This is actually an easter egg rather than and error, and the only one I have ever spotted. In Star Trek :First Contact, when they have to spacewalk and modify the deflector dish, the control panel they mess with is the AE35 unit. The AE35 unit was the thing astronauts Frank Poole & Dave Bowman had to go and fix in the film 2001:A Space Odyssey.
Fantastic!
Good catch. I saw that and it looked familiar but I forgot to look it up!
Yep. I've been a "2001" fan since it's release at the theaters when I was like 12 years old. When I saw "First Contact" at the theater, I said to my wife "Open the Pod Bay doors, HAL" and she nudged me and told me to shut up. LOL.
NICE!
Does that mean 2001 is Star Trek Canon?^^
I feel it's a stretch to call un/attached earlobes a mistake. I've watched that film 10 times and never even considered the kids earlobes being different from Quinto's. When they use a kid to portray the younger version of a character. You just have to ignore those kind of mild differences.
It's not even that noticeable. I had never noticed it before.
As fun as it can be to point out funny gaffes once an a while, I think one where you have to freeze frame, turn the image on its side, squint, and take two minutes of looking is a bit of a stretch (Registry).
"Its both incredibly obvious"...
I mean, I've been looking at the paused screen and still don't see it. WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS REGISTRY?!? (And since two vessels are shown on the panel, are we sure its not the Vengeance or whatever?)
I'v been doing the same thing, and I still can't see it!!!!!!!!!!!
It's on the left side of the image, smaller ship, next to the port nacelle, incredibly faint. Tilt your head to the right, it *does* say NCC0514.
@Michael Bravo Much effort, appreciated. So not only is the highlighted thing so faint all that has to be done to read it, it's not even correct :P
Yeah, this right here.
In the 90's I knew a guy that was a continuity person on sets (I think it was for Nash bridges at the time). He used a polaroid camera and a huge binder to keep track of things.
As a filmmaker, can confirm. Polaroids were still used well after camera phones, as earlier cell phones caused audio interference on recording devices when left on and roaming. They are still used, but smaller, less "secret" productions use digital cameras now, but are a risk factor for leaked stills.
@@8Biit SCTV also used Polaroids to get recurring characters right.
I always thought that the field gear Kirk and Chekov wear in Beyond were tightly packed away in the pod with the rest of any survival gear, accessible only once the pod was vacated on a planet surface. We just don't see a scene of them getting the stuff out. (As for how the clothes fit anyone who might be inside, look at the future clothes of Back to the Future Part II!)
YES THANK YOU. It is not even a far stretch, but quite obvious. We see Chekov picking up utilities in that seen. It is obvious that these escape pods are loaded with survival gear: tech, rations, weapons and of course: suitable away mission uniforms. If anything you could argue that they are lucky to have uniforms that fit as well as they do but come on....the uniforms are in the pods.
If there's anything wrong about those scenes than it has to be Scott if I remember correctly he doesn't use a pod he uses a torpedo and I don't know but I doubt that torpedoes are equipped with survival gear 😉
Just saying 🇧🇻
I like that when there is a small error, like "crap, we said one number here and a different number there", fans will immediately assume that it was never a mistake and actually showcases that starships have additional super secret decks used by ambassadors and dignitaries to snort Romulan wine or something.
I don’t know if I’d consider that last one a mistake. I mean, I just assumed the pods had some kind of compartment for a survival kit that included a change of clothes (y’know, like the escape pod Kirk used in the ‘09 movie).
I was gonna say, we didn't see them actually _landing_ in the pods, only after. It's not unreasonable that they'd change into the, likely more durable and practical, away mission uniforms if they had time.
sure. you can even see them equip their stuff after landing. i guess they changed to the away mission uniform shortly before that. no mistake here...
yeah I got to agree, we mostly see the top of the pod on the bridge, its not impossible there is some storage at the bottom
Or teleporter buffer that changes his clothes for him using beam tech
I was gonna say that they changed as well, aye.
Valtane obviously did have a twin, as we later found out he died during this movie. In the 30th Anniversary episode, "Flashback" on Star Trek Voyager, a big part of the plot sees Valtane die after his console explodes in a Klingon attack. However, at the end of this movie, Valtane is clearly seen standing with his shipmates on the Excelsior bridge at the end!
Well, he was possessed by an evil alien who then took over Tuvok for 100 years, so I bet that makes him invinceable? :D
I feel like the writers of "Flashback" didn't watch Star Trek VI so much as look at production skills. In Trek VI, Spock mentions the Praxis explosion happened several months ago. Yet Tuvok tells Janeway the Klingon attack on the Excelsior was days later. There are other inconsistencies too.
Maybe it was a pilot episode for the new series: Weekend at Valtanes! See the hijinks as dead Valtane goes on away missions w his goofy lower deck sidekicks!
Speaking of the deck numbers, I remember watching that one in the theater and noticing that they pass deck 52 twice.
Yup, that seldom gets mentioned but you remember correctly. It's silly, just silly.
Yep i wanted to say that but i thought other trekkies would have done so, i was right
@@mamasnightmare1 - It is one of the most not mentioned of all of the goofs and, for the life of me, I have never understood why.
