I meant that in one episode, they can travel all over the galaxy
(whether that takes a day or a week isn't my point), and in another
episode, they are confined to a small quadrant.  The latter makes much
more sense, of course.  ST:V (which you mentioned) is one example --
they are able to travel from Earth to this neutral planet and then to
the center of the galaxy all in the space of what seems like days.
And then of course you have the issue of real-time communications
being possible at extreme distances in some episodes and not possible
in others, etc etc.  My point to whiny-boy "Your Name" is that the
"consistency" he is demanding from an alternate time-line,
time-travel, re-boot story doesn't even exist in prior canon.
