Nothing can displace my Voyager hatred. Nothing.
I only ever watched the pilot of “Voyager”, yet I believe I acquired as much hatred as if I’d watched the whole series.
The premise sounded promising – get a Starfleet ship to the other side of the Galaxy, cut off from support, having to survive on its own. No more humanoid aliens that look like humans with a lot of makeup on their heads! Now they could get really creative.
So what did we get? In the pilot, we got – humanoid aliens, looking like humans with a lot of makeup on their heads, and in fact quite reminiscent of Klingons.
What??? We got the weird three-year-old chick with funky ears.
And Neelix.
I’m gay, but it was still a huge relief when we got the Borg chick with ginormous knockers and an obsucre McDonald’s Happy Meal toy stuck to her face.
I envy the hours you have saved and weep for the ones I have wasted.
Old Supes joke.
Wonder Woman: What the hell was that?
The Invisible Man: I dunno but my ass suddenly hurts.
So the RIAA won in the end …
Why not have some sort of an algorithm that would not only recreate the Doctor multiple times, but would add a bit of a random change in his personality, so that you can have a whole new crew never mind lots of Doctors.
For that matter, why bother with a crew at all, shouldn’t computers be running all this crap. In the TNG episode Booby Trap they actually say they wouldn’t trust the computer to pilot them out of an asteroid field. Sure, let’s have the Captain do it, have him fly a super tanker like it’s a dinghy through an asteroid field, pulling stunts and not telling the crew what he’s doing.
Sure, but the “bad guy” decided to reroute the Nexus into a planet and go through all this effort when he should have just been able to rent a ship and drive it into the Nexus.
Maybe he was evil enough to wipe out a planet, but not evil enough to renege on a security deposit?

That was the biggest plot hole in that film. They attempted to explain it away by saying “Any ship that has gone into the nexus has been destroyed or badly damaged”. Well, so what? The people in those ships end up in the nexus so what does it matter? And the bad guy would have known that as he was originally in one of them!
And there’s my biggest continuing problem with ‘Trek’.
You have transporters and replicators. There is no such thing as a “unique device” that they can’t create more of.
-Joe
Oh yes, the whole “this material is non-replicable” rubrik. Why have such a hyper-advanced technology at all if you’re just going to nerf it’s actual application in the show?
Because there’s nothing you can’t do with it. It’s like the whole transporters/weapons deal. Can’t get through the shields with a transporter? Okay, just keep transporting antimatter bombs into their shields until they crack. Then start in on the enemy ship.
Or even better when you’ve got sillier crap like the Borg not blocking transport onto their ships, and then NOT beaming over bomb after bomb. You know the sad thing? All it would take is one “Captain, the antimatter has successfully transported next to the Borg’s reactor core, but for some reason isn’t detonating. I believe that a [technobabble] field is preventing the antimatter from interfacing with regular matter.” But no, the only apparent solution is that Starfleet is made up of retards.
-Joe
Well, for the Borg the solution would be that attacks tend to work on them once, then they adapt. so the second time you tried beaming a bomb on board it would be blocked.
As for other ships; it’s not canon, but as I recall one Star Trek novel had a nice solution as to why they don’t do that; when you try transmitting it through the shield, some is bounced back and rematerializes inside your own ship, which is a Bad Thing. It would be nice if they came up with a canon explanation like that.
It’s purpose was to enable the Doctor to move off the ship, but to be vulnerable.
Latinum is valuable because it is non-replicable.
Not to mention the endless DS9 references to “waste extraction.”
You are not of the body.
I am right behind you, baby!
Yeah, where it’s safe. 
Two Hundred Quatloos on the newcomer!
The problem is that the Borg don’t acually adapt. Unless I am to believe that in all of hisory no one attemped, for example, to hit them with a sharp pointy thing (which goes right through their shields. In fact, apparently any matter works just fine against them. And simple physical force is not blockable by their magic-shields. I thought of a ST gag episode involving a couple thousand Swiss Pikemen plus equal numbers of arqebusiers wiping out the Borg with a magical space-sailing galleon firing cannon.
Likewise, if throughout their entire history they have no yet learned that “not letting people beam stuff aboard your ships at will”, then they’re too bloody stupid to be allowed to live.
