Watch the Corbomite Maneuver some time, and while you watch it, try to imagine how little of the character interaction in that episode would apply to TNG. Let's see: McCoy doesn't tell Kirk the ship is at Red Alert because he "doesn't jump everytime a light flashes".Kirk doesn't like having a female Yeoman because he "doesn't trust himself". Kirk and McCoy are drinking liquor during a red alert. McCoy argues with Kirk about promoting an officer too quickly.That officer then suffers a full-scale nervous breakdown ON THE BRIDGE.At which point McCoy threatens Kirk in full hearing of the entire bridge, prompting Kirk to yell at him.  Seriously, most of these things would be serious breaches of protocol on our modern warships.Cut to DS9 where they wanted non-Federation types like Kira, because if the entire crew was starfleet there would be no arguing.So one show has people MORE disfunctional than us, and the other is utopian.Seriously, the universe got rebooted already, I guess you were too busy getting high from those borg nanites to notice you'd been assimilated. And if the entire universe can be rebooted and thrive, I think a few iconic characters can make that leap too. Chuck</blockquote>
