Things That Never Happen in Star Trek

* The Enterprise runs into a mysterious energy field of a type that it has encountered before.

* Somebody takes out a shuttle and it doesn't explode or crash.

* A major Starfleet emergency breaks out near the Enterprise, and some other ships in the area are able to deal with it to everyone's satisfaction.

* Picard hears the door chime and doesn't bother to say "Come."

* Counsellor Troi states something other than the blindingly obvious.

* Worf actually gives another vessel more than 2 seconds to respond to one of the Enterprise's hails.

* Wesley Crusher gets beaten up by his classmates for being a smarmy git, and consequently has a go at making some friends of his own age.

* Kirk's hair remaining consistent for more that 1 consecutive episode.

* Scotty doesn't mention the laws of physics.

* Kirk gets into a fistfight and doesn't rip his shirt. (Or even, Kirk DOESN'T get into a fistfight...)

* The episode ends without Bones & Kirk laughing at Spock's inability to understand the joke, and he doesn't raise his eyebrow.
