Star Trek

Yeah, the ignition temperature was all over the place, but the idea was, excuse the pun, planted.

I'm wondering if the person who objected to turbines in engineeering also objected to photon torpedos being manually loaded by a crew of six back in earlier movies.

Sure it was a stylistic choice of seafaring homage back then, but my point being Star Trek has long since established a sort of stylistic freedom from common sense. Is building a starship in Iowa any less absurd than the spacedock palace suddenly available in the few days between Trek II and III?

Yes, some of the more egregious plot and logic holes have become troublesome to me, all the moreso because they are unnecessary. It's not enough that they didn't occur to me while watching the movie, but someone connected with the film for years of production should have ironed those things out. I have to admit that was laziness.
