oh dear, yes there will be errors when you have created star trek films and episodes spaning 40 years but for fuck sake can we not just enjoy what we are watching rather than pick holes in it all the time and argue about it for the rest of eternity....... sad bastards seriously
@Martyn4291 It's possible to enjoy Star Trek as well as finding errors. They can be like tiny delicious easter eggs that suddenly pop up after watching an episode for the n'th time.
@erlendaakre you are right completely and i do like it when you notice a continuity error and have a little laugh over it just bugs me when it gets to the point where all the uber geeks of the world take these errors as an insult to there beloved make believe existance and then go arguing about it, its just a bit much
Well, believe it or not, most comments here seems to be from Trekkers/Trekkies, and very few seem insulted. It's kinda creepy, like a Twilight Zone episode where there are just nice and mature comments on Youtube.
@erlendaakre That would not be semantics they are two different weapons & as for any error's I've watched those shows carefully & the only errors are when Archer's crew had an experience with the Ferengi but when introduced in TNG Starfleet had no history files on them but then again Archer's crew never found out their species name and also when Scotty is beamed out of his 75 year transport & mentions Kirk coming to his rescue when he must have known about Kirk's death as he was there
@Marky11694 I don't really see the big difference between phasers and phase pistols. Both are directed energy weapon that fires a beam that can stun or kill people. except for the wide beam + "disintegration setting" which are practically never used, they are functionally the same. Maybe all those years in a transport buffer caused a light memory loss
@erlendaakre While yes there are some errors here, some of these errors are not mistakes as they said there were no Phasers in the 22nd Century & then you showed them having Phase Pistols which were completely different weapons, probably what Phasers were made to replace. 2nd Archer only beat that Vulcan because he was carrying within him the Katra of Surak. 3rd Deanna only sensed The emotions of the Ferengi & did not read their minds.
@Marky11694 phase pistols seems to be exactly the same as phasers in function, but I guess this could be semantics. 2. one I haven't heard before, I guess he could subconsciously be aware of the moves the Vulcan would make to a certain degree.
3. yeah, the whole telepath/empath thing has been mentioned like 5 times already =)
Because mai gifu loves Trek, and i wanted to have some thing that we could share and chat about that he loves, i have watched his whole DVD collection and every thing i can find on YouTube about it, and i think some of these continuity errors could have been easily avoided if the WRITERS for Trek had been expected to do the same thing. The technobabble matters to trekkers.. so they could at least have learned how many decks there are on the ship? o_0
@monkeyhanger83 Only 'sad little trekkers' would care enough about Trek to LOOK for continuity errors. There were really only a few genuine errors in this video.. the money is all from alien races so money itself is not a continuity error, however the worth of gold to Ferengi IS an error. The 'never kissed with a beard' is a stupid error that Frakes and Sirtis should have pointed out to the director. Different space suits means no error, but the deck numbers is another STUPID mistake.
Romulan ale was illegal until they became allies (ds9 s7 episode 16) unless somewhere down the line they contradict that. As well, the embargo had been lifted due to them becoming temporary allies during the Dominion wars.
2. Money doesnt exist on earth. They never mention other planets
@SouthernRiprey Problem is that Picard's "24 decks" comment occurs in the same film as the "decks 26 up to 11" comment.....thus your accusation of invalidity is itself invalid.
Just to be clear, this IS an awesome collection of clips. I almost blurted out during the movie that Troi was either a liar or possibly amnesiac. And like I said Trek throughout its history has been fairly inconsistent.
Well Trek's definitely inconsistent. Re: Vulcans, they've clearly shown Vulcans that were a whole lot stronger than humans of the same build. Spock whenever he was raging, the Vulcan that mentally violated T'Pol. I figured the Archer combat was just standard jobbing.
And I actually like the Spock line of millions of light years. I HATE it when random aliens say a human measurement when for example their YEAR ought to be radically different.
Oh come on how could you use the clip at 5:40 to say money exists in Star Trek? The conversation you pulled that from explains why this isn't an error. Jake and Nog talk about how humans specifically don't use money internally on their own planet. It's implied that as earth is the center of the federation that there is therefore no unified currency in the federation but that other races use their own.