Also, why aren't rocket boots standard equipment for all away missions?
And people thought the recent Tardis Tubolift/shaft scene in Discovery was bad...
That entire movie was a mistake.
I think one screw-up that should be given at least an honorable mention is in the 1980's US television world premiere and the VHS Special Edition release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A scene not included in the theatrical release, but added back in for the premiere and the Special Edition was one where, after Spock left the ship, Kirk put on a spacesuit and went after him. The scene shows Kirk exiting the airlock. The audience could see the airlock and several feet of the hull surrounding it----then a big blank space where a matte painting was originally meant to go. A sizable portion of the image that was supposed to be there was filled with nothing but scaffolding. And this was aired on national TV. OOPS!
And Kirk was wearing a different design of spacesuit in that clip from the one we see him wearing when he catches Spock, in particular the helmet.
well and the extended TV cut of David Lynch's "Dune" had scenes with the Fremen without their blue glowing eyes. Extended TV versions had no standards at all... they only had to be longer. No matter how.
I caught that as a kid, and naively assumed it was a part of the ship we didn't recognize for whatever reason. Now, the matte painting when they walk out of the Enterprise that looked partially melted on the other hand, I had no explanation for.
@@thomasloney612 I recall seeing hanging stage lights in that scene as well, which were totally out of place on a starship. :)
Oopsie
"The borg were so greedy to assimilate, that they build two more decks!" :D
Well, the Borg are known for aggressive expansion :D :P
No 5, it's just that decks 27, 28, and 29 aren't mentioned until Nemesis in dialog
While 5 is a little harder to explain, I can share my headcannon for 2 extra levels. The lowest deck on naval destroyers is just the sonar dome. I went down there on rare occasion, but it was inaccessible 99% of the time and only really mattered to one division, so most of the crew could be forgiven for forgetting it existed. Unless they were studying for their ESWS board, most of the crew probably wouldn't think of it if asked how many decks the ship had. Could be a similar situation with the enterprise. There are two decks down at the very bottom that house some sort of machinery and humans normally don't go into, so, unless you owned some of the gear down there, you probably wouldn't even consider them if someone asked how many decks there were.
@@achristiananarchist2509 Hi ACA,
Thanks for your answer, but the Person in First Contact who is mentioning the amount of decks is noone less, than the Captain, bragging with the size of his great ship. And a Captain always knows the exact size of his ship.
@@achristiananarchist2509 Hi ACA,

You don't have to try that hard to explain the decks on the Enterprise E. The last building I worked in had 18 floors, the top one being floor 20. There was no 2nd floor because the 1st floor was two floors tall and the 13th floor was skipped by convention.
A logical reason why the Enterprise could have 24 floors numbered down to 26 is that there could be two double-tall (or one triple-tall) floor and the numbering accounts for that. It's obviously a goof, but it doesn't require gymnastics to explain in-universe.
But what about floor 29 and the abyss below in Nemesis? Nothing in the deck plans can explain THAT 😂
Nobody expected Quinto to play Spock? C'mon, when I first saw him in the 3rd season of "24" my first thought was "A Vulcan is working at the CTU now."
Thought the same thing watching him back in Heroes.
@@ChristmasLore I came here to say that! 😆
@@ChristmasLore when he and Kirk got into that tussle on the bridge, I half expected him to go all Sylar on his ass and telekinetically split Kirk's skull open lol
The other funny thing about the turbolift scene is that they don't even use numbers to designate decks in the TOS movies, they use letters. Deck A, Deck B, Deck C etc.
Actually by the plans they use both, which is a common nautical practice, with each numbered level being divided into lettered sections. On some vessels these lettered decks will be consecutive across the ships levels and often denote specific tasks and uses, on others they will repeat on each deck.
Maybe that's where the 26 decks came from. 26 letters = 26 decks?
More than 26 decks? "Deck Double A....MCO."
... which is a change from the series, where the decks are numbered.
@@neilwilliams2907 Too bad they didn't read _On Beyond Zebra_.
Some errors from the 2009 reboot: 1) During the attack on the USS Kelvin, the engineer says weapons are offline, but in the very next scene we see the Kelvin firing phasers, and later George Kirk uses torpedos to protect the shuttles. 2) Pike says during his first meeting with Kirk that the Federation is "a humanitarian and peacekeeping armada." The Federation is an alliance; Starfleet is the armada. 3) During the scene with Spock at the Vulcan Space Academy, the Minister is holding is a cheap document frame with a cardboard insert, like you'd get at Target or Office Depot. 4) Not an error, exactly, but a very odd script choice: Would Spock's human mother really be allowed to serve as one of the Elders of the Katric Ark?
Bit late, but I think I have some answers. About the Federation being an armada: this could very well just be a colloquialism. And, about the Elders in the Katric Ark and Amanda: Vulcans may suspect or even know that a human could at least carry a katra for a short time. It was probably a "desperate times and measures" sort of thing. That, or Sarek was permitted to take her with him as his wife, and he definitely would want her close to try and protect her as much as possible.
You guys actually made a mistake on this list. In the Motion Picture, Checkov doesn’t get burned when the probe comes aboard, he gets burned during the engagement with the energy weapons as the Enterprise first approaches V’Ger.
