You know what was a stupid movie? Star Trek: Insurrection
“Alright, to stop the Son’a, we need to move the Baku from their village to the mountains, where they’ll be safe.”
“Can we teleport them close to the mountains or use shuttlecraft to move them?”
“No, they’ve gotta walk.”
“Alright, I’ll go talk to the security personnel of the Enterprise, see who wants to volunteer to escort them.”
“Oh, no, no, they’re all going to stay on the ship. We’re going to have all of the bridge crew, except Riker and Geordi, go down to the planet.”
“You’re sending a bunch of middle-aged officers into combat? Even the fucking ship’s counselor?”
“Yeah, should be fine.”

“Alright, Baku, here are some phasers. Arm up and defend yourselves!”
“Oh no, we couldn’t possibly resort to violence. That would go against all of our ideals!”
“You’re okay with people committing violence on your behalf, though, right?”
“Yeah, why not?”
“Because in a bit, Worf is going to shoot a rocket launcher at the bad guys.”

“Sounds cool!”
“If you’re really nonviolent, wouldn’t you rather just let the Son’a have the planet and leave peacefully for another world, which was their plan in the first place?”
“No, no, kill the shit out of them. See if you can find a way to blow their leader straight to hell.”
