We paid for one set and we're damned well going to use it!
To be fair, they also had that random storage room set. Could have included a barrel attacking Worf in that same scene. Efficient!
When you said storage room I immediately had the mental image of a barrel falling on worf on my mind. Did it happen that often?
Passive suicidal ideation.
Talk about testing in production...
Move fast and break things
Hey if your measurements are wrong at least you won't have to apologise
Maybe Star Trek episodes are used as Space OSHA videos of what not to do?
The instructor would pause the video at this point and ask the class what they were doing wrong.
When the captain picks his away team, pause video, who should have been picked instead? What should they be wearing?
And of course TOS would be used for the sexual harassment / space STD training as well.
Galaxy Quest type deal but instead of believing it, Gene sold it to CBS and the creation is actually a conspiracy?
I fuck with it.
Wasn't it because that's where they could get the most power to the equipment, and also where they have the strongest shielding?
It's the same room they tested the completely unknown device from DS9, which did malfunction and happened to shoot out a beam of energy out of one end. Instead of going into the core it shot out the other side and gave a crewmate the ability to dream. Which they proceeded to do the same thing again but for longer.
Well yeah. You gotta keep all the explosions to a single room.
Also, wasn't Geordi brainwashed by the Romulans at the time?
If tech happens, they can try to tech the tech to the tech. Or eject the warp core.
Remember to vent the radiation
Warp core has shield around it (multiple, I think), while I disagree with testing it in main engineering, it's still probably fine.
The humans being out in the open though?
Warp core can have shielding around it but typically doesn't. There have been threats in the past from people firing at the warp core. A containment field can be raised (and iirc there was one raised in this scene) but it's not always on. Would no need to be in an area as critical as main engineering. Only people with access to the area are people who wouldn't typically fuck with it. Having a continuous forcefield would be a drain on ship energy systems and might even impact crew morale to an extent.
Morale??? You bet my ass is feeling safer if there is a extra safety net around a miniature SUN next to my head!!! 🤣🤣
