In a universe where two crew members can metamorphose into large newt like animals and then back again, transgender is a walk in the park.

I don't have to look at the link to know what that is about. Star Trek didn't really have a great record with evolution episodes

What I would like to know is how the federation went from needing only half a dozen unlabelled buttons to fly a shuttle craft say to needing two dozen labelled switches and accompanied dials and displays.

Just to update this thread re: Discovery. The 3rd series is about half way through at the moment, and it is, for me anyway, a vast improvement. Something has clearly gone on behind the scenes and the scripts are much better (although still far too much emoting) and there are many more links to previous iterations of trek.

The most recent episode was called "Unification III" (a sort of follow up to TNG Unification 2-parter) and even managed to squeeze Leonard Nimoy in. Very enjoyable.
