Re-insert time of Isolinear chips in "Naked Now"

Voyager and Enterprise didn't make continuity mistakes, they made the choice to ignore previously established things when they interfered with the story they were writing now.
 
Friend,

Have you taken a wrong turn? This is the thread about the time it takes Data to put all the fuses back in the fuse box in TNG S1 episode "The Naked Now."

Responding to a previous post in the thread, friend.

Well, when you put it like that, it's hard to disagree. ;-)

Why the fuck did Voyager and Enterprise make so many continuity mistakes in regards to things established in other episodes of other Trek series?

I invite you to do research on previous posts on the thread before being rude for the sake of being rude.
 
I apologize for my rudeness. I had read the conversation and posted and then saw yours pop up, and it looked like it was unrelated, and a bit flamebaitish.

Sorry
 
Why the fuck did Voyager and Enterprise make so many continuity mistakes in regards to things established in other episodes of other Trek series? With TNG you could say the internet wasn't what it was, and even part way through D.S.9. you could argue the same, but by the time of Voyager and Enterprise, the internet was teeming with sites covering every little fact of Trek, including Trekcore, so there's ZERO excuse to make these mistakes. Further more, there were multiple fan sites to register and ask for help on -- they didn't need to reveal who they are or why they were asking, just say they're curious about this and that. It basically boils down to that old thread bomb of Samuel L. Jackson saying something like, "Google, motherfu***r, know how to use it?!"

I invite you to prove that Voyager or Enterprise had more continuity errors or inconsistencies than DS9, or TNG. I'll leave out TOS since it was the first, and a bit anthology like. Internally, ENT was the most consistent and self referential of them all. Despite oft heard comments about Voyager's internal consistency, I'm not sure I've ever heard complaints that Voyager contradicted "lore" established in TNG, unlike DS9.
 
Five minute turbolift rides on the Enterprise D -- now the episode gets worse.

How so? Dragging a drunken Data anywhere must be a chore, especially if he launches into Gilbert and Sullivan at the doorway, with all the moves. I mean, the android supposedly weighs a ton, and a friendly drunkard hug or slap from him will immediately send Riker to an agonizing detour to Sickbay.

So what I'm getting from all this is that it isn't Data who saves the day here. He's just a machine, after all, and can work fast. It's really Wesley who's the supercomputer. I mean, if it wasn't for that extra minute...

Word.

Here's the thing though, The Naked Now is just a crap episode...

...Sorry, I thought I had more of a point to make there but then I realized that covers everything. ;)

How about that sped-up videotape look of Brent Spiner madly inserting the plastic rectangles?

Awful! Awful!
 
I can't say I'm exceptionally well versed in the depths that some may have reached over the years, but as far as Star Trek fan over-scrutinizing goes, that OP may be the best I've ever seen. Hats off.
 
Well you would have had to pay someone to keep up with continuity in episodes. But with regards to continuity I think as time has passed we have raised our expectations of continuity within shows.

And many if not all long running shows esp. if they have sister shows make continuity errors.