At 4:36, later in that same episode they argue over how long it took for the mine's security system to engage. The argument is between whether it took 10 seconds or 20 seconds. The captain declares it 10. The actual time is 46 seconds (if I remember right).
Also, on 3:50, though it's a weak hypothesis, it's possible that Scotty actually beamed himself to safety unintentionally and the one they meet there is a transporter copy, allowing the copy to have been made prior to Kirk's death. This is improbable as that would mean someone would have had to rescue him from the Dyson Sphere and therefore it would have already been charted and known about.
With regard to 2:02, he was fighting a Romulan in disguise. Of course this just replaces the mistake with another one, in TOS it was stated that no Romulan or Human had ever seen the other.
Picard should have said that there's no money in the 24th century ON EARTH. All of those clips were referring to or dealing with an alien culture that DOES use money.
@Jerkwad152 Well that and the writers and FX artists would have trouble putting together dramatic shootouts where the first side to fire wins.
That said, I would love a Trek that DID show what firefights in the future would be like. Where hiding behind a rock would be effective cover...if that meant not being disintegrated and instead you were turned to pasta sauce by the super heated rock that blew up in front of you.
They actually had a retcon about the Scotty thing, While the real reason was because the episode was done about 4 years before the movie, they explained it later that Scotty being in the transporter buffer so long temporarily confused him when he came out. Sort of like temporary amnesia.
About the "Federation doesn't use money" thing, even if that were so and if the Federation has such automation and replication technology to provide all their citizens with food, shelter, luxury products, important labor/careers, and all the things you could ever want, how does the Federation trade with other species like the Cardassians, the Bajorans, or the Ferengi who do use currency? Especially the Ferengi whose life philosophy is based on profit, commerce, and trade?
While that would work with some currency, it wouldn't work with them all. Gold-pressed Latinum was impossible to replicate, that's what made it valuable.
Also, it's likely that replicating money would be like counterfeiting of today. The money wouldn't have been issued by that government or planet, and probably would be seen as fake.
While they said the Federation did not use money, there is referencing to bartering with other species, so some individuals kept forms of money.
@KaiserJames On a large scale no trading would be needed, you've answered your question, the Federation can provide most things just as a matter of course. On a personal basis, it would probably be some form of barter of skills or unreplicatable items (latinum, biomimetic gel, historical items, etc) for the same in return.
Absolute zero is what it says on the tin, absolute. Saying you can go below absolute zero is like saying you can slow down so much that you stop, and then just keep slowing down. :)
For the first mistake: After Wolf 359 the massive influx of new drones that the Cube received caused the Sphere that was docked within the Cube to be sent to the Delta Quadrant with the new drones.
And absolute zero does not mean that no temperature can go below it.
@spoot1smeg I'm actually willing to forgive that one more because it's not like they actually built a ship. While you would hope such a number would be so fresh as to be easily fact checkable by any halfway competent continuity team, it's so new it might have changed halfway through filming for a variety of reasons.
Its fiction. Who cares if its consistent? Plot holes, inconsistency with motivation of characters, unreasonable behavior, bad acting - that's the part that sucks. TNG movies and voyager and enterprise had a lot of that shit. Stuff like negative 294 degrees Celsius probably means their science adviser was on vacation. :) Or they couldn't afford a good one.
I think Nemesis also needs to be erased from existance with Star Trek 5. Another mistake I caught that I didn't see was in Nemesis when they find 6 positronic signatures from B4's body partswas funny since in several TNG episodes it says that the signature only comes from the positronic brain.
@Perion Of course the turbo lift wagon (or what it's called) should have artificial gravity. If the shaft hasn't gravity it is not just more safe, it also saves energy moving the wagon.
the spock error could be that the enterprise explores some planet millions of lightyears away from federation space. who knows. They can travel 990 light years per 12 hours. At that speed they could go out as far as 1000000 light years and be back in 3 years. O.o freaky.
