Would fans be open to a more realistic Star Trek story?
I’m a lifelong nerd, plus a navy veteran. When I look at the various Star Trek series, except for enterprise, they seem pretty unrealistic to me. I definitely do enjoy Star Trek, however, I also think a lot about the little daily details and how things would play out in reality. I just don’t buy the idea of magic replicator genies with endless energy supplies that give you anything you want the moment you want it. Not only as endless energy, a fantasy, along with configuring perfect artificial items, but God forbid that people get everything they want the moment they want it. With small children that becomes a nightmare very quickly, and you can control the damage by sticking them in a playpen. With grown adults, the consequences are far more serious. People need boundaries or they lose their minds.
But back to the more realistic and practical Star Trek: the Star Trek that I envision would have a lot more of the mundane details. It would be things like when you were getting ready to be down to a planet surface, you show up that the transporter room 30 minutes early so that you can get any needed vaccines, get your eyes adjusted to the illumination of your destination, have the temperature in air pressure in the room, adjusted to prevent shock and vertigo, and to do an equipment check and a situation briefing. I also see the transporter room is having padded walls, so that anyone who is running or falling while they are transported will hit nice squishy walls. There will be medics who were actually on shift in the transporter rooms, and the transporter rooms will again have the air pressure and illumination matching the environment where the away team is. The transporter room will also be set up with a lot of recording devices and maybe some EXO comps Together needed evidence and samples and fresh testimony from away team members. The most realistic been out that I’ve ever seen in the transporter room was during the 2009 Star Trek. Quinto Spock knew he was going to an area during an active earthquake, so he squatted down Before beaming out. This way when he landed, he was in a safe posture when the ground would be moving under his feet as he materialized. The most realistic, beaming in that I ever saw actually came from one of those YouTube five minute fan videos, where an away team member had just completedan intensive mission and was coming back from a cultural ceremony. She was absolutely exhausted and instantly sat down as soon as she materialized, and the transporter duty person is giving her water to rehydrate.
So would any of my fellow fans be interested in a story with these details? Or does everybody just wanna see epic blasters and batleths?
