[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kazeite: [QB] You know, I think we all agree that with some effort [b]everything[/b] can be rationalised... But it's another thing whenever those rationalisations are logical or not :) But my point is, if there are no continuity problems, then we wouldn't have to worry about making up elaborate explanations... The classic example are ENT Romulans who already have cloaking device. As it was noted by other people, it was completely unnecessary for them to have cloaking device (except for BILC factor, that is) and make [b]Minefield[/b] an exciting episode... Anyway, [qb]Except that, for all we know, that incident might have ended up being hused hushed,[/qb] We had Terrans, Vulcans, Klingons and Denobulans involved - I can't exactly imagine Vulcans or Klingons "hushing" that incident. [qb]especially when the brand new Federation was trying to get it's Prime Directive off the ground.[/qb] Judging from the amount of "Boy, I wish we had some kind of Prime Directive!" episodes, there's plenty of other foul-ups for their PD campaign :) [qb]Also, propoganda during the 23rd century hostilities might have clouded judgement on the issue, and that has stuck as common knowledge in the 24th century (even if it's inaccurate).[/qb] Except that we are talking about Picard here, who certainly would not be limited to common knowledge. [qb]One curious (and annoying) thing about Trek fans is that they seem to assume everything spoken on screen is 100% true, and that they are representing an unbiased POV.[/qb] Well, in that case, if we can't trust Picard, then who can we trust? :) [qb]Sure, the actual FC incident wasn't a disaster, but if it in turn led directly into hostilities (and directly into can easily have a space of a couple of years), then I don't see the problem. [/qb] But did it led directly into hostilities? No, it did not. It was [b]Judgement[/b] event that led directly into hostilities (starting with Duras in [b]Expanse[/b]) (and Duras apparent demise is another inconsistency in itself... I mean, if Duras is dead, then he obviously can't have children anymore... unless he already has some :) ) [/QB][/QUOTE]
