Captain Picard: In his quest to be more like us, he helped show us what it means to be human.

Mistakes

When Picard, Data and Worf are on the planet, just a few shots after they leave the shuttle, Picard drives a sharp left curve. If you look at him in this shot, it is not Patrick Stewart sitting on the driver's seat, but his stuntman, who is not even wearing goggles. See more...

Trivia

In the scene where Picard and Data are reviewing a tactical display that shows the location of five Federation vessels near enough to render assistance, the last ship on the list is the USS Archer, likely named after Capt. Jonathan Archer, commander of the USS Enterprise NX-01 in the current TV series 'Enterprise'. See more...

Entry Data sacrifices himself at the end to save Picard and the crew. In the final episode, "All Good Things" where Picard keeps going back and forth through time, Data is in the future era where Picard is an Ambassador/old man. Unless B-4 actually becomes Data (which can be determined by the singing), Data should not exist in those sequences of "All Good Things" [Time travel stories are rarely cut-and-dried. Q showed Picard a possible future; it doesn't mean that it's the future that will eventually become the real one - indeed, as Picard has now seen that possible future, he may well take have already taken steps towards avoiding it, either consciously or unconsciously. Equally, your built-in correction may well be correct - that Data's memories "woke up" in B-4, effectively resurrecting the character.]

Entry How is it that Shinzon (Picard's clone), has the same accent? Accents are learned environmentally, and are not genetic. It's stated that Shinzon was shipped off at an early age when the plans to replace Picard were scrapped. So where did he learn the accent? [In order to replace Picard, he would have to educated like Picard. Whatever means were used to educate the clone could have included the accent (if you are beaming thoughts into someone's head, it shouldn't be to hard to adjust the accent on that inner voice they hear).]

Entry If we are to believe Picard's comment that Doctor Soong was being whimsical in naming the prototype android "B-4," then we must accept that Doctor Soong had some foreknowledge of the future - he had to have known it would work and he would be constructing other androids. It's akin to finding a coin stamped "100 B.C." [If Soong chooses to name a prototype "B-4", he's not mystically foretelling the future, he's merely displaying a (justifiable) degree of confidence in his own ability, telling himself that it's going to work. And, given that B-4 is the prototype, of course his eventual goal would be to build further models. What else does one do after creating a successful prototype? This is nothing more than confidence and Soong's whimsical sense of humour.]

Entry The Enterprise-E only has 24 decks (stated in First Contact), so the Remans can't be on Deck 29. [Enterprise goes through a number of modifications between "First Contact" & "Nemesis", including having the warp nacelle pylons moved forward, the connections between the saucer section & the engineering hull modified & phaser arrays & torpedo tubes modified to account for blind spots (you can see the differences on screen at times). Extra decks could have been added at the same time.]
Time
Entry In the scene where Deanna Troi uses her telepathic ability to find the Scimitar, she has her hand on Worf's. You notice she is only wearing one ring on her wedding finger. In a later scene where Picard orders her to ram the Scimitar, it is clear she is wearing several on her finger. When did she have time to get them? [She is wearing two rings the whole time: a smooth, small ring (typical wedding ring) and a bigger, ornated ring. In the first scene they are only so close together they look like one ring, but you can tell there are two because the smaller one is darker and more shiny than the big one and glares more and different.]
Time
Entry During the shot of the Enterprise-E tearing through the shuttlebay on the Reman Warbird, you can see a Reman who gets crushed between two Scorpion class shuttles on the centre-right as they collide. However, when that debris clears, the Reman is nowhere to be seen. [There are massive forces working and if they can push away a Scorpion that easily it is very plaussible that an much lighter Reman is also pushed away, even faster but is pressed against the Scorpion and so outside of sight while pushed away.]
Time
Entry When Dr. Crusher is explaining to Picard about Shinzon's aging process, she explains about temporal RNA. But a few seconds later, watch her mouth as she says RNA - the voice over says DNA. [No, she does say DNA and so is the movement of the lips.]
Time
Entry Right before Picard and Data fly out of the shuttle bay you see a group or Remens firing on the shuttle bay doors standing in a tight formation. The camera angle changes and they are now spread out. [They are still in the same formation, but from behind it only appears less tight than from the side.]
Time
Entry During the desert chase scene, Picard and Data lose, then regain their sunglasses. [They don't wear them when they start driving, but while and after backing up and turn around you don't see what they are doing. They could easily put them back on in that time.]
Entry Why would the Remans chose to name their battleship 'Scimitar' after a Terran weapon? Even though Shinzon was cloned from Picard's DNA, he does not seem to have Picard's memories. [Why do they speak English at all? By suspension of disbelief, we accept that the Romulans/Remans speak in a language the viewers understand. Under this rule, it is highly likely that the ship was named after a Romulan/Reman weapon, that resembled an Earth scimitar. Hence, the name is "translated" for our benefit.]