@MrHoppers002 The enterprise can't travel anywhere near that fast. 990 LY per 12 hours = 2000 LY per day = can travel the width of our galaxy in just 50 days. That would have made Voyager a short show..
yeah they can TOS season 3 that which survives. at warp 8.4 and they could hold that speed without the engines going red light. Now you could say the writers of TNG/VOY/DS9 reduced the warp scale so that it would actually take time to go from point A to point B. In the new trek movie which is above even TOS speeds the Enterprise can go 5 lightyears per minute. You think traveling the galaxy in 50 days is fast try 11 days. They could've made it home in like 1 season. lol
@erlendaakre Well a light year is dependent on two things one of which is presumably constant. The length of a YEAR and who's year we're talking about might be the deciding factor.
@rubaiyat300 when talking about light years, one uses "Julian years" instead of "solar years", and julian years are defined as 86400 seconds * 365.25. The SI definition of seconds is that it is the same length as it takes for caesium 133 to do 9 billion "oscillation". So our definition of light years would be the same to everyone. Based on other statements (like Voyager) the federation seems to be using this definition
@erlendaakre And somehow with all that you missed the obvious fallacy, that again all those are arbitrary divisions of time. If we are stating that an alien would likely find the distance light travels in the time of 9,000,000 * 86400 * 365.25 cesium 133 oscillations to be the same as us, great we have an accord. But WHY would an alien use such an arbitrary measure that has ZERO meaning for them? Now clearly Spock's specific case was a gaffe, but especially on Voyager it makes no sense.
@rubaiyat300 A random alien would of course not know to use that completely arbitrary definition. But Spock is a starfleet officer, and it seems starfleet uses that definition (voyager says they are around 70'000 LY from home, which fits with the size of our galaxy).. Why spock would say this to some cave bimbo in the first place on the other hand is another question :D
@erlendaakre I already agreed it's likely a gaffe on Spock (or to be truly fair, the writers). I just stated I liked it, as this was especially a problem on Voyager/Enterprise where most of the aliens WERE random and casual usage of time based on days or units of distance ought to have required at least a little explanation or be prone to potential mistakes.
Then again, Spock WAS raised on Vulcan. It's even possible the alien cave babe's year was the year being used, but obviously not likely.
@rubaiyat300 Just to clarify, my post about definition of light year was just a response to the statement that the length of the year was a deciding factor. I didn't mean to imply it could be used when communicating with anyone (alien species) who does not use that same arbitrary definition.
@erlendaakre Oh, yes I see where the mistake in communication lies (which goes straight to the heart of my point, I guess, if two members of the same species using the same language can have such a misunderstanding). I agree with you of course. I just hated it when such lazy writing was used where such readily obvious concepts as units of time (at least in our vernacular as you rightly pointed out) ought to at least take effort and be prone to mistakes.
@rubaiyat300 Maybe the universal translator does time/length/temperature/etc.. :) I would love if every episode had like 10 minutes of finding a common baseline for measurements with new species, but it might get a bit tiresome in the end.
@erlendaakre Hah! No doubt as a regular thing, but then most of the time, interactions are with "regular" aliens or it never comes up. Heck even a comment like" 7 days ago" probably doesn't require precise translation, it's just when it does that would be interesting (especially a problem on Enterprise, where they are running around meeting new aliens). And you might be right about the UT, though there are several weird cases, such as a Romulan having trouble getting a cold drink of water...
@MrHoppers002 Warp 9.975 can only go about 2.3 Lightyears a day. However...Warp 9.975 cannot be sustained for longer than a day without severe damage to the warp core.
@LivesForJihad Different eras. One era had a journey to the center of the galaxy in mere days, and regular encounters with the "edge" of the galaxy.
It's a soft retcon but it does exist if we are going to nitpick. I feel it's a little too obvious. Like trying to point out the different looks of the Klingons between eras, I think it's just too easy to use as some type of mistake even by the standards of these joke reels.
it does bother me to see the gold thing keep coming up.. its not that gold thats valuable.. its the latinum IN the gold. so when they say gold, its short for 'gold pressed latinum' so when Quark says its just gold, he means its gold without the latinum which is what makes it valuable.
