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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
