    And, of course, #TNG S6E7 is one of a few of the episodes that are so fundamental to the whole story line and universe, yet so totally ignored by next episode. There are a few...

    - The reason all aliens look human is revealed. S6E20

    - When transporters can copy someone (Thomas Riker). S6E24

    - And this one - when transporters can make someone young again. S6E7

    These would destroy a lot of the whole universe / concept if explored.

    @revk Season 2, Episode 7 - the transporter can cure basically all illness by filtering out pathogens and reversing genetic damage (coincidentally by curing Dr. Pulaski or rapid aging).

    @revk Fortunately the immutable natural laws of PLOT and TECHNOBABBLE assure the universe doesn't collapse into a singularity.



    ...alas, even the laws of the universe can't protect us from #StarTrek's IP owners and their shortsighted poor decisions.

    @revk I always struggled with the transporters, conceptually. Probably not the first time I post about it here, but to me, they are killing the original person and creating a clone. I wish this was covered in an episode properly. :)