He also wasn't acting, and the burned hand isn't makeup. He got too close to the pyrotechnics in the console. Ouch!
They had the camera rolling, and since nothing beats the real thing, they left it in.
@@Terminator484 that’s crazy... I actually had never heard about this before.
@@Terminator484 I heard he had some kind of protective layer of fake skin, but that it burned through.
Sorry, I've encountered the claim that Spock's console magically heals after Spock smashes it, but ... no ... it really doesn't. The problem is that the shattered pieces of the console almost look arranged in the after shot. But if you look at the console, you'll see that the intact panel parts are much larger before Spock smashes them. Grab a still frame of each and alternate and you'll see there's a definite change.
#2 is a big stretch. It is only logical that since Kirk didn't like the fact he needed glasses, once he used them to read the time he immediately stuffed them back into his Star Fleet pocket.
Makes sense - it’s quite common for people to become long-sighted as they reach upper-middle age. So Kirk might need them to clearly see the display on his watch close-up but not to see the room around him.
If I am using my reading glasses rather than my varifocals, I have to take them off when not needed, because they distort my distance vision so badly. I'm not alone in this, my cousin has recently started wearing reading glasses and is the same.
This is why some people look over their glasses at those they are talking to
These are great, but my favorite one didn't make the list. In The Wrath of Khan, when the Enterprise enters the Mutara Nebula, the ship shakes and everyone on the bridge feels the jolt... except Shatner. While the rest of the cast lean forward sharply, Kirk sits perfectly still. Shatner must have simply missed his cue.
Like the Dos Equs guy, Captain Kirk entering the Mutara Nebula doesn't shake him, he shakes it.
Either that, or Captain Kirk is just a really tough alpha male!
There is another continuity error, in First Contact. When Picard, Data and Worf assemble a team to go to Engineering, they hand out phaser rifles of the old style, with the sleeker and partly black barrel and the conical tip and flat, round muzzle without an actual hole in it. Picard grabs his one last and there are some of the new style seen in the rack, with the thicker silver barrel, sloped tip and a slot as a muzzle. In the next scene, they lead their team through the corridors and come around a corner. Suddenly they all have the new style of rifles. And then, after they've met Beverly when she came out of the hatch, they suddenly have the ones in the old style again.
Technically, both rifles were specially designed for the movie and never seen before, they just didn’t seem to care for the first design and replaced them during filming.
They ran out of charge on the way and swapped for new charged ones at the armory deck offscreen?
@@warrenrudolph4475 "Fuck,i forgot the batteries...Sorry Sir,i will be right back"..comes back with a new rifle instead :D
Where in the scene at 12:30 is the text 'NCC-0514' shown? I am sorry, but I do not see it on Zulu's display panel.
*Sulu
I didn't see it either it's barely visible but take a good look to the nacelles, next to the one that is closer to the bottom of the display is almost not visible (like set with 90% opacity) NCC/0514
I mean... Chekhov probably just changed *AFTER* getting out of the pod.
He might even have removed a panel in the back with emergency items behind it, thus making the pod look larger.
I mean, there is a significant emergency equipment cache inside military aircraft ejector seats, and these pods are significantly larger than one of those.
Who is to say that Vulcan earlobes don't grow attached as a Vulcan ages?
exactly, ear lobes are hereditary in humans, but maybe not Vulcans? Who knows
Not to mention the fact that Spock is half-human.
My thought exactly.
Whenever a young vulcan runs riot someone will tell him: "Now you'd better let your earlobes grow attached first young man!"
I never noticed the differences in the two actors' ear lobes, so I am willing to guess it was an oversight vs. not caring about the discrepancy.
However you feel about the reboot films as a whole, I don’t think Beyond gets enough love. I really rather enjoyed that one myself.
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you friends.😊
I thought it was as good as the other 2 Kelvin movies.
Nemesis will always be *THEE* worst trek movie of all time anyway
I did not like Star Trek 09 or Into Darkness so I avoided Beyond. About a year after it came out I finally sat down to watch it and was blown away by how much I loved it! And now I always think of how I wish I took time to see it when it was in the theater. I've probably rewatched it more than any other blockbuster in recent years.
@@jonathantefft2902 I’ll have to watch it again soon myself.
Enjoyment of a movie and criticism aren't always on equal footing. I enjoy lots of movies that technically are rather inferior or problematic movies.
@@imkluu I certainly can agree with you there. I’m sure there are critically poorly received or technically poorly made films I enjoy and vice versa.
What about when Gwen DeMarco clearly didn't say 'screw that' when facing the chompers, with the Captain?
😂😂😂😂
Sometimes the historical documents get damaged, and the repairs aren't perfect.
That was changed for TV broadcast. If you watch the DVD or blu-ray she says 'f--- that' ...
@@philiprhoades3139 I clearly recall "screw that" on our DVD copy. I'm pretty sure that if the line was originally "f--- that" on a DVD release, they then released a later run with the line altered.
I just love the fact you thought that was a _Star Trek_ movie. If only….
12:34 I have to be honest, I can’t see where it says NCC-0514, but I know the numbers are, Henry Kelvin, JJ Abrams grandfather’s month and year of birthday, and show up in a lot of his films. The same goes for the name Kelvin.
