10 Modern Star Trek Plots That Are The Same

Let's put aside the notion of gathering the entire fleet in one spot for a moment, and concentrate on - yes you've guessed it - another fully automated fleet being hijacked. In this scenario, Starfleet sets itself up for demise by creating Fleet Formation, a system that will allow other ships to join in on the fun, should one become incapacitated.

On paper, there is perhaps a bit of merit to this idea. However, this is set in 2401 - after the awful experiences with both the Texas-class ships, and the Living Construct aboard the USS Protostar. The kinks quite clearly haven't been worked out of the system - shown when not only are the Borg able to infiltrate the ships, but both the Titan-A and the Excelsior are able to overcome it, for however short a time.

The truth of the matter is that, though the storyline is problematic in its own way, the fact that all three of these events take place so close together in terms of airing, it's very hard not to immediately lump them together. One has to struggle to stop onself from shouting at the screen - have you learned nothing?!
