I believe I saw some discussion of its inadequacies in net.sf-lovers before the existance of net.startrek. Even if the shuttlecraft did not exist they could have beamed down blankets to the planet. To quote a long gone article "Even if the blankets came down tied in knots they still would serve for their primary function, providing insulation." But if we are talking about screwed up shows who can forget Spock's Brain! The wierd and wonderful screwups in that show are too numerous to mention in this article. The best involved Mcoy's (spelling?) operation of the brainless Spock body. -David Sher (ofttimes AI project)