So even though NCC-0514 is obviously not the Enterprise’s registry, I think it’s still a nod to that number.
Bloody hell! Yeah I can see it now! They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel including that one 😳 Someone must watch these films frame by frame looking at every millimetre of the screen 🤓
Yeah I can't see it either myself, but I honestly see it as more a little easter egg to the first Star Trek with the reboot cast, as the NCC-0514(USS Kelvin) was the ship from the very beginning of the game that Kirk's father was on(and temporary captain of)
The Easter Egg is to JJ Abrams’ Grandfather, Henry Kelvin born in May of 1914 - USS Kelvin NCC-0514
"Incredibly obvious"
@@Jimmy_D_82 That's what Star Trek nerds do. There's a reason they parodied that so heavily in Galaxy Quest. ;)
I would love to see a video from Trek Culture detailing the actors who played different roles in different episodes and movies, like Suzie Plakson, Susan Gibney, Merritt Butrick, etc. Keep up the great work.
Regarding fuel for Voyager, it always seemed to me they were using their Bussard collectors while at sub-luminal velocities to collect hydrogen and anti-hydrogen, and then using that as fuel for the warp core. You will recall that they spent a fair amount of time at sub-light speeds, with the nacelles lowered for a clear line to the space in front of them, and then tucking them in behind the primary hull just before going to warp.
In First Contact Riker said the Moon was unrecognizable due to all the lakes and cities, yet the Moon looks exactly the same as today every time it’s shown on Star Trek.
It's not the moon!
@@nagash303 I know..it´s a giant egg^^
Addition to Number 5: I think the holoship was hidden in a water reservoir. In one scene they let the water out, perhaps they forgot to stop the water from flowing out.
i don't understand
Good point
@@noizW Easy: The entrance Water level ratio would of course become bigger and bigger the more water is drained
They just "walked in" the holographic ship. They must have a "bridge of some sort" from the ground to the ship.
Now when she ran out... Where's the "bridge"? The ship was then far away from the ground... and she fell into the water.
I love the bit in nemesis when riker fights the reman at the bottom of the ship, then kicks him off to fall another 10 stories, or whatever into the darkness. Surely he would have fell a few feet into the inner hull. Thats Tardis like.
I'd also expect the bottom deck of the ship to be much more cramped than that, and not have trash chutes leading down to even lower catwalks, with 10 story drops into the abyss below them...
Guys, it is the *WORST* Trek movies of all. pointing out that error is like trying to point out which turd has the most sweetcorn in it.
At least they didn’t do a “RoboCop”, and give the Viceroy 6’ arms!
As I hear it, the Remans beamed in at the bottom of the ship and made their way up where they ran into Riker. The doors are marked with Deck 19 or something. The long shaft is the computer core.
@@andrewshouse9840 This is no place for logic.
Uhura's name was mis-spelled in the end credits of ST6.
Uhuru!
That's alright, as long as they got Nichelle Nichols spelled right.
The biggest mistake ever was when Scotty was on the Enterprise B and seen that Kirk died but in the Relic he told Geordi that Kirk got the old girl (The Enterprise) out of the mothballs to come rescue him
I believe the TV show was written before the movie and I guess no one went back and changed the script between movie release and the episode being filmed and aired. The worst mistake about it is that the person that wrote the movie script also wrote the TV episode.
Well, Scotty did drink a lot ...........
@@sam21462 Scotty had also been stuck in a transporter buffer for an extended amount of time that buffers are categorically not designed to function over, who knows what sort of problems that could cause, not least temporary dementia and/or memory loss. This would also make his later depression and sadness displayed on the holodeck all the more poignant however.
@@berthulf Wow, most excellent point and you will have to pardon me as I think I have something in my eye ........ damn.
@@imkluu Also, the parts in Generations were originally written as Spock and McCoy, not Scotty and Chekov. Nimoy and Kelley declined to be in the movie, so they brought in Doohan and Koenig, but they didn't bother to change the script to reflect it.
Star Trek VI: A person changes position.
The Motion Picture: A console is repaired.
Star Trek III: The background props move around.
Into Darkness: Uhuru's earrings change. Seriously? This was tiny enough of a detail that I never noticed she was even wearing earrings!
Star Trek The Motion Picture: Spock and Doctor McCoy’s arm band colors switch jackets
@@kellyweingart3692 They actually switch jackets. Look at the lengths of the jackets. Once the jackets switch, Spock is wearing a much shorter jacket.
If you think Uhuru's earrings colour change is small, go rewatch TOS. Her stockings keep switching too. But I look for those things
In Star Trek VI, when Kirk invites the Klingon's for a formal dinner, Chekov is sitting at the Navigation post, but when he says "Guess who's coming to dinner" He's seated in the Captain's chair
One thing that always bothered me about Undiscovered Country, it was the Excelsior that was cataloging gaseous anomalies at the beginning of the film. However, in the final face-off with Chang, it's the Enterprise that was suddenly equipped for such things. It seems that, at some point in production, the passing of the baton to the next generation was dropped.
