* BlakesSeven: Vila is not dead. He fell backwards, therefore he is still alive.

* ''{{Buffy}}'' fandom reacted badly to Andrew being seen heading off for a night on the town with two attractive women, since he's "obviously" gay. (It's actually [[AmbiguouslyGay more ambiguous]] with hints of [[BiTheWay possibly bisexuality]].) Joss Whedon has since stated that [[http://whedonesque.com/comments/15286#207889 Andrew was supposed to be headed off for a night on the town with a mixed-sex group]]. Remember, it's Italy.
** Of course, there's the fanon that Billy Idol got the hair style from Spike.
*** There's also the fanon that Spike absolutely hates his last name, Pratt. Admittedly, since he never mentions it and goes by William The Bloody, which was actually an insult, before going by Spike, it's logical.

*** Confirmed in a deleted scene from the first season; it may or may not still be canon. There is mention in the online comics that HRG and Sandra could not conceive a child.

** Mohinder went to boarding school in England, hence the accent. Or to university. It's also common fanon that his native language is Tamil (which makes sense, since this is the primary language spoken in Chennai, where he grew up) and that he is an atheist (arguably implied in the comic "Monsters") and a vegetarian.

** T'Pol being in Stafleet before Spock could be integrated into the Spock was first fanon if instead of first Vulcan in Starfleet, he was the first Vulcan to enter Starfleet Academy

** Mohinder went to boarding school in England, hence the accent.
** Nathan is eleven years older than Peter (his exact age is unknown).

**** IDW's The Forgotten comic (Issue 5, for the pedantic) gives us this lovely line: "I once convinced my most-hated enemy that I was half-human with nothing more than a wide-eyed expression, a few words and a half-broken Chameleon Arch."

*** Spock himself was capable of pulling some fast ones back then, too. The plots of ''The Menagerie'' and ''The Enterprise Incident'' depend entirely upon Spock's ability to lie directly to his friends and comrades and violate multiple regulations in the process. His actions in both episodes at minimum risked the loss of the Enterprise and at worst full-scale war. Spock's character is redeemed in the first instance by a desire to help the permanently-crippled Captain Pike and in the second instance by acting upon higher orders ([[GreyAndGreyMorality although those orders were themselves questionable]]...[[FridgeLogic and why not at least brief the entire senior staff?]] If both Kirk and Spock are both caught and killed by the Romulans, Scotty is left with no contingency plan to get the ship and the crew out of there!)

*** And then there's T'Pring...evidence ''within TOS'' that Vulcans could use their logic to be cunning backstabbers. Spock himself was capable of pulling some fast ones back then, too (the plots of ''The Menagerie'' and ''The Enterprise Incident'' depend entirely upon Spock's ability to lie to his friends and comrades, to their faces).

** Up until Kurt [[{{Jossed}} mentioned]] in ''The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle'' that he still lived at home, it was generally accepted across the fandom that Dalton Academy was a boarding school.

*** From the perspective of Vulcans, who are canonically described as having much longer lifespans than humans (Spock's father lives until the middle of TNG, and Spock himself much longer than that) 200 years isn't all that long. And given the corruption of Surak's teachings described in ''Enterprise'' it's plausible that a generation or two was needed to overcome bigotry to the point that Vulcans felt comfortable in Starfleet in large numbers, with Spock leading the way. Even he had to overcome the generation gap between himself and his father (who was progressive enough among Vulcans to take a human wife). Also, Starfleet as a ''fully-integrated'' entity may be a relatively new thing during TOS--prior to that, the humans, Vulcans, Andorians, etc. maintained separate space fleets (Kirk refers to 'UESPA'--United Earth Space Probe Agency--in an early episode; he may have been a holdover from the Earth contingent incorporated into the Federation's Starfleet). There are any number of ways, alone or in combination, that canon and fanon can be reconciled believeably on this point.

** ''TensouSentaiGoseiger'': The Goseigers are ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. WordOfGod gives them ages between 17 (Moune) and 24 (Hyde.)

* Sheldon of the ''{{BigBangTheory}}'' displays classic signs of Asperger's Syndrome, but the creators have shot down that idea. It doesn't stop the fans from making this guess though.

*** So basically you're saying that for almost 200 hundred years, (from the time of the twenty first century scenes in the motion picture First Contact to the time of The Original Series), no Vulcan served in Starfleet despite the fact that Earth and Vulcan were allies for such a long period of time. [[FridgeLogic Think.About.That]]

**** The TVM was supposed to have a line revealing they were brothers, but thankfully this was cut. Interestingly enough, another fan pet theory (one going way back to the Seventies) insists the Doctor and the Master are exes (or that the Master at the very least has an [[FoeYay unrequited, bitter crush on the Doctor]]) has been hinted at in the new series. David McIntee and Paul Cornell have both speculated on this possibility.
