Nitpicking Star Trek: TNG – Warp 13?

This one stuck in my craw the minute Riker uttered those words. It was the early days of the internet and the Guild was new. It would be a while before Phil covered this one. However there was a convention coming to town in a month and I was determined to ask the writer or producer who was a scheduled guest about this.

(No, I don’t recall which writer/producer as Terry Farrell was also a guest and my biggest memory of that con was discovering we had gone to the same high school. A few years apart but yeah, cool).

Anyway, I asked about the Warp 13 at the writer’s Q&A. I could almost hear the eyeroll, so I assume he’d been asked before. His first response was “You DO know this only a TV show?” He paused and then give me the same explanation I gave in the meme.
