The transporter should work by physically sending a transporter pad then sending the people. It'd be scientifically rationalizable, practically reasonable by 'landing' much faster than a manned shuttle, and provide interesting limitations. edit: like Galaxy Quest pods, another reason why it's the best Trek.

TNG is the best of times and the blurst of times. They invented the Borg, then a 37? dimensional shape that kills the Borg. Lore and then killed him because Spiner had spine problems. Troi as the goddess of empathy, then a bridge officer.

Half of the TNG writer's room must have been geniuses and the other half fools.
