    No, you’re not understanding.

    you are the one who don’t understand. you said something, it was not true, i showed you why. end of story.

    there could be warp above 10 in TOS and it did not contradict anything, because it was within the parameters they set.

    they decided to change that in TNG and they stayed withing the changed parameters. they made one bad warp 10 story in voyager that was still within these parameters - it still did not contradict anything.

    they introduced some other means in the future, like slipstream and fucking fungi drive, which are just irrelevant to the warp factor.

    in fact the only one i can think of that was out of line was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_No_One_Has_Gone_Before - but again - not really relevant to my comment “warp 10+ in TOS was fine and not a contradiction”

    if you are arguing just for the sake of arguing, go find another sparring partner

      I’m not arguing. Everything you’ve just listed were invented by ST writers. Meaning that it’s all fungible, regardless of the “rules” of continuity set by producers and writers. You just seem unable or unwilling to admit that human whims can wipe it all away or change it all.

      Like…tell me about Klingon makeup consistency and why Disco went bananas about that. Where was the thoughtful consistency then?

        of course. you are not arguing 5 levels deep in this discussion 😆

        Everything you’ve just listed were invented by ST writers.

        well, no.

        in TOS, it was under direct control of roddeberry, since TNG, there was literal <show name> technical manual for writers to refer to.

        You just seem unable or unwilling to admit that human whims can wipe it all away or change it all.

        for some strange reason, you are desperately trying to prove something that did not happen.

        Like…tell me about Klingon makeup consistency and why Disco went bananas about that. Where was the thoughtful consistency then?

        because bunch of parasites were allowed to parasite on something they knew nothing about. you do understand we are talking about warp speed in TNG, not klingons, and that you are like 30 years and the whole topic off with this argument, right?
