These are the moments that stand in the way of the perfection the Queen always seeks.

SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2022
Frustration can be a lovely feeling sometimes. These examples are not examples of that. Sometimes, Star Trek sets out to deliberately toy with our emotions, drawing things out just long enough for the pay-off, or lack thereof, to truly resonate. There are some entries here of deliberate attempts by the franchise to wind us all up.
Of course, there are the other times when the frustration comes, not from a conscious choice on the creatives' parts, but from issues and examples of either rushing the plot, bungling a story, or just plain non-sensical decision making. Yes, Star Trek is wonderful and we love it ever so. That doesn't mean it's free from these moments - far, far from it.
From incredibly outdated statements, to lazy production decisions, to huge miscarriages of justice behind the scenes - Star Trek has been delivering the goods on frustrating its audience since the franchise began. The Original Series went out on a whimper, and the enlighted shows that followed managed to drop a few clunkers.
But this list contains balance, not just to appease a mad Titan, but also to highlight those moments when the frustrations are earned. Which of these entries teased you just the right amount?
