Datalore

⇑
⇓

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
⇑
⇓

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.

Angel One

⇓

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 ?

Edit Time

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.

Too Short a Season

⇑
⇓

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.

When The Bough Breaks

⇑
⇓

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

⇓

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.

Coming of Age

⇑
⇓

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

⇑
⇓

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

The Arsenal of Freedom

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Ryker 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

⇑
⇓

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

Edit

⇓

Revealing: In the very beginning shots of the Enterprise, the nacelles are not lit even though the ship is moving.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When the away team encounters the evil oily blob thing, it makes their equipment fly away. Later they have apparently recovered it. But strange things keep happening to Geordi's weapon: when he and the others run forward to rescue Riker, Geordi accidentally drops it in the black pool when he stops abruptly. Admittedly, you can't prove that's a mistake even though it has no purpose in the story. But shortly afterwards the phaser is back on Geordi's belt, clean. Did the sticky, malicious, bullying blob give it back just like that? (People often try and find justifications for mistakes, but in this case, wishful thinking can only give us an extremely unlikely explanation.)

Edit
⇑
⇓

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.

Conspiracy

⇑
⇓

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."