(sorry for the double-post... After doing the SW reference, it occurred to me that a reference to "Chain of Command" from TNG was far more appropriate lol! But seriously, Enterprise doesn't count...)
I have to say..there are two MAJOR discontinuities in Star trek.. 1. In kirks time..they traveled across the galaxy in minutes.. and 2. the Enterprise E always have different amounts of decks. And since there is not too much info or story line on ent. e ..it is hard to even have a frame of reference
also a mistake to the decks thing, the Sovereign-class starship (Enterprise-E) has 24 (or 26 or 29 or something??) decks, and is pretty big compared to the Constitution refit-class (Enterprise-A) which in Star Trek: V goes up to like 84 decks!! I've always been confused by this. [The part when Spock, McCoy, and Kirk go up the turbolift in rocket-boots]
When you take film and tv shows over this span of time you are bound to begin seeing these kind if disconnects because they are different writer teams, editors, and production groups. Our perspective is from a fan view where we see all the shows and films at one time, we have access to them instantly, plus we see things at the end user level. Maybe they cant hire a staff of fact checkers for each show and film, maybe they have a few canon people but they dont catch everything.
I am a trekkie and I can vouch for one of these. Capt. Picard saying "Money doesn't exist in the 24th Century." actually means there is no form of EARTH currency. Now universal currency for the galaxy is different. Thank you.
actually more Scotty(good lad :) ) bets Jim Kirk himself got the Enterprise just for him... but wasn't he in that stupid thing???
YUCK! -Yuck? -I haven't kissed you with a beard before *shows all kiss scenes containing the beard*
Look at that! -Don't you have a moon in the 23rd century -Of course we do just that it looks a lot different ->>>23rd+24th century->same looking moon(btw nice scenes right there)
The latinum was simply from DS9 trying to make up a currency that cannot be replicated. The Ferrangi probably had a hell of recession/inflation event devastate their economy once someone aquired replicator technology form the federation. Afterwards they switched to a new replicator-proof currency.
In all fairness, TNG maintained very good continuity. Unfortunately the excellent writing team from the show had nothing to do with the movies. Almost all of these errors are from the movies (which don't even keep internal consistency) or the follow on spin offs.
The only TNG error was money. TOS was supposed to be a post-capitalism utopia. TNG started like this, but eventually had people living outside the federation in capitalist anarchist societies.
Actually, the deck numbering between First contact and Nemisis canbe explained becasue she did recive a refit with additional torpedo lauchers and such, but as for it happning in the same movie, maybe there are a few maintenece levels thrown in and aren't really considered decks?
@HowardForce According to the Memory Alpha database, the Enterprise-E has been refitted before ST:Nemesis and thus has gotten more decks: "By 2379, the Enterprise-E had undergone at least one refit, including four additional phaser arrays and five additional torpedo tubes. The number of decks was also increased by five to a total of 29."
I have to say... I'm trying to plug the holes, my responses are just possible solutions to the mistakes... some I can't solve like the "I've never kissed you with a beard before", unless it's a paralel dimention (not seen that episode), it makes no sense at all.
8. The average vulcan is 3 times stronger than the average human, doesn't mean you can't have a weak vulcan and a strong human. I'm sure Mike Tyson could beat the shit out of me.
9. Data didn't care about the arrow, it did no damage. Why bother moving?
10. Neutronic wave fronts are not natural, they are artificial as explained in TNG
11. Riker was bluffing about wide beam on phasers.
12. Money is not used on federation worlds, but is used between other less advanced races.
8) Yeah, some wussy vulcan Archer went up against :)
9) the arrow DID damage to a secondary processor.
10) When in TNG is that explained? there is nothing to indicate that they are artificial (when seen on ENT/VOY).
11) Why would he bluff in that situation? A wide beam (stun) was also seen on TOS and we know at high levels phasers can vaporize tons of rock (and that's just the hand held versions).
12) picard forgot to mention that it only applied to the federation.
9. Yeah, but it's only a second processor, who really needs that.
10. They are mentioned as one of the warp travel attempts in episode 5x10, along with the Solition Wave, which is more spectacular because ships can ride them, almost like surfing.
