Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) - 97 mistakes in entire show

Continuity: The creators re-did the titles from the third season on, but only from before the shot of the ringed planet, and they didn't make sure they matched. Compare the movement of the stars inside the rings and the star field outside the rings - they move in different directions compared to each other.

Continuity: The view of the starfield in the ship's windows is always inconsistent whenever they are orbiting a planet. Sometimes the stars appear to be moving by, and sometimes they are completely static.

Continuity: When the computer instructs Riker to turn right, he turns to the left.

Revealing: On the very beginning of the second shot of the episode (the shot in engineering showing Picard walking around), the camera seems to shake or wobble. It's pretty obvious that the camera must have hit a part of the set or was bumped by a crew member.

Continuity: When Picard tells Q in the final scene "Get off my ship." Q is standing to his right, and Picard has his head turned towards Q. But when the angle changes to show Q's response, Picard is standing facing Q directly, and without his head turned.

Continuity: When Geordi is put onto a bed in sickbay there are two pillows - when he gets up to leave a little later they have disappeared.

Continuity: When Data brings up a picture of the original Kirk-era Enterprise in conjunction with the log talking about the water-intoxicant, the picture is of the refitted movie-style Enterprise - not the original round-nacelled model that was involved in the events of "The Naked Time."

Continuity: At the very beginning of the Episode, Picard makes a log entry stating that the Enterprise is heading for the USS Tsiolkovsky at warp seven. Subsequent outside shots of the ship show it is traveling at impulse.

Revealing: When Data sits in his post, his neck pips are black and then gold. In the next jump scene when he is in the back of the bridge with his commanders, the pips are reversed.

Continuity: While Troi and Yar are talking while holding hands in Troi's quarters, there is a piece of cloth between their hands in one camera angle, but in another camera angle, there is nothing between their hands.

Continuity: When Picard asks the Ferengi if they are withdrawing their surrender, Yar's arms pop back and forth from folded to extended as the shots change.

Visible crew/equipment: In the episode "where no-one has gone before" from series 1, near the start, just as Riker says "you have all the time you need", the engine consultant stops and turns around. As he does so, look above his head and you can see a microphone hanging down. The camera quickly adjusts so it's not visible any more.

Continuity: Picard addresses the ballerina as ensign, when in fact she has no pips on her uniform, making her a crewman.

Audio problem: When Riker leaves Deanna and Wyart at the holodeck you hear the door. You don't hear it a minute ago, when Wyatt enters the holodeck - he just appears.

Visible crew/equipment: When Riker tells Yar to open a channel to the Jarada, you can see the reflection of a boom mike in the workstation along the back wall behind him.

Continuity: After entering the Holodeck for the 2nd time, a vendor hands a folded piece of paper to Picard, yet Picard receives it unfolded.

Continuity: The lipstick on Picard changes between when he is kissed, and later when he leaves the holodeck (it's darker and on and above his lips.)

Continuity: When the two holographic villains are disintegrating outside the holodeck, there is a corridor opposite the holodeck. When the good guys exit a minute later, there is suddenly a solid wall.

Continuity: After drinking some spiked Champagne from Lore, Data falls backward, yet lands on his face.

Continuity: In this episode, when Riker makes his log entry, he says the stardate is "4124.5," the 4-digit style of stardates from The Original Series, rather than the 5 digit style used in The Next Generation.
