Things that retarded fans seem to parrot as facts but are complete bullshit and grind your gears.
Here is a common one as an example:
USS Defiant - Sisko's ship - Facts:
>Was equipped with a Romulan cloaking device
>Said cloak was to be only used in Gamma Quadrant
>Also meant to be only operated by a Romulan Waifu that disappeared for whatever reason
>When the original Defiant was destroyed, the replacement did not have a cloaking device fitted
Somehow this translates to:
<Federation had developed cloaking technology
<All Defiant Class ships have cloaking devices
Shit like this makes me rage about the Trek fanbase.

The Defiant can cloak in the Alpha Quadrant, just not in Federation space.
Deep Space 9 is not in Federation space, it's owned by the Bajorans, and of course Bajor is NOT part of the Federation. They asked Starfleet to administer the station after the occupation by the Cardassians.
My head-canon (I hate that term, but… you know, you just have to use it sometimes to make things work) says that it's a loophole in the treaty.

Something tells me that was the plan after DS9: all the mysteries around Sloane, the support of an old main castmember for the first episode in Bashir, the supporting cast in the Admiral and Sloane. instead we got Voyager, possibly because of an outcry for a more traditional trek show?

The point is that it's not worth it. A personal energy shield can cover every beam weapon from the LHC to a Klingon disruptor and a few other energy attacks besides, diverting a bullet when you're already 50% metal anyway and don't really need half of your fleshy bits besides, that's not worth investing in a man-size deflector for every drone which is what they'd need to act as an equivalent defence to their shield, it's simply inefficient, there's no need because it's not a legitimate threat to merit the effort.
The Borg are pretty lazy as long as it's not a real threat to them.

People don't use their brains and shit writing. If the Borg (BoBW) were encountering melee combatants, they'd fabricate shielding and armor to resist melee attacks. Same thing thing with bullets. Picard killed two Borg with holographic bullets. A Phasor can kill between two and seven before they adapt to its frequencies. We have no idea how many he could shoot with the hologun before the Borg put in something to block it.
We know they can adapt to more than energy weapons because in Best of Both Worlds they adapt to a nanite attack. The idea the borg can just get annihilated by guys with modern rifles is stupid.

I'm going through TOS for the first time. Every stereotype about Kirk/Shatner is so massively exaggerated. Especially his sexuality. I'm pretty deep into the series and he hasn't had that many romantic encounters so far. Fucking Picard got as much action as this dude. He sure as shit wasn't some horny frat boy either. Kirk was flirtatious, but was also a gentleman and only seemed to hook up with women who could match his wit.

Yeah, Kirk's reputation in pop culture is incredibly far off the mark. I've always thought that his portrayal in "Conscience of the King" really nailed what he was supposed to be. Flirtatious (as you said), but also a strategic and tactical thinker who knows both when to bend the rules, and when to strictly apply them.
Shatner's reputation for hamminess is way overblown. He could be quite subtle when he wanted to be.

I watched TOS as a kid and recently got the blu-rays and I'm amazed at how subtle the whole show can be. For instance, in The Man Trap opener, the whole landing party and Dr. Carter are sweating like pigs, but Salt Waifu comes in dry as a bone - a subtle hint that she's not human before all the killing starts. I'm not even sure 60s era TVs could even show details that clearly.

I believe I've said this before but I have come to the conclusion that anyone who rants and raves about how great TOS is especially over TNG and DS9 has never watched it.
For starters once you've seen about a third of the episodes you've seen them all as the plots were that repetitive. Aside from some truly great episodes there's a lot of garbage there that makes you snore. It was very much a product of it's time so a lot of the shock value it had has since been lost.
Likely what normalfags have seen has only been clips of it or parodies of it which is likely where they get Kirk was a pussy magnet meme from. If anything the guy was just a massive adrenaline junkie but there are about maybe 6 out of 79 episodes where he really uses his dick to solve the problem and that's pushing it!
>>29485
The one thing TOS does well is not the quality of special effects but the way it uses them. The story can be told from just the scenary and costumes alone in most cases.

I think it's a generational thing. TOS was certainly hit-and-miss, but the rest of the sci-fi TV landscape in the late 1960s and early 1970s was miss-and-miss. Sci-fi fans who grew up in that time basically had nothing else to watch.
