my favorite example of "we can do this extraordinary thing and we will never talk about it again":

  • starfleet can create copy of dead or lost people using transporter
  • seven is literally necromancer and can resurrect dead...

    My favorite is the repair tool from S1 PIC, the one powered by imagination. Lets just create and forget a magic wand that commoditizes the entire engineering department 🙃

    I'm going to be honest - the first season of PIC was so bad I tried to forget about pretty much everything but Laris. I am pleased to report that I successfully forgot everything about the imagination repair tool and still no longer recall it.

    I'm glad I've almost completely forgotten the first two seasons of PIC.

    I'm glad they at least tried to make a good 3rd season... but I'd still rather forget it too.

    Heck, maybe I should just start considering Picard dead since Wolf 359. ... No, no. That's taking it too far. Just need to ignore the non-canon anti-fan non-trek noise.

    • That alien transporter with a range of 40,000 light years (the spatial trajector) that just can't work on Voyager because it has an incompatible power supply
    • Infinitely fast travel at warp 10 that comes with serious, but entirely curable side-effects

    It annoyed me so much that Discovery basically wrote off all the propulsion technologies that didn't quite work in the 24th century, just so the spore drive could be special in the 32nd century.

    I have much the same gripes about Voyager making the Warp 10 speed limit a universal hard limit, rather than something that the warp drive was simply not able to achieve.

    At least Discovery's could still pulled them back out of the rug with them not having to wring every single piece of dilithium for all it's worth.

    "If you go just a bit faster than the Voyager, the universe itself breaks, and all propulsion technologies are obsoleted past the threshold" is much harder to get around without something like Q shenanigans.
