  They didn’t argue about Trelane being a Q for 58 years—TNG premiered in 1987. No conversation could have predated that.

  I can't believe there was someone who considered themselves a serious writer arguing that DS9 should've ended with, "it was all a dream." What a hack.

  Gary Mitchell's explanation for Kirk's middle name: "I am altering the middle initial.  Pray I do not alter it further."

  Noone could have argued about trenlane being a Q for 58 years since that race hadn't been created or introduced until TNG in the late 80's

  Glad to know that Trip lived. That broke my heart when he died.

  My personal theory is that Cyrano Jones from the Trouble with Tribbles is actually a Section 31 operative. He just happened to come to Station K-7 with the one creature that could both detect the poisoned grain as well as the disguised Klingon operative who poisoned the grain.

  There is a difference between something turning out to be true and something retconned to be true.

  Just for funsies, Star Trek Online has the mind-controlling parasites explained as creatures genetically enhanced by the resurgent Iconians who use them to secretly control other races to use as pawns.  It's actually a pretty fun arc to play through.

  "Fans" haven't argued about the Q connection to Trelane for 58 years, Q has only been around since like 87 ish.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3RPdr0JJcc&amp;t=995">16:35</a> &nbsp;St Elsewhere pulled that off because they were the first. And many still hate them to this day for it. It would never have worked for DS9.
