Unless you have an active imagination. For all of Star Trek's diversity, we have yet to see an openly gay character on the franchise. Or am I missing something?<ul></ul> Gepeto: Actually, it’s not.

Why on earth don't they have mini-cams so that the bridge crew can actually watch what is happening? Don't even get me started on how the security/medic teams always seem to be strolling along to the emergency rather than running hell for leather or even beaming directly to the area... I could easily spend a few day punching holes in star trek but I still love it :-)<ul></ul> What always does my head in is that whenever theyhave an away mission (all star trek series) for some reason they can only communicate by voice!

Whenever they find a new planet the captain or second in command takes the entire crew running the freakin ship dangerous or not down to the surface. I mean they would have strike teams, medical teams on stand by. I mean guys with alot of red shirts on. And what really gets me is how good man turns out. How money isn't an issue anymore. I want to know how they got through our giant corporations or owners however you want to put it. Thats the star trek history I want to know.<ul></ul> You forgot the most blaring bullshit.

The Bridge and Engineering people really take a beating. Wish they'd solve that, or at least minimize it.<ul></ul> Konijn: Good call. The Bridge and Engineering people really take a beating.

You would think they would have some sort of failsafe to prevent consoles from catching people on fire every time the ship was hit because it's killed countless people throughout all series.<ul></ul> What always bothered me was the constant sparks and the fact that the bridge looked like a tornado went through it after a few phaser blasts.

She's my biggest Star Trek crush. I might just take you up on that idea and write an entire article about her. It's a miracle that Scout wasn't annoyed every time I was "rewriting" B'Elanna's scenes with Seven to include a lesbian subtext.<ul></ul> I love B’Elanna Torres. She’s my biggest Star Trek crush.

She is amazing, her strength, her courage, her sometimes snippiness. Her love hate relationship with 7 of 9.