I have never understood this in VI. Sulu's Captain's log:.... we are heading home under full impulse power. That's sub-light speeds. In other words they are going no-where fast at all.
Shatner didn't think the Excelsior should be the hero and that the Enterprise should save itself. So they took dialog originally written for Sulu and his officers and just moved it the Enterprise.
I think the top one can be easily explained away. It's an escape pod so it more than likely has survival gear stored in other compartments along the side and in that camera frame you only needed to see Anton get in the pod and not really tell the dimensions of it till he's on the ground... damn thats alot , the things you get to analyze while on watch.
There is a fanfiction series of things crewmembers of Enterprise should know which have discussions about not showing the video of Kirk sitting on the Tribble, or don't fly a Jolly Roger from the nacelles, and other fun things like if you find Scotty's still, don't tell, etc. I just picture Kirk having glimpsed the deck numbering, later making some sort of announcement that whoever the joker is that painted the numbers, go back and correct this.
An addition to your "12. Magically Disappearing Glasses' entry:
In the TOS Pilot The Cage, as the landing party enter the transporter room to beam down to Talos IV, the second crewman standing behind the console is wearing thick black framed glasses. When the camera cuts back to him they are gone.
VGer console error highlight @ 1:22 clearly shows the console is *still* damaged as half the keys are still missing.
Yes Spock, because smashing the keyboard will stop the incorporial energy beam from accessing the computer core. 🙄
70's grasp of computers
@@RichO1701e now it's "shoot the screen!"
@@joermnyc Gibbs (NCIS) shooting monitors to stop terrorist supercomputers. That'll work :)
There's a worse continuity error for Valtane: according to Voyager, he died during the events of Star Trek VI, but the movie shows him alive and well at the end. Much as I like Jeremy Roberts, it's a shame they didn't base the Voyager episode around Christian Slater's character, as he was recognisable, but wouldn't have caused a continuity error by dying. As a big fan, I'm sure he'd have reprised his role for a modest fee!
Explanation for the sudden costume change in the Kelvin Pods: ‘Totally Spies Compowder wardrobe technology’. I mean, they already materialize/replicate their uniforms in that era as seen in Discovery.
One goof that I noticed was during the ride over to 1701-A at the closing of ST:4 TVH. For some odd reason, the costume department decided to demote Scotty back down to a Commander when only Kirk got that one little blemish to his stellar record. Perhaps when they needed to Captain up JTK and didn't have an appropriate pin available they partook of his pin and hoped no one would notice with the gold on mustard being very obscuring.
NO, to quote Bob Ross: "There are no mistakes, only happy accidents!!!" 🖖🏻👨🏻🦲
Fun fact: Before he became our beloved mellow painter Bob Ross was a hard nosed military man with the nickname of "Ballbuster Bob".
@@sam21462 yeah, I knew that, it is so cool! I am a Bob Ross fan also!
@@morrisgautreau6704 - Ya know (ok, so obviously you know) he was one fascinating individual that most people only know, as, basically, a meme, but a very very beloved meme. I think a nice Hollywood biopic might do very well.
@@sam21462 A biopic would be interesting. I grew up watching Bob. I know a good deal about Bob Ross!
@@morrisgautreau6704 - Now all we need is a script, one hundred million dollars, and Tom Hanks.
In TOS, command tunics were lime green. The only gold tunics were in the original, unaired pilot. Adding to the confusion is the fact that lime green, if camera color balance is incorrect, appears as a very dull, washed-out olive green or gold. Even in TNG, green tunics did exist, but not for command.
This is a blink and you'll miss it mistake, and also WARNING once you see this, it cannot be unseen. In Star Trek III The Search for Spock, during the Enterprise self destruct scene, when the Klingon goes flying over the center console, right before the cut to the exterior of the Enterprise, you can see an off camera crewman's arm fling into shot to stop the stuntman upon landing. It's mere frames but once you know its there, you'll see it every time.
Now I have to go find this ... thaaaaanks 😂😂😂
In Star Trek Nemisis when Dr. Crusher is speaking to Picard and crew and mouths RNA and the audio says DNA.
12: those are reading glasses, of course he DID take them off, no continuity error here.
Same thing happened in "The Cage:" the transporter techie is seen wearing black-framed eyeglasses in one shot; in the next, they're inexplicably absent. Obviously the actor removed them between shots.
I think you made a mistake on Mistake #13. Look closely at the console before Spock destroys it, and then again afterward. You said it's back to the way it was, but it's definitely not. LLAP!
Regarding the last point about the costume change....... would it be possibly that the escape pods might have had a bulkhead to keep items like a phaser, tricorder, and jacket(?)
Also we don't "see" them climb out of the pods do we? Could they have climbed out, opened that bulkhead compartment, and retrieved what they would need?
To add to 6: Nemesis adds THREE MORE DECKS!
_Undiscovered Country_ has a bit that bugs me me more than any of these…why does Sulu’s tea cup shake well before any turbulence is detected by _Excelsior’s_ sensors? _Star Trek_ exists in a universe wherein Federation sensors are either ridiculously sensitive or not, depending on the script…
Yes! I'm not the only one that noticed that. In one episode the sensors are God-like, all knowing. In the next episode they are worthless and that has always bothered me.
