How would that even work, since they don't use money in the 23rd century? What would one use to buy drugs? Even precious metals and gems could be easily replicated. There's a flaw in the slaw with that whole premise.

TOS often mentions credits as a means of exchange it's TNG that seems to be a communist society

I think the credits were for dealing with other Federation worlds. In Star Trek's time with replicator technology, there is no scarcity anymore so it would render all our economic systems (based on scarcity) obsolete.

Right, since the UFP did not yet achieve to create, in the galaxy, the same comfort as Paradise Earth. On DS9 that Paradise was almost disrupted.

Some episodes simply don't jive with the others.

Squire of Gothos- manufactured gems etc.

First Contact- Look at all out Tritanium!, but for some reason only Starfleet gets it, because that one TNG civilian human captain was going around in a broken down tiny ship, and using an old 23rd century phaser.

If any human could have anything, why are they serving a bunch of elitist jerks who border on fascists?

Why not a Galaxy Class for everyone? -or, at least, the largest space vessel that can be automated or run by a crew of five chimpanzees?

Why not personal space stations for every family?

Anyway, It's really cool to be able to have the original version of the episode.

I also love HE's youtube channel.

The replicator tech we see in Next Gen isn't there in TOS. The food always comes out of a wall slot in TOS but a galley was mentioned in CHarlie X I think. A lot of other stuff, like costumes to blend in on a planet, has to be made-tho made quickly like in Patterns of Force when they needed McCoy down right away. When they needed Dilithium crystals in the Mudd's Women episode they didn't replicate them they had to get them from miners.
