And yes, in Wrath of Khan they were concerned about transporting inside solid rock, which wouldn't feel too good.


Yes, too, the brilliant original series concept of the transporters for saving all those expensive and air-time-consuming shuttle trips was almost instantly regretted when it sapped every bit of drama from the show unless the transporters were consistently malfunctioning for any return trip.

They are gonna regret Universe-wide, light-speed transporting ... if they don't already. It was beyond stupid. There are so many stupid things in this film, it amazes me. And none of it was necessary. But how fantastic a job they did that no one, me included, seems to care.


On the other hand, to the very casual observer ... once you can teleport someone, it doesn't seem to register that there would be a distance limitation or that you'd have to "hit" a moving target with a stream of actual molecules. In fact, that almost seems quaint.