@@billmitchell9501 The same is true of Transporters. Some shows they can bring people back from the dead, duplicate them with split personalities, take only certain items off people or out of peoples hands, move people across planets, and thru vast space, and the next they are unable to do anything because of too many flies in the air, they are too deep underground, radiation of some kind, or some such BS.
@@billmitchell9501 I suspect that particular writer or director was overly impressed by Jurassic Park.
The cup was designed to be the best sensor available. And very decorative to boot.
Simple: the tachyonic shockwave preceding the physical shockwave caused harmonic resonance through the shield grid and inertial dampeners, leading to the structure of the Excelsior vibrating.
One that I love a scene from an early S1 TNG episode. In it, Brent Spiner's white makeup around his neck is partially worn off, and you can see the flesh colour of his neck in that scene
You forgot the silliest mistake of them all. Star Trek V. The mistake starts at the beginning, and continues throughout until the credits roll.
What about STAR TREK (2009) all the way through to the end of BEYOND?
@@bheast86 how about not. For years now I see the opposition to the new star trek line. And though it's a shame it was nescessary as the one onwilling to continue had the rights, the cast is better then every film before. And it's a shame that their salaries are now the reason no films are made. So how about every Star Trek fan feeling the need to kill the enterprise because their favorite spacesoap have gotten some action in it, just... shut..... up.
Has anyone pointed out the (quite deliberate, I'm sure) error in this video that the clips from Generations were labelled as The Undiscovered Country and vice versa?
Yeah, I was wondering what the Nexus was doing in TUC. :P
Oh, and then in Star Trek: Nemesis, the Reman boarding party is on deck 29 and when Riker and Viceroy are fighting, Riker pushes him off a catwalk into a seemingly bottomless pit. So the ship appears to have at least 45 decks in total.
Deleting a reply to someone else to add here since I see you made the same point HAHA ... Shouldn't he have just landed on the outer hull like a couple feet down??
Clearly when the borg added the extra decks in First Contact they simply just Tardis'd the ship, cause it's already established they must have added 5 decks for there to be a #29 ... The rest has got to be it's also a Tardis, not just the pods.
Of course, it was important to have a catwalk on the Enterprise, where else would they hold their fashion shows! ;)
I can't help but think of the MST3K of "Space Mutiny": "That's a railing death."
Expanding the comparison - Perhaps the Kelvin Pod Clothing Change is a nod, by way of 1960s Batman, to the NX-01 fireman poles, as mentioned in the relevant Dolphin Series video?
Well, the console that Spock smashed didn’t fix itself; it’s missing (lower) half of its buttons or key caps, if you will, in the second shot. It’s fair to say that it somehow managed to get rid of those loose caps all by itself, though.😏
When Kirk looks at his watch, in Wrath of Khan, the gesture is only a gimmick used by the film makers so they audience gets Kirk is watching the time. However, the characters never wear watches nor is it ever shown they put them on for away missions!
I hadn't noticed that, and since they have multifunction wrist mounted communicator things in TMP I just presumed it was something similar. Nice catch.
I agree, Quinto was the perfect Spock look a like and therefore fitted perfectly.
i didnt really like Quinto in the first Abramsverse outing ... his acting felt very stiff and had almost an amatuer-ish quality to it ... but by the sequel he seemed to fit into the role a lot easier and his acting had improved significantly
Look alike? Um, not really.
I remember having a LOT of questions about the holoship when I first saw Insurrection.
Holoship, so you mean ST: Insurrection, right?
@@theJF7 You're right. Fixed ;)
Some of these are a little too minor for your title: he's not wearing glasses in the next scene! Outrageous!!!
The discussion of the Prime directive without mentioning the beginning to "Star Trek Into Darkness" renders this list obsolete.
And let's not forget Sybock's hair. :)
Creepiest thing to my young teenage brain .. A smiling Vulcan ...
In First Contact when Picard is convincing Lilly to give back the phaser to him. When she hands it over you can see a red laser move along their hands/arms, indicating the prop used likely had a laser pointer built into it to coordinate with post production on where to add the phaser effect. Someone likely brushed up against the button to fire the laser when the handover was filmed.
Or maybe phasers have laser sighting, and this is only the first time anyone noticed.
@@imkluu It would be a logical and helpful thing, since they obviously never got any physical aiming assistance.
Then again, TNG-Style Hand-Phasers have been used thouroughly TNG, DS9 and VOY and often at close ranges, one should assume that you'd have catched a glimpse.
@@imkluu That would be highly practical, considering the anti-intuitive way hand phasers are held, and the total lack of any type of sights on anything smaller than a phaser rifle. The tiny little pocket versions occasionally seen in TNG (the ones no bigger than a keyfob) are by far the worst offenders for this problem.
It'd take a TON of practice to develop the muscle memory needed to get marginally accurate with one of those things... but if they had a laser sight that flicked on when you simply held it correctly, aiming would be almost dummy-proof easy.
In "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" Spock and McCoy inexplicably switch jackets near the end of the film. Around 2 hours, 5 min into the film Spock has a red band around the left arm of his jacket - McCoy has blue. At 2:07, they've switched!
