Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and 'Ensign Gomez' beam down to a planet. Which one isn't coming back?
Voyager, which is the only Trek I have watched more than 5 eps of, feature quite a few of these. Whenever "Ensign Whoeverthehell" was part of the story, you knew he/she was done for! I would think they would have learnt from the previous series!

Rule by committee.
Here's the difference between Star Trek and the best SF show on TV last year:

Star Trek:

Picard: "Arm photon torpedoes!"
Riker: "Captain! Are you sure that's wise?"
Troi: "Captain! I'm picking up conflicting feelings about this! And, it appears that you're a 'fraidy cat."
Wesley: "Captain, I'm just an annoying punk, but I thought I should say something."
Worf: "Captain, can I push the button? This is giving me a big Klingon warrior chubby."
Giordi: "Captain, I think we should reverse the polarity on them first."
Picard: "I'm so confused. I'm going to go to my stateroom and look
pensive."


Firefly:

Captain: "Let's shoot them."
Crewman: "Are you sure that's wise?"
Captain: "Do you know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I'll BEAT YOU WITH until you realize who's in command."
Crewman: "Aye Aye, sir!"

The Joss is wise in the ways of Starship command, what can I say :)

While writing the DS9 episode Battle Lines, the original plan was for Sisko, Dax, Bashir, Kira, and ENSIGN GOMEZ or whomever to go through the wormhole. The rest of the writing staff wisely vetoed this and the recurring character Kai Opaka was substituted. Thus, her death was totally unexpected. It's a shame this lesson was forgotten by the time VOYAGER came around!
