    Just like how Tom Paris went faster than the infinite speed of Warp 10 but wasn’t going infinitely fast. He just wasn’t.

    Also, the Enterprise had already traveled faster than warp 10 multiple times in TOS. Just another reason to ignore Threshold?

      FWIW, the official word from on high was that the idea of warp was revised some time between TOS and TNG. But whatever. I really don’t care what “warp 5” means. It doesn’t mean anything important except “faster than warp 4 and slower than warp 6.”

      If you care about canon, I’m afraid that Lower Decks is considered canonical and Lower Decks has made Threshold canonical.

      But honestly, as long as it entertains me, I’m not really all that bothered by this stuff.