The thing that always really gets me are those moments when you notice, wait a minute, somebody stuffed a bunch of rocks and debris inside these consoles. Every bloody time. On ALL the ships for some reason. I can't imagine that's a particularly pleasant job to get stuck doing. The only thing I can think of that would be marginally worse is whoever has to clean the food stains off the inside of replicators. Especially if the crew has a lot of Italians. Pasta sauce everywhere!
In Star Trek II, Khan looks at Terrel and says: "I don't know you." Turning to Checkov, he says: "But you, I never forget a face." Isn't that the first time they met face-to-face?
The dialog itself suggests that it is not, and since it's not impossible (Chekov may well have been on the ship during the events of "Space Seed," just not assigned to the bridge yet), most Trekkies don't consider it an error. Still, it would have been better if Sulu and Chekov had switched roles. Walter Koenig has jokingly suggested that Chekov and Khan ran into each other in the restroom, which would be a nice excuse for why it didn't appear on 1960's T.V.!
@@DAOzz83 That's been my theory all along: just because the actor wasn't on the show does not mean that the character wasn't on the ship...Chekov was probably working in the exobotany lab or something.
@@willmfrank He could have been on the bridge during the night shift. Someone's got to steer the ship while Kirk & co are sleeping.
What about in Nemesis where the Remans board Deck 29 of the Enterprise-E, then during Riker and Viceroys scuffle in the bowels of the ship, somehow the Viceroy falls to his death down a seemingly bottomless turbolift shaft..... on deck 29.
How about a brief shot in Wrath of Khan when facing off against the silent approaching Miranda class, Kirk order the ship to yellow alert and we get a brief shot of the status change to yellow alert and showing the status of shields up/raised.
The earlobe one is meh for me, funnily enough. If, say, even Spock's eye color was different from his younger self, it may have been a bigger blunder but I would not have noticed or cared about that either. Learning about all these is interesting though.
I think the bigger issue on the Sona/Federation holoship is… why get into that firefight in the first place? Why not simply end the simulation immediately upon learning the nature of the thing?
Or upon being fired at "Computer end program!" *dude falls* Aaahh *splat*
i mean the pods internal size can be overlooked really unless your really really stretching. as for changing ive changed clothing in far tighter locations than that before its doable its just hard do we know how much time passed when he was on the surface of the plannet before he got out of the pod? i have only seen the movie once or twice and never paid that much attention to the small details like that. maybe he just changed before he got out after he landed
I can't believe you didn't mention the escape hatch in "The Voyage Home!" 😂 When Kirk said, "Open the escape hatch," & you could clearly see the studio lighting!
An idea occured to me about the extra backwards decks in STV. Maybe it was an extra security measure to prevent people from escaping in a way similar to how they were trying to, maybe something similar to the holideck. If you're recall they were still fairly new to the ship so that might have been an experimental idea on the Yorktown befor she was rechristened, plus there was alot going on so even if they had some idea with everything going on it might have just slipped their minds since they spent more time on the bridge then the brig.
STV was just plain bad.
OMG!
When you said "Deck numbers"
I thought you were talking about that part in Star trek 5 with the rocket boots!
A theory about the double Valtanes. Identical twins. You see both at the start. Valtane dies (ST: VOY-Flashback) and in the Excelsior crew shot at the end, the remaining Valtane is seen. My theory anyway!
Speaking of the uniforms one I’m shocked that was missed here was Valeris’s entire uniform given it was a mess in Star Trek VI firstly she wears a flame red turtle neck the designation of a trainee the highest rank a trainee is able to hold is Lieutenant Junior Grade but her rank indicates Lieutenant Commander, then her jacket shows science blue which is more fitting to the rank but less so to the trainee red, also I don’t count the constant referring of Lieutenant as opposed to Lieutenant commander as both are interchangeable terms along with just commander for someone of that rank
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done in every way and detail provided indeed 👌.
You also for got the part about the numbers on the decks being out of order in the film too. If you slow down the part where Spock is flying them up the turboshaft, due to an editing issue, there are a couple floors that are out of order and one of them even appears twice.
Also, you didn't mention a BIG ERROR: The bridge of the Bird of Pray from Star Trek Search for Spock to Voyage Home!
The only thing that drives me nuts in Star Trek IV is when Checkov is asking where Alameda is.
YOU WENT TO SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO! Alameda is STILL THERE. San Francisco isn't JUST San Francisco.
They could have asked Sulu. He grew up in San Francisco.
These are some good catches! The guns on Kirk's wall moving around is a shame. Or, did the gaffer's tape fail and they kept falling down?
They're avant-garde clock hands. 😁
Only a trek fan could notice the differences in Vulcan ears.
Yeah but that one is too easy, I mean is it a continuity error or are they showing that Vulcan earlobes change as they mature? 🤣😂🤣😂
"Or maybe the filmmakers just didn't care." Does ANYONE?
@@marlaerwin3610 - If you knew just how much some people care about such things you would sleep less well at night. 😱
@@marlaerwin3610 clearly you’ve never been to a convention. Some of my fellow fans scare the shit out of me. Check out the documentary Trekkers and Trekkers 2. Should give you a clue.
