[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] It's not necessary to explain things by referring explicitly to lines containing an "error". Lennier's line was never verbally explained, but clues were given in the show that make the answer obvious. I'm saying that the Enterprise writers should intentionally include clues that explain things that could be perceived as mistakes, and that they should take constant complaints by hard-core fans as a sign that maybe some things need to be made *a little* more obvious on the show. Perfection is in trifles. For instance, the next time you write in a Klingon ship, simply call it a warbird. Even simpler, make a reference to the five Klingon warbirds you encountered last week (there are many ways to accomplish the task, and one of them might even help the current story). That way, the viewers will no longer perceive the reference as a mistake. When writing Klingons, insert miscellaneous references to cultural changes, power struggles, also when appropriate to the story. As for the second, well, it depends on how you view this exercise. Some view it as a creative one, taking what you know and reshaping the universe according to the spirit of Star Trek and your knowledge of how things are done in the real world. I see it as as a scientific exercise and search for objectivity -- this requires knowing which sources are more authentic than others, as well as asking "why" all the time, instead of "Well, this seems to work, I'll leave it as it is."