11. Because it was a life or death situation. I'd bluff. Wide beam uses lots of power, and isn't as powerful as he made out, it's why it's rarely used.
8) Yeah it's possible, races that are supposedly good at combat always gets their asses kicked (DS9 ops beats up like 30 klingons during the attack on DS9) :)
9) It's probably there for a reason, he had to check if his coordination was affected, and it was just "luck" that it was not.
11) why shouldn't it be able to "take down" a building? we know it can be set to wide beam, and also it has the power to vaporize huge amounts of rock. Unless they were in a military grade phaser proven structure
8) He was a Romulan, not a Vulcan. While technically the same/similar species, Romulus is not a world with the heavy gravity of Vulcan (which allows them to be faster and stronger than Humans in a 1G Environment), so a Romulan and Human would be on equal footing.
9) When he is aware of the danger, he can dodge, but he did not expect an Arrow from Troi.
10) Nothing says that the phenomenon is natural in Enterprise, but seeing it is impossible.
9) to quote Data, 0.2 seconds is a very long time for him, but appears his head was turned quite a bit.
11) Assume you mean the phaser thing, not Spock's bad astronomy. If I were going into a warzone, I'd carry an extra battery pack, or heck... maybe an extra phaser =)
1) ehm. source? The Borg queen seems to just be a representation of the hive mind. But seems very unlikely that they transfer lowly drones (by which means?) form a cube back to the main base.
8) Romulan? Pretty sure the guys in those episodes (The forge, etc..) were Vulcans. And can't remember Vulcans gravity ever mentioned.. never noticed anything to indicate it was particularly stronger than that of the Earth.
WAIT WAIT WAIT quarks line in little green men was taken out of context. In 20th century earth gold would have been very valuable, whereas in the 24th century latinum was a more valuable commodity
@crimsonninja6995 Ah, that's true, Quark did not seem to want to go back. So the gold would have been considerably more valuable in the 20th century. It does not explain the other inconsistencies on the subject, but nice spot :)
@KylerWyler Celsius and Kelvin are the same scale, just with a constant number of 273.15 added or subtracted. 0 Kelvin = -273.15 C, both those refer to the temperature known as "absolute zero"
Some of these are easily explained, Quarks gold wasn't the latinum he needed, it was probably just fake gold dust. Phasers and Phase pistols are 2 different weapons.
If I was stuck in a transporter buffer for as long as Scotty I'd be a little sluggish too.
And it might not be that easy to see cities/towns in the moon from hundreds of thousands of Miles/Km's away.
Wide field setting on a phaser probably uses up far too much energy.
"probably" fake gold dust? It's not very useful to explain something by using unsubstantiated guesswork.
Riker specifically said you could see the cities on the moon from earth. Therefor it should be even more visible from space without the atmosphere and shorter distance.
When you are being overrun by Jem Hadar is not exactly the right time to be cheap with the batteries. Just bring an extra battery or phaser. Or take the phaser of one of those dead people lying around being unproductive
Obviously, the market prices for gold fluctuate wildly from season to season, and so sometimes gold is worthless, and other times it is quite valuable
@archael18 The fact that you think Malcolm has enough moisture in his spacesuit to generate that amount of ice is a bit disturbing.
Besides, liquids like water boil when put in contact with the vacuum of space. The pressure differential between space and the suit would propel the boiling liquid quickly into space, where it would freeze into thousands of tiny ice drops after a short while.
The worst one is the mistake in the number of decks on the Enterprise since it takes place within the same script. One would think that they would have caught that in notes.
Oh come ON here...everybody knows Scotty suffered from a 0.003% signal degradation while in the pattern buffer--the ONE thing in his entire memory that got scrambled was Kirk bein killed!!! *lol*
The TNG movies were the source of so many freak'n mistakes and slop. I wish the first three were never made, they took a steaming crap on the franchise.
you know what I never under stood is why do they make teh bridge with weak spots like the see through aluminum and why do they put the bridge in vulnerable spot, would it make more sense to put it deep within the ship to keep it safe
@s4m5o Good question. I'm also guessing surge protectors are non exsistant in the future. Think of all the consoles you could prevent from blowing up in your face by spending an extra few bucks for a decent surge protector.
This has been flagged as spam show
Towards the end, that isn't a mistake, that was a new Enterprise.

