"Naked Star Trek", eh?

Well it sure would've made Voyager and Enterprise a lot more fun to watch. :wink:

A lack of any sort of field uniform for anything from simple unpleasant weather to potential toxins.

Actually, to their credit, it seems like ENT may have been the best at that. The decon chamber was cringe inducing though.

ENT and the TOS movies are probably right up there. Though I wonder why the desert wear appears to be thermal underwear, quantum fabric most likely.

LOL!

I mean everything outside of the movie ones. But even Star Trek II onwards those weren't great. They were okay for formal uniforms. Not too good for normal uniforms.

And ENT uniforms would not be Starfleet ;)
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Well it was called Starfleet, and it looked like it had institutional continuity with the Federation version.

1) The "Oh by the way, someone just stole a shuttle" security system
2) GCS warp core (Didn't it breach when the ensign spilled hot chocolate on Picard?)
3) Requiring Deanna Troi to be clothed

They shouldn't have used that crazy gray jumpsuit thing - she looked better in the skirt and boots uniform from the pilot, and in the regular uniform in the later seasons.

How about letting a 14 year old boy drive a fu@king starship? :)

That's about the worse picture of her around isn't it?

Here's one OOU bad idea:

Killing off Tucker and never having Tuck and T'Pol get married.