Entry When Shinzon begins to descend the staircase in the meeting chamber in which he first meets the away team, he raises the light level, causing the Viceroy to step back into the shadows, because Remans are sensitive to light. But when the meeting is over, the Viceroy walks back up the steps with Shinzon before Shinzon tells the computer to lower the light level again, with no ill effects. It actually appears that the light had already been lowered, and didn't change again after Shinzon's order. [The Remans are only sensitive to light due to them spending several years underground, it does not kill them. Most likely the viceroy's eyes would hurt when he stepped into the light, but he chose to ignore the pain so that he could accompany Shinzon after the meeting with the Enterprise crew was completed.]

Entry Data and Picard escape the Scimitar aboard the hijacked scorpion and then were beamed aboard the Enterprise. Shortly after this, Data is speaking to B-4. How did B-4 get aboard the Enterprise? [B-4 never made it off the Enterprise, Data went in his place after figuring out what was going on.]
Entry When Picard enters the bridge of the Scimitar, he hits a Reman with his Phaser rifle. The Reman drops and Picard sees that the rifle is broken from the impact. In "Insurrection" we saw Worf hit a metal probe with a similar rifle, and his rifle remained intact. Apparently weapons of the future are somewhat weaker then ours and while they can easily withstand the impact with a metal probe, the impact on a Reman skull is too much and it breaks. [There are several possible explanations. Not all phaser rifles are the same, Worf may have had a stronger model (or even one customised for him to use as a mele weapon). The probe in Insurrection was most likely only covered with a very thin alloy and easily broken (they're not made for battle, merely to hover about). The Reman's skull may be incredibly thick, or maybe Picard's rifle was already damaged somewhat.]

Entry When investigating the 'positronic radiation', Picard and his merry men visit the planet of a PRE-WARP civilisation without even the slightest attempt of being discrete. They show off and make a lot of noise, they do not use any sort of camouflage, they engage in combat with the natives, etc. They don't seem to have even bothered to check whether there were any natives near the positronic emanations - the chaingun-wielding ATV drivers take them by surprise. Whatever happened to the Prime Directive ? [They knew from their scans that there were no settlements near the source of the radiation. The natives took them by surprise, granted, but what were they supposed to do, stand around and be killed by them?]
Entry At one point Data comments that Reman is a difficult language, and we see several examples of Reman language and writing, so why is it at the end, when Picard is aboard the Reman vessel, all of the announcements are in English? [Picard's universal translator is translating them for him (and, by extension, us).]

Entry In the scene at the beginning where Picard is toasting Troi and Riker's wedding, we see a wide shot of the crew. Wesley is on the far left of his mother. In the wide shot, he isn't there, and then immediately after in a closer shot he is back again. [Wesley remains there the whole time.]
Entry In the beginning scene at the Romulan Senate, a rebel agent leaves a bomb which kills the whole Senate. Since it has been well-established in the various Star Trek series that Romulans are a devious race with lots of unsavory political dealings going on, why did they not become suspicious of the strange bright red object hurriedly left unattended? And why didn't they think to call security until the thing had already given off a minute-long lightshow which ended up to be toxic? [They probably stared in amazement for the same reason that people stare at burning buildings.]
Entry Wesley Crusher appears at Troi and Riker's wedding wearing a Starfleet dress uniform. However, just before he joined the Traveler, he resigned his commission as a Starfleet Cadet (and would have probably been drummed out of the service anyway, based on his actions during that episode). Then why is he wearing a Starfleet uniform eight years later? [Maybe he returned to the academy, just like when people drop out of college but return a few years later.]
Entry When Data and Picard are zooming around the Scimitar inside a stolen Scorpion craft, why don't they blow disrupter holes throughout the entire ship, thereby crippling it? A Scorpion is much more than a match for any of the Remen warriors walking around with disrupter rifles. [I'm sure that Picard and Data are more interested in escaping with their lives than inflicting damage on the Reman ship.]
Entry When the viewscreen of the Enterprise is blown away, leaving just a hole in the hull for the crew to look through, all you can see is space. The bridge of the Enterprise is on the top of the saucer section. You would have been able to see half of the saucer section from that hole. [This would be true only if the bridge were on the same level as the entire saucer section. The bridge is in fact on an elevated portion in the center of the saucer section. It would be like looking out the window of a 10 story building. You could see things far away from the building, but in order to see buildings that are short and close to the building you're in, you would need to walk up to the window and look straight down.]
