| 1 | * If this planet is so overpopulated to the point where people are everywhere, how in the hell did they build an exact replica of the Enterprise? |
| 2 | ** Pure manpower? |
| 3 | ** The question is less "how" and more "WHERE" did they build it? Enterprise is not small; if the people really are standing shoulder to shoulder on every square inch of the planet (except for a few select "restricted" areas) as is shown, where did they find the real estate for this massive empty replica? [[note]] Maybe a few of them are now standing ON each others' shoulders in some bizarre Trench Coat Gag.[[/note]] |
| 4 | * For that matter, this is clearly a technologically advanced society. Why haven't they colonized other planets? Not only would it give them more room and ease the overpopulation on their homeworld, but with all the mysterious illnesses various RedShirts succumbed to throughout the franchise, surely they would have come by one naturally ''that'' way. |
| 5 | ** One of the major arguments trotted out against space exploration right here and now in the early [=21stC=] on our Earth is that we shouldn't be going to space until we've fixed everything here on Earth first. Obviously that argument has prevailed here, to their detriment. |
| 6 | * If the population is as overpopulated as we see in the corridor shots, and it's like this on the ''entire planet'', how do they even have the natural resources to ''feed'' that many people? |
| 7 | ** Intense hydroponics, lab grown meat, and soylent green? |
| 8 | ** Well maybe not soylent green, since it involves killing folk. |
| 9 | *** That's only the movie version (from what I understand, having never interacted with any version of the story). |
| 10 | * It's a good thing Kirk never thought to try opening the shuttlebay doors or an airlock or something other than look out the windows. Granted, they probably would have programmed in a false "malfunction" to prevent this, but it never even rates a mention. |
