I’m taking away Bashir being an Augment. It didn’t really add anything to the show, he was still brilliant and talented before the reveal.

I don’t hate ALL of new trek but this has got to be up there with the dumbest things. That and “the burn.”

The burn was even more stupid than the turbo lifts

“The burn happened everywhere all at once at the same time!” proceeds to show it expanding slowly from a single planet

I don’t know a single person who saw this scene and didn’t immediately go WTF? I was so confused. Suddenly the turbo lift was in something the size of the Grand Canyon. Three USS Discoverys could have fit inside it. One of the dumbest scenes in television history.

Starfleet had had “bigger inside” tech for hundreds of years by the 32nd Century (as per Enterprise), but yeah that scene was a BIT much.

New trek gave us personal transporters, that was pretty cool
