This is a thread for light hearted conversation about plot holes, inconsistencies, and just plain wackiness throughout all of Star Trek canon. Remember this is supposed to be light hearted, so don't get too bent up on defending something as not an inconsistency. Although non combative discussions using fanon to fill in such holes is welcome.
(Disclaimer: For the purposes of this thread, Canon refers to all episodes of TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT as originally televised and the theatrical releases of all 11 movies. If an inconsistency is in a scene cut from an episode, or only in the directors cut from a movie, it's not an inconsistency, as it was never meant to be seen, was it? Although such things can be used to shed light on issues of canon if needed.)
I'll start of with my favorite. In TNG "Samaritan Snare" Wesley states, and Picard confirms, that the Klingons are Federation members. In later episodes there is little to no evidence that the Klingons are, or have ever been Federation members.
