucking a ghost, LaForge fucking a hologram, Riker fucking anything with genitals INCLUDING a hologram. Everybody be fuckin. That’s not even the soapiest thing. Voyager is basically Soaps in space.

            I love classic trek, but guys I think it’s a soap opera.
