So in theory, whenever the ship gets knocked around by Q or Tin Man or whatever and goes sailing off in a flat spin, it should be spinning around the nacelles instead of around a point more-or-less in the middle of the ship. ... We're putting more thought into this than the show runners ever did, aren't we?

You know, I swear one of those maps of the Star Trek galaxy shows the true scope of Janeway's incompetence; if she'd gone towards the Gamma Quadrant instead of Alpha, they'd reach the far end of the Bajoran wormhole much much sooner than 70 years. Also the landing thing I at least remember as being a half-assed emergency the first time because they hosed the ship up bad and needed to set down fix it or something. The flexible nacelles always seemed dumb as hell though, because that kind of thing has to be a bitch to repair. "We can't go to warp Captain, the loving left nacelle won't go up! Again!"

I remember some episode of Voyager where they have contact with somebody from the Alpha Quadrant and they mention the Dominion War in some fashion and the Voyager crew is all like "aroo?" but of course that's the end of it because god forbid you say something interesting or have the characters react emotionally to the fact that their brethren are locked in a life or death struggle and they can't help.

You'd think at the very least Starfleet could've gone "here, have the replicator blueprints for the new uniforms and stop dressing like chumps".

Voyager should have gone up and over the galactic core. Nothing up there so get up to speed, kill the engines and let the core's gravity arc you back down on your way home. They could have sat and sipped the recycled coffee-piss for 80 peaceful years of really well-written holo novels and clarinet concerts.

They don't bring it up because they don't want viewers to get confused. Ironic since The only other fan as obsessive over minutiae and detail are WH40K fans. Another thing about Janeway's route. Should've gone to the center of the galaxy and hooked up with the Cytherians. You'd think Barclay would've mentioned them.

Oooh, I remember back in middle school I met a friend of a friend who snuck those things to a sleep over to paint cause he got in trouble and got his figurine painting privileges taken away at home. I believe he drowned in a river a few years ago.

shadow puppet of a posted:That way lies madness. Don't even think about it if the inconsistencies of trek-space adhered to your brain. That's what makes WH40K so fun. Some inconsistencies are intentionally ambiguous so certain stories conflict. And others are there so Games Workshop can tell you all those metal toys you painted are non-regulation and you have to buy new ones.