About the "Federation doesn't use money" thing, even if that were so and if the Federation has such automation and replication technology to provide all their citizens with food, shelter, luxury products, important labor/careers, and all the things you could ever want, how does the Federation trade with other species like the Cardassians, the Bajorans, or the Ferengi who do use currency? Especially the Ferengi whose life philosophy is based on profit, commerce, and trade?

Septimz 8 months ago
@Septimz
While that would work with some currency, it wouldn't work with them all. Gold-pressed Latinum was impossible to replicate, that's what made it valuable.
Also, it's likely that replicating money would be like counterfeiting of today. The money wouldn't have been issued by that government or planet, and probably would be seen as fake.
While they said the Federation did not use money, there is referencing to bartering with other species, so some individuals kept forms of money.
Draknfyre 8 months ago
@KaiserJames On a large scale no trading would be needed, you've answered your question, the Federation can provide most things just as a matter of course. On a personal basis, it would probably be some form of barter of skills or unreplicatable items (latinum, biomimetic gel, historical items, etc) for the same in return.

MrHoppers002 1 year ago

yeah they can TOS season 3 that which survives. at warp 8.4 and they could hold that speed without the engines going red light. Now you could say the writers of TNG/VOY/DS9 reduced the warp scale so that it would actually take time to go from point A to point B. In the new trek movie which is above even TOS speeds the Enterprise can go 5 lightyears per minute. You think traveling the galaxy in 50 days is fast try 11 days. They could've made it home in like 1 season. lol

@erlendaakre Well a light year is dependent on two things one of which is presumably constant. The length of a YEAR and who's year we're talking about might be the deciding factor.
rubaiyat300 5 months ago
@rubaiyat300 when talking about light years, one uses "Julian years" instead of "solar years", and julian years are defined as 86400 seconds * 365.25. The SI definition of seconds is that it is the same length as it takes for caesium 133 to do 9 billion "oscillation". So our definition of light years would be the same to everyone. Based on other statements (like Voyager) the federation seems to be using this definition
erlendaakre 5 months ago
@erlendaakre And somehow with all that you missed the obvious fallacy, that again all those are arbitrary divisions of time. If we are stating that an alien would likely find the distance light travels in the time of 9,000,000 * 86400 * 365.25 cesium 133 oscillations to be the same as us, great we have an accord. But WHY would an alien use such an arbitrary measure that has ZERO meaning for them? Now clearly Spock's specific case was a gaffe, but especially on Voyager it makes no sense.
rubaiyat300 4 months ago
@rubaiyat300 A random alien would of course not know to use that completely arbitrary definition. But Spock is a starfleet officer, and it seems starfleet uses that definition (voyager says they are around 70'000 LY from home, which fits with the size of our galaxy).. Why spock would say this to some cave bimbo in the first place on the other hand is another question :D
erlendaakre 4 months ago
@erlendaakre I already agreed it's likely a gaffe on Spock (or to be truly fair, the writers). I just stated I liked it, as this was especially a problem on Voyager/Enterprise where most of the aliens WERE random and casual usage of time based on days or units of distance ought to have required at least a little explanation or be prone to potential mistakes.
Then again, Spock WAS raised on Vulcan. It's even possible the alien cave babe's year was the year being used, but obviously not likely.
rubaiyat300 4 months ago
@rubaiyat300 Just to clarify, my post about definition of light year was just a response to the statement that the length of the year was a deciding factor. I didn't mean to imply it could be used when communicating with anyone (alien species) who does not use that same arbitrary definition.
erlendaakre 4 months ago
@erlendaakre Oh, yes I see where the mistake in communication lies (which goes straight to the heart of my point, I guess, if two members of the same species using the same language can have such a misunderstanding). I agree with you of course. I just hated it when such lazy writing was used where such readily obvious concepts as units of time (at least in our vernacular as you rightly pointed out) ought to at least take effort and be prone to mistakes.

