     Star Trek, even in the good old days, never mde a whole lot 
of sense if one analized it to closely. For example, the episode where
Kirk had a double and Sulu and the landing party were freezing because
of a transporter malfunction. The whole episode (from a technology point
of view) centered on getting the transporter repaired to beam up Sulu and
company. Why, oh Why didnt they send down a shuttle-craft to pick them up?
Simple solution, no. Why then did the episode work, and become one of the
more popular ?   No one cared about the transporter, or Sulu , for that matter.
Everyone was wrapped up in the DRAMA of Kirk's inner (outer?) struggle with
his double. Don't take this * GREAT * show, and turn it into Battlestar
Galactica, or an equally inane SCI-FI. This show had (has) class !
