If the writers weren't complete morons, we wouldn't have nearly as much to talk about and this place would be a lot less interesting.
Who's with me? Let's celebrate!
Hooray for Trek Stupidity!

Meh - we've had plenty of debates that don't revolve around writer stupidity, and I'd rather have good discussions about good sci-fi than simply spend time trying to rationalise said stupidity.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

I'll agree with Seafort there. In fact, were the episodes well made we might have even more to talk about.

Heh, I guess I've just gotten a lot of mileage from talking about problems lately. This was kind of a spur-of-the-moment post, if you'll excuse me.

I've seen every damn episode of Next Generation at least 10 times a pop. I've seen every Deep Space Nine and Voyager at least once. Most of TOS/Enterprise. And I can count on both hands the number of times that I've actually been offended by the stupidity of the writing enough to want to complain about it. For the shows to do what they've done is astonishing. I find the writing discrepancies to be more curious than annoying or offensive.
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?
