I think the thing I love about old-school Star Trek tech malfunctions is that they were pure plot devices, not a thesis on how technology is evil. Just straight-up excuses for whatever plot the writers wanted to indulge in that day. If you didn’t have alien tech or space anomalies to cause your current plotline of choice, some good old fashioned Federation tech would also cause issues just fine. Need the crew to wind up stranded in an alternate universe where their counterparts are all evil? Transporter malfunction! Want the crew to go around in period costume without having to come up with an actual time machine? Holodeck malfunction!

(I actually think they should bring back more of that last one, rather than all the actual time travel the shows have been doing since ENT. That’s mostly me not liking most long-term time travel plots, though. They’re just … they’re messy and an excuse to ignore continuity while at the same time trying to have more arcs instead of episodic stories. Anyway)

The exploration and first contact episodes were always awesome too though, yeah.
