Star Trek: Picard

Remembrance - S1-E1

Other mistake: Picard gives the mysterious girl some Earl Grey. She has it in hand only in one shot, the faraway one when the two Romulan servants are leaving. The way the scene goes, at no point during the whole scene does she have time to even take a sip. (00:19:05)

Sammo

Watcher - S2-E4

Other mistake: The show is supposed to take place in the same timeline as Next Generation, but the presence of a young Guinan in 2024 who has never met Picard before contradicts the TNG Season 5 finale, Time's Arrow, where Picard met Guinan (looking like Whoopi Goldberg, who also appears here) in the XIX century. When asked about this contradiction, show writer Terry Matalas said that the Federation actually never happened since the 'future' was changed by Q's actions, so Picard never traveled back in TNG meeting her. However, that is never referenced in the actual episode or the season finale, and would create other paradoxes, especially since in the very same episode there is a reference to Star Trek IV. The same punk from back then rubs nervously his neck remembering Spock's nerve pinch; the TOS cast would have not visited XX century Earth in the way shown in the movie if the Federation never came into existence.

Sammo

Farewell - S2-E10

Other mistake: When Tallinn dies, not only she is killed through a neurotoxin made in 2024 by a human, for humans, through a patch that the killer carelessly touches himself (we have to be generous and assume he developed some antidote to it) and somehow they can't cure with their advanced tech, but her eyes become bloodshot with visible red blood vessels. Romulan blood is green.

Remembrance - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning, the camera zooms into the Enterprise through a view that shows 3 windows of equal size. In the rest of the scene, Jean-Luc Picard and Data are playing poker in front of two side windows and a central window that is wider than the other two combined. (00:00:30)

Et in Arcadia Ego: Part 2 - S1-E10

Trivia: The ships that Riker arrives with are all identical, explained away with the line "I've got a fleet of them at my back." That line's delivered without seeing Riker's face, because it was recorded afterwards. The effects work was only completed shortly before the episode was released, and they didn't have time to create a variety of ships, leading to this "shortcut."

Show generally

Question: How do the "door transporters" outside Starfleet work? People just seem to walk straight into them and vanish, a) faster than normal transporters, and b) without any indication they're controlling where they're going. There's no sign saying where each door connects to, are people just hoping for the best?

Jon Sandys

Chosen answer: My guess is that they go to 1 place and they can't chose where to go. Like a highway without exits, you just end up where the highway stops.

Answer: I assume they get sent directly from those 'Doors' to a Central Transporter hub, from there they can request to be beamed to their desired destination.
