THIS is Star Trek: In Act 1, George Kirk must stay aboard his ship in sacrifice for the lives of 800 people, because the Auto-pilot fails. Machines/technology cannot solve human problems.
THIS is NOT Star Trek: In Act III, the ship is saved (deus ex machina-style) by "ejecting the [warp] core" into the black hole to concuss a vessel--whose structural integrity is so compromised already that the bulkheads and windshield are cracking-- out of it. Typical _Next Generation_ Geordi-modifies-the-deflector-dish-to-emit-a-pulse technobabble crap. A good narrative cannot sustain 3 acts of non-stop action anyway (compare the superlative _Casino Royale_ to any other James Bond film of the past 20 years.)
