Also they basically never use space suits. They just check to see if it is a class M planet and then are shocked whenever they discover it toxic in some mysterious way.
- I was recently watching an episode of TOS, and Spock beamed onto an alien space ship. The first thing he said when he appeared was, "It appears to be a breathable atmosphere," or something like that. Like, YOU JUST FOUND THAT OUT?
  
  I bet he was super calm about it too
- Yeah, "Oops, should we not have been breathing in these alien plant spores?"
  
  Every time they take off their helmet I practically scream for them to leave it on
  
  the ones that make you dance around and say "groovy, man", and feel the need to parrot anarchist demagoguery.. and late paying rent..
- And when they do use space suits they open their helmets the moment they find an even marginally breathable atmosphere
People who tell you to touch grass have clearly never seen TNG. Wesley touched grass. It almost killed him!

- I actually still need to start SNW. It looks good from what clips I've seen.
  
  I'm glad, and not surprised, that this trope is still going strong though!
  
  I have some minor quibbles with it, but compared to Picard and STD, it’s really spectacular that it even exists.
  
  High praise that I’m not even bothered by the Kirk or Spock recasts. Even if their version of Kirk looks nothing like Shatner, I like the cut of his jib.

  You are missing out, dude. SNW is the new Trek we've been waiting for. I think it's just as good as Lower Decks
The one exception being Risa. Jamaharon for days.
- The artificial weather is making the Federation soft. We have to shut it down.
- The one true paradise
"Truly, it was a paradise."

"And all you had to put up with was one really annoying Star Trek fan."

"... let's get the hell out of here."
- I know we have a Melllvar around here somewhere...

Away team commander: “MACOs. WE. ARE. LEAVING.”
Imagine all the actual paradise planets we never got to see because nothing interesting happened.
