Having Children on the ships is just mind blowing bad. If they had kids on Voyager, this would work because they were just a science ship. But they have the Enterprise a ship that will be going into danger over and over. To have kids there is just wrong. This clip from Lower Kids paints this out in a such a funny way.

https://youtu.be/_3hyn0ppYsI?t=51

Also in this show Lower Decks there is a character named Mariner, she on the surface she looks like she is this OP character and such can fight really well and stuff. But when you look deeper she is a is a very messed up character. There is trauma there that impacts how she functions. The show has shown us a little bit of this. But a fan Theory is that she was a child on the Enterprise (lol). And while I never put much stock into fan theroies it so adds up to explain her hang up and need for therapy .

Yeah, never got why the Enterprise was part cruise ship too. I could live with it more if they separated the saucer section more, but they only did it a relative handful of times in the show.

Still, that's nothing compared to Discovery/Picard. The whole Federation turned awful.

It's not unethical by their standards. Historically there have been many seafaring peoples who would bring their families on voyages. Even ones for things like naval purposes. Or piracy, even.

It's definitely a bad idea when it's the Enterprise since it's the most prized target to take down. But it's also the safest in the entire fleet, when you actually consider it.

I did think I would like it. But it literally fun ,I love the people in it. They seem to be friends and care about each other. And honestly for a comedy show, when they have a debate or issues. Most times I can see both sides of the argument.

Not to rag on other new Trek. But a lot of the BS that happens in Picard just seems out there. Like everything that it is built on, just seems like what the heck. Also Picard wasn't Data's best friend. His best friend doesn't show up there.

The Enterprise is ostensibly an exploration and diplomatic vessel, they're just constantly getting fucked up. I think the saucer separation was meant for times when it wouldn't make sense for the civilians to be involved, but it was deemed too expensive to keep up with.

Like there's even an early episode where Riker and Picard get all pissy about having to perform military training exercises. Riker says something like, "Combat is a very minor part of a starship's duties."

Because the Galaxy class starship was flawed from the beginning. I believe that after the attempted Borg invasion and the emergence of the Dominion threat, Starfleet stopped putting children on starships.

You mentioned that the intrepid class starship having kids would make sense because it was a science vessel. Back to my first point, the Galaxy class starship was meant to act as a science vessel among a multitude of other things. Which is why it was so flawed. It doesn't make any sense for children to be living on any Starfleet vessel unless they're being transported to a colony far away.

Enterprise's bar was located at the very front of the ship, the part most likely to crumple first if the ship hit something. Plus all it served was non-alcoholic beverages.

They served booze.

Unless you mean synthenol which is just alcohol without the hangover.

I recall she had a bottle of greenstuff that got Scotty pretty wasted. But I must have missed the ep where Riker karaoke, while Worf dry humped a potted plant when they were drunk.

Yeah, its really weird that the TNG Enterprise is loaded with kids and other non-Starfleet personnel. Seems like it would be super trivial to get a spy on-board which the Romulans literally do at one point.

And there is a reason why StarFleet ended that practice of placing non-StarFleet personnel on their vessels.

Bring children along, rig all your consoles to explode at a moment's notice, send your high ranking officers down to strange planets all the time for no reason...Star Fleet is less unethical and more just really incompetent

I really don't understand how the flagship of the Federation can be an exploration vessel to begin with.
Because they wanted peaceful exploration of the universe not hostile military action unless it was necessary.

And to be fair, Picard said children on a starship was a bad idea.
Children on the Enterprise-D were endangered how many times?

How many times did they get kidnapped?
