you see,
ST has always been sort of open ended. They even poked fun,
in DS9, about the radical change of appearance of Klingons; from the original series to TNG. Worf himself has had a couple of... well... makeovers?
It does not pay to sweat the details in ST. Some poor fool
actually wrote a book with a title like 'Nitpickers guide to Star trek' I glanced at it, and noticed he got dozens of routine errors;
but missed a roughly equal number of scientific screw ups. No matter,
it is space opera, the miracle is that Rodenberry was able to breathe life into TNG.
couple of my favorites
the Klingon (sp?) Bird of Prey going warp speed in the atmosphere & expecting to return to a populated Earth back in the futureSpok telling the bridge that his ancestor stipulated that when one eliminates the impossible, what remains, no matter how improbable must be the truth. He's a descendent of the fictional Sherlock Holmes character?
my friend's
during the original series Kirk asked for a magnification of the main viewer of 1 1,000,000 . I'm sure that the script probably called for 1:1,000,000 but never the less it was humorous.my brother's
Spok's unpowered torpedo tube soft landed on the Genesis planet w/o so much as to kill the microbes on it.BTW, I love that tribble "DS9" episode & I want a hard copy of it!!! I've been looking. I bought the Daulphin & Lull from "TNG".
In the Next Gen series a character is being chased by an alien through the Enterprise. They have been shifted into a slighly different dimension where they occupy the same space as the ship but can pass through physical objects as if ghosts since they have no actual physical contact with the vessel. The alien is about to catch the crewman when the crewman dives to the floor and the alien overshoots and runs through the outer wall of the ship to die in the vacuum of space.So how the hell could they run in a ship they cant have physical contact with? What were their feet pushing against? And how could the creman dive onto the floor itself and stop his momentum when he passed through walls like a hot knife through butter?
Rules for viewers of sci fi on TV: Switch off brain. Suspend critical thought. Go with the flow. Otherwise - change channels. ;-)

the movie not the identity. When the meteror crashes through the hull of the ship like it were crystal & decides to roll down the passageway instead of continuing through with its enormous momentum.
One thing I've never been able to find out is why they killed off Lt. Yar in the first season.I had the same thoughts regarding that episode where they change phase. They were magically monitoring "unusual radiation" patterns on the ship and figured out they had to flood 10-forward with the radiation to bring back their crewmates.
Tom §.
the Romulan caught up with her, and Geordi came running thru the wall
and sideblocked him, the Romulan then sailed into space. In the same episode, time fractures into a bunch of itty bitty pieces, a mommy lays her eggs in a singularity (black hole); and Geordi with a basic repair kit whips up a little shoulder mounted device that can alter space/time. Oh sure.
Reality, what a concept. PLEASE don't ask me why i love that show; but it would be hard to deny, when you consider i can *also* quote ypu some of the dialogue! "If it will teach Ro Laren humility, who knows what it can do" Sigh, my name is Late, and i am a trekkie, and it has been one day since i saw a show....
