Star Trek nitpicks.

Oh, and while I'm on the subject... a few nitpicks about some of the episodes. In most cases, I just follow the MST3K Mantra, but these are the cases where fridge logic hit like a ton of bricks and couldn't be ignored.

Just three for now, but I may update this later as I watch more:

If memory serves, Spock and other Vulcans are only tactile-empathic. They have to touch someone to read their vibes. (Of course, big, big stuff like an all-Vulcan starship getting blown up can be an exception, I suppose.)

For the rest, I would suggest the MST3K mantra.

The whole "the only other man in the universe who can do this, just happens to be here too" is one of the most annoying things that seems to pervade Star Trek. The prequel comics for ST11 suffered heavily from that, in that Spock's little spaceship just happened to be designed and built by LaForge, also Worf, Data, and Picard all happen to show up in the same place. Really? Out of the trillions of sentient lifeforms in the universe, the same half dozen people seem to constantly be at the center of events. It's forgivable for fanfiction, because people want to write using the established heroes, but this kind of unimaginative writing and name dropping just annoys me.
