Same goes for the transporter. In theory, every time there was a real problem for the away team, all they should have had to do was ābeam them up.ā
In practice of the show, the transporter seemed to break down every other episode, based on the ground situation.
Letās not forget the holodeck, which was guaranteed to break in some way that either meant it couldnāt be shut down, the people inside couldnāt escape, or that the āsafety protocolsā would go offline to put the occupants in mortal danger.