@erlendaakre Hah! No doubt as a regular thing, but then most of the time, interactions are with "regular" aliens or it never comes up.

In all fairness, TNG maintained very good continuity. Unfortunately the excellent writing team from the show had nothing to do with the movies. Almost all of these errors are from the movies (which don't even keep internal consistency) or the follow on spin offs.
The only TNG error was money. TOS was supposed to be a post-capitalism utopia. TNG started like this, but eventually had people living outside the federation in capitalist anarchist societies.

Some of these are easily explained, Quarks gold wasn't the latinum he needed, it was probably just fake gold dust. Phasers and Phase pistols are 2 different weapons.
If I was stuck in a transporter buffer for as long as Scotty I'd be a little sluggish too.
And it might not be that easy to see cities/towns in the moon from hundreds of thousands of Miles/Km's away.
Wide field setting on a phaser probably uses up far too much energy.
boxa1500 1 year ago
"probably" fake gold dust? It's not very useful to explain something by using unsubstantiated guesswork.
Riker specifically said you could see the cities on the moon from earth. Therefor it should be even more visible from space without the atmosphere and shorter distance.
When you are being overrun by Jem Hadar is not exactly the right time to be cheap with the batteries. Just bring an extra battery or phaser. Or take the phaser of one of those dead people lying around being unproductive

Obviously, the market prices for gold fluctuate wildly from season to season, and so sometimes gold is worthless, and other times it is quite valuable

The suit in Enterprise doesn't have self healing abilities.. it,s the moisture and warmth from inside that turns to ice when it gets out.

@archael18 The fact that you think Malcolm has enough moisture in his spacesuit to generate that amount of ice is a bit disturbing.
Besides, liquids like water boil when put in contact with the vacuum of space. The pressure differential between space and the suit would propel the boiling liquid quickly into space, where it would freeze into thousands of tiny ice drops after a short while.

The worst one is the mistake in the number of decks on the Enterprise since it takes place within the same script. One would think that they would have caught that in notes.

The TNG movies were the source of so many freak'n mistakes and slop. I wish the first three were never made, they took a steaming crap on the franchise.

When I said "TNG movies were the source of so many freak'n mistakes and slop.", I meant all 4 of them.
When I said "I wish the first three were never made", it's because I liked Nemesis, despite it's mistakes.

I actually wished the LAST three movies had never been made. First Contact was pretty good compared to them.

it would make even more sense if they put seatbelts on the chairs so they don't get knocked out of the chair every time a torpedo hits the shields

you know what I never under stood is why do they make teh bridge with weak spots like the see through aluminum and why do they put the bridge in vulnerable spot, would it make more sense to put it deep within the ship to keep it safe

@s4m5o Good question. I'm also guessing surge protectors are non exsistant in the future. Think of all the consoles you could prevent from blowing up in your face by spending an extra few bucks for a decent surge protector.

@s4m5on its wouldn't be a suspenseful :D

@s4m5on I would make the bridge as a small spaceship itself, that is placed in the middle of the ship but can be ejected in an emergency.