In the next generation Jordi laforge was phased and could walk through everything but he could still stand on the floor
That has always bugged me too mate ;)
Especially blaringly obvious when they threw the Romulan out into space through the wall ...
@@seajaye9540 but that romulan was phased as well that's why he was able to go through the world
@@FrankAnzalone yes, but shouldn't all 3 of them have fallen through the floor? That was my point of mentioning how easily he went out into space.
Maybe the gravity plating in the floors acted as a barrier.
I'd still like to know why, when Scottie was re-materialized in NG, why did he imagine it was Kirk that sent a search party out to look for him, when he was actually present when Kirk was sucked into the Nexus.....err uuuuh... vaporized? Timeline? This is no time to argue about time! We don't have the time.... *gently brushes my long hair back
Well, the episode aired first so this is the fault of the Generations writers for not remembering that bit. Or just blame it on long term transporter storage giving him the brain-fuzzies. LOL
Scotty could have simply assumed Kirk was found alive and well. Ya never know!
@@juunidesu12 My theory is that Scotty's "fuzzy memory" would have had him remembering or conflating some event further in the past than the Nexus event. It still fits in with the long-term transporter buffer theory, but might also make his claim a bit more credible.
Reminds me of The Nitpicker's Guide for Classic Trekkers. It is a hilarious book that delves into all the continuity errors and gaffes of the series and the movies. A fun read.
Thank you for #1! That has always made me crazy!
As someone with a degree in theatre, I LOVE finding mistakes in film and tv.
What about the back stage being visible when Spock exits the Enterprise in the Motion Picture! It’s when he exits the first time. You can see all the supports for the airlock set. But it’d be in older versions if it has since been corrected in more recent editions. Not sure if it has.
Woah Sean, i love the way you look in the admirals uniform...
There's an episode in the Original Series (I don't remember which episode) in which Captain Kirk boards the turbo lift from the bridge and the shot looking out the window of the lift shows the lift going up, which is hilarious when you consider that the bridge is the top deck.
The conventional ship numbering system is: the first deck, or main deck, is the first deck that goes from stem to stern; those below increase numerically; those above the main deck are numbers as 01 and up, and are called levels. The flight deck on a carrier is the 03 level. The bridge on small vessels may be on the 03 or 04 level, and on the carriers, usually the 06 or 07. It’s just one of those weird Roddenberry things. I just hit the I believe button, and enjoy the cinematic experience. You’re doing great!
Picards badge on the planet in Generations is missing as he beamed down with it on.
Maybe he was beamed to the Klingon Ship and instead of rematerialization there, they only took his Combadge and send his stream down. So he can't call for help or be beamed up again.
@@Isador he wasn't. It the beam came from the Enterprise.
@@Andrew-zv4fm Didn't the Duras said, that Picard has to be beamed to their ship for beaming down, because only they know the exact locations?
@@Isador maybe but the transporter beam is not Klingon it is federation.
How about star trek 6 at the beginning of the film we`re inform that the Excelsior is carrying equipment to track gaseous anomalies , later we find out enterprise as been in space dock.waiting to be scrapped Later during the fight with chang's bird of prey, spock modifies one of enterprise`s torpedo`s with the equipment to track gaseous anomalies, shouldn`t the excelsior have fired such a torpedo . since putting survey equipment on a ship on either its way to the bone yard or on a ship on its last mission ( a diplomatic one ) would be a waist of time and resources.
Exactly. I was going to mention this one but you beat me to it.
This is true, the only explanation for it would be Enterprise had it from a previous mission and no one removed it. Excelsior and Enterprise could have been doing the same mission, but in different places in the Alpha quadrant. Someone definitely dropped the ball here for sure, either leaving out explaining dialog or firing the damn thing from the correct ship ...
@@seajaye9540 Well, since we already established that the Enterprise and Excelsior were at one point the same ship... ;)
One thing that always bugged me in Star Trek 6, is in the opening moments Sulu says they just finished documenting gaseous anomalies. I’ve always thought that they were the ones who would have created the torpedo that finds the cloaked ship in the climatic battle. But you have Uhura saying that they had all the anomaly equipment on board but why would they?
Yes, the writers seemed to have forgotten which ship they were on.
The generally accepted in-universe explanation is that multiple ships were involved in this endeavor, with each assigned a different region of space. (Many hands make light work)
Please do a list for each of the tv shows. Would love to see a series of them
Oh, TNG could provide a years content for this all on its lonesome!
In Mud's Women, Kirk opens the gold container and the lid is facing the camera. He moves toward the women and they cut to a closeup and the lid is facing away so you can see the pills.
11:09 “Eerily” - I see what you did there. Very good.
I'd say for insurrection, the reason Data's phaser destroyed the holograms earlier is because he modified the beam to do so. What sucks is the sonar being shot and disappearing because if they'd just gone up to him and scanned him, they'd know the film's plot twist.
I thought Insurrection was another dud as a film.
Deck count: my head cannon for this is simple:
There are two sensible ways to get the deck total.
A. the actual height of the ship divided by the average deck-height. (there could be plenty of crawl-decks)
B. each and every logistically unique deck is counted separately. (thankfully the Enterprise E doesn't have to deal with neck-decks AFAIK)
