Things you got "wrong"

Before Enterprise, I was under the impression that Scott Bacula was a good actor.

 

Maybe it was the material.

 

Rather old to not be able to distinguish fiction from reality.

 

^My old dog used to do that. If he saw a horse run across the TV screen, he'd chase it, then run to the window to see if it was still out there.

 

I heard Picard call someone "Ensign" when I first saw TNG and thought he was addressing that individual by their first name.

 

^In "The Arsenal of Freedom", I thought there was a guy on the battle bridge named "Khan" (Geordi was just calling him "Conn" as in "Flight Controller")

 

Around the time I was in kindergarten, I thought that Mister Spock was a civilian scientist aboard the Enterprise, because the show was the adventures of Captain Kirk and Mister Spock.

 

I thought that Enterprise-D's deflector dish was a "super phaser" even before TBOBW.

 

^isn't it?

 

When the deflector is used in "The Best of Both Worlds" it does remind you of the wave motion gun from Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato).

When TNG appeared i thought the D's saucer was round - like the original TOS Enterprise. Took me a LONG time to figure out the correct shape.

 

aren't saucers... round?

 

Until I saw the set plans, I thought the shiny bridge in Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness was circular when in fact it's an oval.

 

Search4 obviously means circular.

 

Picard: "Set course Ensign Khhaaaaaaan !!"

Khan: "Course set Captain."

Picard: "Thank you Ensign Khhaaaaaaan, engage."

 

For me, two things...

1. I'm probably the only one here, but I used to think Spock didn't speak when I was quite young.

2. Before I started watched TNG regularly, I thought the D got a new first officer after the first season

 

sau·cer (sôsr)n.1. A small shallow dish having a slight circular depression in the center for holding a cup.
2. An object similar in shape to a saucer.

Saucers do not have to be round or circular to fit this definition. Well, it has a slight circular depression for holding a cup, but I've seen some saucers and cups that are not round or circular.

 

Yes, it should be clear what Search4 means.

 

It was not actually designed as a super phaser, just rerigged for that ep.

 

When I was young I thought O'Brien was 8th in command.
