The 14 Dumbest Things In Star Trek First Contact

11. Shatter-Goof Glass

In a preposterous contrast to the forcefield-as-window seen earlier in the film, glass is back, baby, in the Observation Lounge. This is amply demonstrated when Captain Jean-Ahab Picard swings his phaser rifle at the center panel of the display case containing the “little ships.” Transparent aluminum this stuff isn't, and it goes to pieces like a saloon window in a TV Western.

It's the 24th century, and they don't have shatterproof glass? What's to prevent any hapless crewmembers from cutting themselves to ribbons whenever the ship inevitably does a "Starfleet shuffle" during some space combat or ship-rocking anomaly?
