We’ve seen it many, many times: the ship gets into a firefight, takes a few hits, shakes around, and consoles explode (possibly taking an unfortunate ensign with them). Eventually the battle is resolved with our heroes largely intact if somewhat shaken up. If it was a particularly nasty battle, there will be signs of damage: scorches on the walls, deformed equipment, busted lights, and rocks scattered about.
All of that seems reasonable… except the rocks, which look pretty out of place in a spiffy 24th century starship. So why are they there?
Ah I understand now, this is the taking Star Trek as seriously as if it were real life community. Sorry, I’ll un-subscribe because I love the show but can’t manage that level of suspension of disbelief.
Close, but not exactly. While this community is for in-depth discussion of Star Trek, we don’t expect-- and in fact generally discourage-- answering from an in-universe perspective.
