Empok Nor - S5-E24

Visible crew/equipment: During the last scene in the infirmary, Bashir has a word with O'Brien about Garak's condition. Then, just as O'Brien walks towards Garak, on the console's reflective surface, we can see the reflection of the moving boom mic (beside the ceiling's black stripe pattern) at the bottom of the screen. (00:42:50)

In The Cards - S5-E25

Visible crew/equipment: After Kai Winn grasps Sisko's ear to feel his pagh, it soon cuts to Jake delivering half the items to Dr. Giger, and when Giger removes the chip that Jake brought on the cart, the actor's yellow tape mark is visible on the floor near Giger's consoles. (00:31:00)

Super Grover

Sacrifice of Angels - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: In the shot following the Galaxy-class "tag team" on a Cardassian ship, a Miranda-class ship can be seen swooping right to left and then suddenly freezes due to a rendering error.

Resurrection - S6-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When Bareil enters his quarters and finds Intendant Kira dressed like Major Kira, just as Intendant Kira walks towards Bareil, in the mirror we can see the reflection of a crew member wearing a white shirt and shorts. (00:36:55)

Super Grover

The Reckoning - S6-E21

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, during the briefing in the wardroom, everyone walks over to the table. And just as Sisko finishes saying, "The Seventh Fleet will be engaging the enemy in the morning," a white tape mark becomes visible on the floor at the actor's feet. (00:00:20)

Super Grover

Valiant - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When the runabout is shot by the Dominion ship, Jake is sitting in the left seat, but when he is thrown off his chair by an explosion, he is on the right seat. (00:09:10)

Apollo

Valiant - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: In sickbay, when Nog walks over to Collins, he takes her hand and returns his gold Red Squad pin. In the closeup, Collins has a long, manicured thumbnail, but in the next shots facing Nog, Collins has short fingernails. (00:43:15)

Super Grover

Valiant - S6-E22

Other mistake: Nog is promoted to Lieutenant Commander but is given the rank insignia of a Lieutenant junior grade.

Image in the Sand - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: Just before Ezri's first appearance (at Sisko's on Earth), notice the strap for the bag slung across Benjamin's father's shoulder. First it is twisted on his shoulder, then flat, then twisted, then flat again.

It's Only a Paper Moon - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When every senior staff officer is in the conference room, watch Dax's rank pips. They change places from a shot to another, going (mentioning from left to right on her collar) from black-gold to gold-black and coming back to black-gold. (00:16:25)

Field of Fire - S7-E13

Visible crew/equipment: After Joran supposes that he'll have to make himself more endearing, he suggests to Ezri that she visit the two victims' quarters to find answers. At the start of the next shot, the reflection of the boom operator holding up the boom pole is visible on the glass of the framed photo. (00:29:45)

Field of Fire - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: As the episode begins, Ilario was referred to as an Ensign by Bashir and Dax. When he was found murdered the next morning, Odo referred to him as Lieutenant Ilario.

Suggested correction: Bashir refers to him as Lieutenant Junior Grade while making his toast. Ilario's rank insignia are that of a Lt (JG).

When Dax and Kira talk about getting him back to his quarters, Dax says it's not the fist time she's escorted a drunk Ensign home.

Penumbra (1) - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: Throughout this episode you will notice that Ezri Dax's pips change. One moment she has two full pips on her collar and at other times, only one is filled in while the other remains black.

Defiant

'Til Death Do Us Part (2) - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: When the Breen fling Dax into the cell after interrogating her, she (the stunt woman) lands front-down, facing her left side, with her left knee raised. (To clarify her body position, if she were vertical, it would appear her left foot was resting on the seat of a chair) The camera angle changes instantly so that we see Worf rush to her side as he kneels on one knee. But that knee is on the ground exactly where Dax's knee should still be. But it isn't, because both her legs are suddenly straight. (00:32:40)

Strange Bedfellows (3) - S7-E19

Continuity mistake: When Dukat pours wine (in close-up) for himself and Adami, the glasses each contain very different amounts of wine as he puts the bottle down. But in the wider shot, he hands Adami her glass while holding his own, and both appear to have the same amount of wine. (00:16:30)

Extreme Measures - S7-E23

Other mistake: Sloan arrived at the station to destroy the cure, and he and Bashir discuss the fact Sloan has to know what it is to be able to find it in Bashir's lab to be able to get rid of it. Sloan counters he could destroy the whole lab, and Bashir dismisses this as not subtle enough for Sloan. Obviously they've both forgotten that Bashir has perfect memory, so he'd need to be killed to get rid of the cure as well, not just destroy the lab. Something which Bashir would have brought up to back his point up, or Sloan could have used to defend his idea, destroying the lab with Bashir inside, getting rid of both.

Suggested correction: Sloan certainly knew what he was looking for. Bashir found the cure in Sloan's mind.

Suggested correction: It doesn't matter that he may have had to kill Bashir, the point still stands. Sloan didn't know what he was looking for, and he would rather not destroy everything. If he had to kill Bashir, he would at least wait until he was certain any existing samples of a cure and any remaining research towards it had been destroyed. At this point in the conversation, it is completely irrelevant.

Suggested correction: The issue here is that Bashir doesn't have the cure. He lured Sloan to the station to find the cure. Killing Bashir does nothing as he doesn't have the cure.

The Way of the Warrior (1) - S4-E1

Julian Bashir: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle!
Elim Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.
