   Well, how about all those episodes where you see an external view of
the Enterprise when the phasers or photon torpedoes are fired and you can
hear "TSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHS" for the phasers and "PTOING! PTOING! PTOING!"
for the torpedoes?  Also, I lost count of how many episodes I've seen where
there is that classic shot of the Enterprise coming at the viewer at cruising
speed to "pass" by on the viewer's right.  You know which shot I mean, right?
Anyway, what does the Enterprise do on its way by?  It unmistakably *RUMBLES*
by.  Kinda reminds me of a slow-moving freight train...
