    And the episode where they cure someone (i think picard?) of some space parasite or force by using the transporter to reset them to before they had it

    And the episode where someone gets stuck as a whole ass sentient person in the pattern buffer

    And tuvix

    Again, some of my favorite episodes are “the transporter is fucked” episodes, but they leave a lot of holes in the narative imo

    Depends entirely on the teleporter used. If its folded space youre still the og you, imo settings that use teleporters that rebuild you bit by bit seem poorly thought out to me. Why not cure all disease with that? Why not print of an infinite number of duplicates? Couldnt you be young forever with that tech? Just save a pattern from your twenties.

    Theyre some of my favorite star trek episodes, but the ramifications of the transporter episodes never seem to stick around. Makes the world feel less fleshed out
