    • That alien transporter with a range of 40,000 light years (the spatial trajector) that just can’t work on Voyager because it has an incompatible power supply
    • Infinitely fast travel at warp 10 that comes with serious, but entirely curable side-effects

      Janeway and Paris preferred to stay in the delta quadrant rather than explain their giant Yeerk babies.

      It annoyed me so much that Discovery basically wrote off all the propulsion technologies that didn’t quite work in the 24th century, just so the spore drive could be special in the 32nd century.

        I have much the same gripes about Voyager making the Warp 10 speed limit a universal hard limit, rather than something that the warp drive was simply not able to achieve.

        At least Discovery’s could still pulled them back out of the rug with them not having to wring every single piece of dilithium for all it’s worth.

        “If you go just a bit faster than the Voyager, the universe itself breaks, and all propulsion technologies are obsoleted past the threshold” is much harder to get around without something like Q shenanigans.
