Do you like Klingons?

[Atrocities]

Oh man you have just bitten off more than you can chew.... Do you really want to get into a debate about these points with me?

As I said before, that is just being anally retentive. Who the hell cares that they used different extras? It doesn't matter. It would have been much more expensive to keep the same extras throughout the entire 7 year run. Actual named crewmen don't come close to 135.

Who care are the people who watch the show and try to understand the inconsistancy and lack of detail that something as stupendious as this breeches. They are out in the middle of no where, yet they manage to show they had over 200 crew memeber, over 200 of them, even thought they had only 135 or so? This is a HUGE fricking plot foul up and yes they should have paid closer attention to this. Cost be damned, it completely underminded the credibility of the show.

They found plenty of resources. Anything on the hull plating could be replicated from any source matter, including intermittent dust particiles in space. All it takes is some time and energy. When they were in extended periods of fighting and had no time to replicate and repair, the ship accrued plenty of battle damage.

Although this was lightly touched on in a few episodes, it more often than not resulted in them loosing more than they had gained. The little that they did explain gaining could not support the grand effort that you have depicted while the ship still was operating under repulator rations.

I think that was mentioned fairly early on...

In regard to the shuttles, it was not mentioned until season seven. Before that it was a plot hole that kept coming up over and over again so finally the producers/writers decided to handle it.

Food in the holo suites is holographic, and could not be eaten to gain nutrients. If it were made to actually be editable and digestible, it would require the use of replicators, and would use up some of the crewman's replicator rations. There is no inconsistency there at all.

And we are back again to the old continuity factor.

Holo suites and replacators are a spin off of Transporter technology according to Trek Cannon. The food in a holo suite is the same food that a replacator creates. They drink in holo suites, they can eat in them, they can have sex in them. The food and drink are as real as if they came from a replacator. The show made a point to stress that holo suites run off of a differant power source than the replicators. This was a huge hole continuity wise because it was established in both STGN and DS9 that holosuites can generate replicated food. This was never explained in Voyager thus it is one of those things that are open to debate.

Voyager blew the hell out of common sense continuity. Enterprise is walking a very fine line, but the series is not yet complete and they do have an out. Do to the temperal cold war, all of the events in Enterprise may never actually happen in the end. We simply do not know yet.

About the kid on the bridge of Enterprise in TNG, well you gotta remember that the first two season of TNG sucked horribly because Gene was running things. He might have been a gifted man and the creater of Star Trek, but he could not write an episode worth watching. This gets back to the conflict thing I mentioned earlier.
