Trivia

In the scene where Kira and Dr. Bashir are talking, she points to her pregnant stomach and says "This is all your fault, you know" referencing that Bashir was the one who transplanted Keiko's baby into Kira. This is an inside joke, because in reality Alexander Siddig and Nana Visitor were an item, and Siddig was indeed the father of her baby. See more...

A Man Alone (season 1, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Aron Eisenberg's name is misspelled on-screen as Aron Eisenerg.

Edit Submitted by Craig Wilson Picture Time

Q-Less (season 1, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: As Chief O'Brian closes the floor panel in the runabout, a mic pole and chord are visible on the left side of the screen behind Sisko.

The Passenger (season 1, episode 9)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: In episode 'The Passenger', when the Koblian officer opens Vantika's eyes to run a retinal scan, his pupils dilate, despite the fact that he is dead.

Edit Submitted by MoonFaery
⇑
⇓

Deliberate "mistake": The dying Vantika hides his consciousness away in a portion of Dr. Bashir's mind. At one point, "Bashir" (heavily cloaked in clothing and shadows) comes up behind Quark and makes sure his demands are clear. At this point, it should still be unclear just how Vantika is still "alive", and whose body he is using. However, when he shoves Quark away, for a fraction of a second, Bashir's face can be seen under his hood. They were true to plot in using the right actor (though he shouldn't have been seen), it is possible some might have spied the secret earlier than the show meant to reveal it.

Edit

Dramatis Personae (season 1, episode 18)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: At the end of the episode, Odo has sent everyone affected by the telepathic matrix to a cargo bay. Sisko and O'Brien remove their com badges, throwing them aside before heading to the bay. After everyone is cured, Sisko straightens back up and, in the closeup, you can see that he has a badge on. In the next closeup, its gone again.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Kira is explaining to Jadzia in Quark's that she wants to get rid of Sisko, she is wearing her Bajoran earring in her right ear. When she picks Quark up by his collar a couple of shots later, the earring is gone.

Edit

Melora (season 2, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Jadzia and Melora are in the runabout talking about relationships, Jadzia mentions having to go back 150 years for a Starfleet relationship; when it cuts to Melora the boom mic can be seen coming in through the front window.

Rules of Acquisition (season 2, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: The originally-aired version spelled the word "Acquisition" without the "c" and it appeared in the credits as "Aquisition." This goof has been corrected in the DVD versions.

Edit Submitted by Good Job!

The Die is Cast (2) (season 3, episode 21)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Earlier in the season, it was established that the Jem'Hadar are genetically engineered to be loyal to the Changelings, meaning they will not deliberately harm them. With that in mind, the Changelings still care about Odo's well being despite his refusal to return to them. So why didn't the Lovok Changeling send a message to the Jem'Hadar ships to inform them that a Changeling was going to be on the runabout? Given that he took time to offer another chance to return to his people, you would think he'd take time to make sure he returned to the station safely.

Edit

The Way of the Warrior (2) (season 4, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: During the fight in Ops, the laws of physics takes a slight dive. While Worf is fighting the Klingons, he hits them with his Bat'leth or his mek'leth, and a second later they react to the hit.

Edit

Little Green Men (season 4, episode 8)

⇑
⇓

Other: Shortly after Quark, Rom and Nog arrive on Earth in the 20th century, just after they are observed through the one-way glass by the Army officers, the Captain in the hat who enters the room with the man in the suit to interrogate the Ferengi is wearing his rank bars on his shirt collar horizontally, parallel to his collar. The two bars of an Army Captain's rank should be worn vertically.

Edit

Our Man Bashir (season 4, episode 10)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: As is typical for Star Trek maps of the world, New Zealand is missing from Dr. Noah's map of the world before anything is flooded. The Australian state of Tasmania is missing as well.

Edit Submitted by Douglasac Time

Homefront (1) (season 4, episode 11)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: It's surprising that Joseph Sisko is still alive at this point in the series. In previous episodes, Ben seemed to imply his father was deceased. In "Emissary" and "Paradise", he said his father WAS a gourmet chef (which is still his current occupation in this episode). And in a conversation with Odo in "The Alternate", Ben told him of how his father had a severe illness that made him very weak and he was unable to help him in the end.

Edit

Rules of Engagement (season 4, episode 18)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the scene where Dax is being questioned by the Klingon lawyer, Captain Sisko is shown having only 3 pips, or the rank of commander.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: During Worf's questioning, Worf switched from being a Lt. Commander (2.5) pips and a commander (3) pips several times.

Edit

Broken Link (season 4, episode 26)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: During the fight between Garak and Worf near the end of the episode, a Jefferies tube door is knocked out of its frame to reveal the end of the set - a dark room with a wooden scaffold and various other pieces of equipment. (Slow-mo helpful but not required)

Edit

Doctor Bashir, I Presume? (season 5, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: In the scene in Sisko's office where he has contacted Rear Admiral Bennett, Bennett says "Two hundred years ago, we tried to improve the species through DNA resequencing, and what did we get for our trouble? The Eugenics Wars." This puts the wars in the 22nd century, and differs from every other mention of them, where they occurred in the late 20th century, not the 22nd century as Bennett implies.

Edit Submitted by Douglasac Time
⇑
⇓

Factual error: When Captain Sisko introduced the head of JAG to Bashir's parents, he pronounced "Rear Admiral Bennett" but Bennett was wearing the rank of Admiral (2 X 4 pips enclosed) instead of Rear Admiral (2 X 2 pips enclosed).

Edit

A Simple Investigation (season 5, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Arissa is first interviewed in Odo's office, she displays a 'data port' that is embedded below and behind her left ear in her upper neck. Her hair is styled to make it visible, and the port seems to be there for the entire scene, tho almost completely obscured at times. The second time she's in Odo's office, her hair style is the same, making it very obvious the port has now vanished, and it's gone the entire scene. For the third visit to Odo's office, the port appears and disappears at random. Apparently this scene was comprised of shots from the two separate shoots that made up the first two office scenes.

Revealing: When Odo and Arissa are talking in Odo's quarters, you can see where the star field ends and where the sound stage floor begins.
