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

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.

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.

Other: In the opening (just before the title credits roll) Picard and Riker walk to the right of the screen to exit the bridge. Watching Picard's face it is clear that Patrick Stewart has taken over (clear break in character). He seems to be making an open mouth "face" (silent scream?) to someone off camera.

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.

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.

Visible crew/equipment: After Riker talks to Harry and walks to the turbo lift, if you look carefully at the lower right-hand corner of the turbo lift you can see the tripod base of a stage light stand.

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.

Factual error: In nearly every firefight, a Trek character is shown standing in place, then dodging to the side or ducking, and an energy beam hitting exactly where he/she was standing. This is DODGING a beam, not moving randomly to make it more difficult for the firer to hit them. It is not possible to dodge an energy beam as your reflexes would have to be faster than light. The destructive energy of the beam will arrive at the same time as the visible light. So by the time you see it to dodge it it has hit you. Data might be fast enough, but certainly no human is. And while the technology on Trek violates our views on physics (not to mention suspension of disbelief) all the time, a human being will never, at any point in history, be fast enough to dodge an energy beam.

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

Continuity: Several episodes have stardates after this episode, but still have Tasha Yar in them (even though she dies in this episode). They aired before this episode. The series producers later formalized their stardate system so that they take place in the order the episodes air.

Other: When Armus engulfs Riker and then covers the shuttle, shouldn't there be a bulge to show the first officer's position?

Continuity: In the beginning of this episode, Riker orders Geordi(who was navigator at the time) to increase to Warp 6. In response, Geordi replies, "Aye sir, Full Impulse."
