Trivia

The set designers added in small jokes everywhere. On the cross section of the ship near the tactical station, there are small objects in the picture that do not show up on television. (There are mice in the halls, cars in the cargo bay, a duck in a hall and a hypodermic needle in sickbay). In the halls, the red strips labeling the compartments say things like "3 hundred thousand kilometers per second, it's not just a good idea, it's the law, your mileage may vary of course", "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear to be", "A stitch in time saves nine", "In space, no one can hear you scream", and "Don't step on Superman's cape."

Datalore

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.

Edit

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.

Datalore

⇑
⇓

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.

Encounter at Farpoint (1)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Commander Data tells Picard the Saucer Section will arrive in 51 minutes. Riker's synopsis audio can be heard in the background without interruption, and shortly after Data says this, the cameras turn back to Riker and the Video synopsis ends. Riker immediately reports to Picard who then receives the message that the Saucer Section is in orbit. Now, Riker was watching highlights of video footage from the Bridge, of which we see almost all of it because there really wouldn't be that much to view. And that's really all he could watch since we don't have cameras in the "Q-verse" and we see the footage ending with the Q sphere chasing the ship. Also, the entire ordeal was far less than an hour so there's no way a highlight real could take an hour, not to mention the uninterrupted audio. We seem to be missing almost an entire hour.

Edit Time

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

Encounter at Farpoint (2)

⇑
⇓

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.

When The Bough Breaks

⇑
⇓

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

The Big Goodbye

⇑
⇓

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

Edit

The Naked Now

⇑
⇓

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.

Edit

Too Short a Season

⇑
⇓

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.
