If Starfleet was so advanced, and could use nanoprobes to bring back dead crewmembers, why had they not cured death yet?
Wouldn't Borg nanoprobes essentially allow someone to live forever?

Actually, that's inherently wrong from a biological standpoint.
Throughout our lives, gene expression changes based upon the issues we encounter.
This could be environmental, magnetic-pole geographic location, things physical..
Or it could be something as minute as the increased usage of the areas of the brain that use analytical and abstract thinking.
There would be nothing holding back someone from evolving so long as they continued to further themselves mentally and physically.
But that's the inherent problem with "curing death" is that the fear of death, the fear of not transferring your genes into a new genetic configuration through the creation of a new life is now highly minimalized to a point where such aspirations become more attainable because you know how a seemingly infinite amount of time to achieve them.
So, I agree and disagree.
Life finds a way around all problems except for the most salient existential one.
<br>
Take for instance the Changelings.. while a hypothetical species, they can live forever unless someone actively wanted to destroy them (or something more extreme like the death of the universe in 10 to the 10 to the 10 to the 10 years from now)..

Because the Federation is scared shitless of trans-humanism,

Its the same reason they outlawed gene-modding, have almost no cyborgs that aren't alien in origin, never use the transporter as a fountain of youth medical device to keep themselves young, and have almost no neural interface tech.

I think a lot of ST writer operated under the assumption that bettering oneself through outside means is a sing of weakness of wickedness. Which is hilarious, because the two fundamentals of human civilization were circumvention of human limitations through tool use and external storing of knowledge. A ST character in a prehistoric setting would be the sort to spend their entire life trying to cut wood with naked hands or cook meat by vigorously rubbing it, because using sharp stones and fire makes you become evil.

And the Bajorans will let the original Ibudan go eventually, and he could do it again.

The thing i never got was that they needed to cannibalise the Doctors diagnostic programme to repair the Doctor, but it was just another programme they ran in the holodeck, not some seperate piece of equipment, so therefore the diagnostic was a programme too, so wouldn't it be as simple as a copy and paste of the code?

I don't understand why everyone was so surprised to find out they were all related and seeded by the Progenitors.

Did they not wonder about how they are genetically compatible enough to cross-breed? How a DNA scan would show considerable similarities?

<Finds a flaw in science fiction because it is science fiction

Congratulations OP. Your faggotry skills are perfected, as are mine. Sometimes a show such as Star Trek spin-offs run into issues when the series has long lived passed its intended story arc. Then there is also a problem with ratings that have to be maintained to keep a series going, and usually this is why logical conclusions are intentionally avoided. ST has constantly fought with being episodic, verses serialized in which the story progresses.

The transporters are literally killing machines which recreate exact clones at desired destinations. There are errors in logic which happen in long running science fictions mostly because the story outlived the intended reach.

That was a S7 episode about a warp probe humans launched hundreds of years ago to contact alien life. It landed on a planet in the delta quadrant, and the nuclear reactor technology within it (IIRC) allowed the civilization to develop nuclear weapons, which they destroyed their planet with.
Voyager comes across a few scattered survivors who blame them for the planet's destruction, but in the end they convince the survivors to let them go and use some technobabble to clean the planet's air

Spock's Brain or Threshold are usually the go to but at least they have camp value.

the new enterprise is totally inconsistent in the film, and various shots indicate a wide variety of sizes anywhere from like ~300m (the window spacing), 450m (the viewscreen) 700m (official numbers), or even quite a bit larger (900+, the shuttlebay)

The other guy is right, it was in homage to Zimmerman after his victory against the rogue Klingon T'RayVuhn.

Maybe they don't want to treat baldness as an extension of their no augmentation philosophy. Maybe they just prefer to work at their problems like how Picard chooses to go to the gym to get in shape for Rikers wedding instead f a simple beaming to remove the excess.

Because the citizenry of starfleet live in a state of perpetual boredom. Their greatest hope is a release from the hellish existence that is constant ennui, and so nobody is willing to do the death research. Suicide isn't an option, because the federation doesn't let it's citizens have weapons, and most weapons aren't lethal enough to kill you beyond their ability to fix you anyways.

This is why you see so many federation officers bungle diplomacy. War is the only release many are likely to see.

Don't get rid of the holodeck. It's a good mechanism to allow for breather episodes. Or at worst, just have it run out of juice occasionally.
