I remember Eddie Muller, Film Noir guy on TCM describing a writer who said when you're not sure what to do, have a guy bust through the door shooting. This the ST equivalent, Ferengi busting in running some kind of op.
"Undoubtedly the stories about them [hard-boiled detectives] had a fantastic element. Such things happened, but not so rapidly, nor to so close-knit a group of people, nor within so narrow a frame of logic. This was inevitable because the demand was for constant action; if you stopped to think you were lost. When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand."
