[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] An understanding of TV production is tremendously important, because if you have a choice between several theories, the one that takes into account behind-the-scenes will probably last the longest. This knowledge is also a big part of the difference between fans and fanboys. The other important thing is believability. It occured to me that the guys who wrote the first tech manual, the TOS writers' guide, had nothing to be consistent with, so everything had to be invented with respect to the real world. Even the TNG tech manual sometimes ignores consistency with TOS in favor of believability with respect to the space program and the state of science. The Franz Joseph manual became popular because it was professionally done, not because it was consistent with the details of TOS. That's also the reason some fandom publications out there are valued. So the best course of action is probably a believable theory that takes into account the established details as much as possible and suits the nature of television production. (It looks like I'm bound to write a textbook on this someday...) [/QB][/QUOTE]
