the security argument doesn't hold up considering that the ship is completely covered in unsecured access consoles. anyone can get on the ship, and once there they can use the ship's computer freely.

the software is also unsecured, as demonstrated by all the times the ship was taken over including navigation, defenses and transporters.

it wasn't all bad. bashir acted monstrously, but he realized this fact at the end. the moral was "don't date your patients you dumb gently caress!"

there have been plenty of deeply hosed up episodes that weren't intended as such by their deeply hosed up script writer.

loving your patient was a long star trek tradition and it was only when julian became a rapist that it was presented as a bad thing.

that was the whole point for the civilian scientists on board. sure, there was the ever present danger of space madness and/or sudden violent death, but they also got the first shot at completely new subjects of their field of study.

a mystery requires a setting with consistent rules. star trek has never and will never have that. but well, if one absolutely terrible premise for a show that only coke-fueled executives ever thought was a good idea got made, why not another?

risans are so dedicated to hospitality that it doesn't even occur to them to call the cops on anyone. the belligerent klingon guest was handled via nonviolent de-escalation, as is right and proper.

ramming doesn't really make sense in star trek anyway since no one has materials that can even stand up to impulse without force fields keeping everything intact. if the shields are down, any weapon is more than enough to blow up a ship with a single shot. it's a conceit for a different setting with different mechanics.

it's the combined result of people who don't give a poo poo, people who do give a poo poo but are completely incompetent, and executives stepping in to gently caress up any trace of adequacy that managed to sneak through.

usually there's a handwave about there being too much interference or something. it is rather rare for everyone involved to just sort of forget how transporters work or that they exist at all. the disco pilot is the only time i can recall off hand.
