The End Is the Beginning - S1-E3

Stupidity: The Chateau is stormed by the Zhat Vash commandos. The two trusty housekeepers prepare to fight the aggressors armed to the teeth by grabbing... a bread knife and a wine bottle. All is good, since the bottle is super-effective, knocking down a Romulan wearing a helmet. This absurdity aside, moments later during the fight it turns out that the valets had weapons stashed everywhere in the room, even strapped underneath tables! Why would they start off with such ineffectual weapons instead of reaching for the guns, other than of course for dramatic purpose?

Mistakes

Season 2 generally

Plot hole: Dr. Adam Soong is initially presented as a discredited scientist, banned from the scientific community; he gets debarred and his funding revoked. And it's not an internal matter; he is publicly exposed for it. His daughter in episode 6 even finds out this information on Google. Several news articles call him "mad scientist" and such. However, this same person at the same time throughout the rest of the season has every bit of pull and influence, not just through undercover channels, but is treated with the utmost honor and deference by the NASA PR people at public events.

Trivia

Trivia: President Anton Chekhov is the son of Pavel Chekhov. While he has the same name of a real life Russian writer, his name is also a tribute to the late Anton Yelchin who played Chekhov in the rebooted Star Trek movies. He is voiced by Walter Koenig, who played Chekhov in the original Star Trek series.

Questions

Show generally

Question: How do the "door transporters" outside Starfleet work? People just seem to walk straight into them and vanish, a) faster than normal transporters, and b) without any indication they're controlling where they're going. There's no sign saying where each door connects to, are people just hoping for the best?

Chosen answer: My guess is that they go to 1 place and they can't chose where to go. Like a highway without exits, you just end up where the highway stops.

Answer: I assume they get sent directly from those 'Doors' to a Central Transporter hub, from there they can request to be beamed to their desired destination.
