I'm really glad you ennumerated the rank stupidiities, and they are indeed doozies. It's a wonder to even me that the nature of Star Trek, as I see it, has allowed for similar and worse stupidities through its long history ... and coupling them with interesting ideas and clever treatments with some regularity.
Reading the list, I can barely believe I was bugged by little or none of it, and that I consider such blatant fallacies of sensibility, believability and, ironically, logic to be part and parcel of perfectly acceptable Star Trek.
I guess I had a similar feeling about the 4th Indiana Jones movie that came out last year. Everyone was hailing the nuclear test refrigerator escape as the millennial jump the shark. But the series had jumped that shark so many decades ago, i was no longer bothered by it.
So, yeah, completely stupid implausiblities either don't bother me or simply don't occur to me as I'm swept away with the fun space adventure with some of my favorite characters.
That seriously is quite the list. That it doesn't matter a fig to me is oddly more testament to the wonderfulness of this movie.
