The Big Goodbye (season 1, episode 12)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Picard looks out the window of the Dixon Hill office he sees the cars passing by each other, the traffic light is right in front of the window as if the entire building is not only in the middle of the street but only one story high.

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.)

Datalore (season 1, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

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

Edit
⇑
⇓

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.

⇓

Continuity: Near the end of the episode, right after Lore fires the phaser at Dr. Crusher, Data tackles Lore and knocks the phaser out of Lore's hand. The phaser flies towards the cargo transporter and when it impacts, it breaks in two. You can see a piece of it go flying off to the left. Then shortly after when Data throws Lore onto the transporter pad and Lore picks up the phaser, it's in one piece again.

Character mistake: At the end of the episode, after Lore has been defeated, Picard asks Data if he is O.K. Data replies, "I'm fine." One of the plot points of this episode is that Data cannot use contractions.

Edit

Angel One (season 1, episode 14)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Data calculates the time to reach the Neutral Zone in time by assuming maximum warp speed. After the solution, in the last minutes, Picard orders only warp six. With this speed, they won't get there in time. Aren't they in a hurry anymore ?

Visible crew/equipment: When Riker goes to meet Beata, they sit on the bed together drinking something. As Beata puts her glass down, a hand in the lower right-hand corner reaches for it and removes it for her.

Continuity: Watch when Geordi on the bridge calls up Dr. Crusher in Sick Bay. There's a white-haired medical assistant working on someone behind Geordi. Then when Dr. Crusher responds to Geordi's page, the same assistant is down in Sick Bay with her. Then they cut back to Geordi and the assistant is back up on the bridge again.

Continuity: When Beata tells Riker that he attracts her like no other man, her hand disappears from his neck.

Too Short a Season (season 1, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Other: About two minutes into the episode, in a scene where Riker and Picard go to meet admiral Jameson in the transporter room, just as they are about to enter the turbolift Picard opens his mouth really wide as if making a funny face to someone inside the turbolift. Although it was filmed from the side it is quite easy to spot.

⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Yar and Worf prepare to cut through the wall beneath the capital city, you can see the flash-powder cord before they shoot and the phaser beams get F/X'd in.

Edit

When The Bough Breaks (season 1, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: After finishing his talk with Harry, Riker continues to walk into the Turbolift. A leg from a light stand can be seen in the lower right hand corner as Riker walks into the lift.

⇓

Continuity: When Wesley is being introduced to the Companion, the camera zooms in to see the entire console up on the full screen with NO hands on it, but when it cuts to a side view, Radue's wife's hands are on the console.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Audio problem: Riker's lips don't match what he is saying when we hear Riker's statement of being surprised when Tasha hasn't heard of the stories of Aldea.

Edit

Coming of Age (season 1, episode 19)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: On his way to the Farewell party, Picard is seen wearing his dress uniform, but no pips on it. There should be four.

Edit

Heart of Glory (season 1, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Worf addresses Klingon captain K'Nera, a microphone dips into the shot over Worf's head.

The Arsenal of Freedom (season 1, episode 21)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Riker decides an away team must transport to the planet's surface to search for weapons. The Enterprise's sensors could easily (and safely) assess this from space. Data scans for life forms and finds none, so their scanners are working - but they don't even attempt a sensor scan for weapons before racing off to the transporter room. Nor is there any mention or indication that the Enterprise couldn't penetrate any shielding hiding the weapons. Sloppy scriptwriting.

Skin of Evil (season 1, episode 23)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene, just before Picard comes out of his room, you can see the shadow of the boom microphone.
