Favorite blatant contradictions

[Guy Gardener]

those kids are still full of nanoprobes.

They're either seen as lepers to be put down or goldmines awaiting exploitation if you remember those Ferengi's plans for Seven in Inside Man

In either case I doubt that their parents, any of their parents could adequately defend their children from any threats their children will certainly generate, even if Kathryn left them a crate of phasers.

[R. Star]

Shouldn't Janeway, Tuvok and Torres all still be full of nanoprobes too from that Unimatrix Zero silliness?

[Guy Gardener]

Human beings go to the toilet.

Their nanoprobes flow out.

Borg on the other hand Regenerate.

Nothing flows out.

...

Our heroes were not fully integrated into their enhancements, unlike the kids who had spent a year and longer in their maturation chambers being force evolved into pure Borg.

[R. Star]

Yeah, but Picard wasn't assimilated that long and still had Borg mojo force powers to detect them and read their minds in First Contact. So stands to reason you can't completely wipe the slate.

I think it's a leap to think just because a child had been previously assimilated and then rescued that they'd be the target of random violence. They'd be seen as liberated POWs, if anything.

If all the Borg tech had been extracted sure, I'd believe you, but it hadn't, and if Seven taught them how to converse with the public at large that they are continuously saying "I am Borg" then they're going to get their head stuck down a toilet at te very least until they get over themselves and their perfection.

I think my absolute favorite was Harry Kim never getting promoted (even though everyone around him was) but somehow retaining a critical position on the bridge and the command staff. If he's not worthy of promotion, then bring in someone who is.

How is that a contradication??

I would have voted for Janeway supposedly fiddling with her combadge, but I couldn't have said if that was true or not.

It is. There were plenty of times like that, before and after that episode and she never did it!


I noticed that a lot of examples are more of oddities than contradictions here.

Butt-dialing is a 21st century epidemic of the cautionless.

The 24th century has to deal with boobie-dialing.

I want to know how they can hit their commbadge and say "Doctor I need you on the bridge". Does it instantly transfer you to the commbadge of the the first name you say? I'd swear they don't always say the name first off.

[Guy Gardener]

And there have to be similar names and crew with the exact same names.

Although.

The computer probably has a list of often called/favourites and it extrapolates from their if the crew don't make their own lists manually like we do on cell phones with speeddialing.

Remember everything, even crew speaking English to other crew listening for English, it all still goes through the universal translator so the computer is picking up a lot of nuance.

They use tachyons.

The combadge links with the chip in your brain they install at birth to know who you're calling. This is what also makes the universal translator work for multiple languages and what Section 31 uses to monitor your thoughts.

[teacake]

If I wear a transparent aluminum hat will it block Section 31 from my thoughts?

[Guy Gardener]

Ordinary peoples little thoughts? Probably.

Your thoughts? I doubt it.
