Things You Didn't Notice In Star Trek Until Years Later

[The Wormhole]

This did cause just a bit of a continuity error for "The Best of Both Worlds" because in part 1 the background characters had the old season 1-2 uniforms while in part 2 everyone had a newer uniform. There's probably ways to explain that away

No, that one is pretty hard to explain, since the change happens right during the cliffhanger. The final scene in part 1 has the extras wearing the old uniforms, then in the opening scene of part 2 they're wearing the new ones, despite the fact they pick up right in the exact same spot part 1 ended.

Oh, yeah, forgot about that.

One of those things where I guess we're just supposed to pretend it was the same uniform (I guess at least the change wasn't huge, the new uniforms were similar).

Or maybe Amazon had finally delivered the new uniforms and the rest of the crew was so excited they stopped what they were doing to change.

"Could you hold on for a sec...my new uniform finally came in and I can't wait to put it on"

Technically, per the Chronology and Stardate assumptions, The Best of Both Worlds straddles New Year's Eve/New Year's Day. If Picard or Starfleet had a hard limit that said "Everyone must wear the new Mark XVII Uniforms by stardate 44000, until then your uniform style may be at your discretion", then the bg players were just procrastinating until the last possible moment.

It could just be "coincidence" that we don't see any of the procrastinators in the opening scenes of BOBW Pt 2, and by the time they appear, there was enough time to change for the next day. Additionally, there is a bit of a time jump (ignore the stardates here) after BOBW and before Family that could help with the uniform switchover for any stragglers.

I never saw Data's yellow eyes until he seemed different in that parallel reality where he had blue eyes XD

 

[Swedish Borg]

I wonder if they have sonic toilet flush...

 

[Swedish Borg]

I never saw Data's yellow eyes until he seemed different in that parallel reality where he had blue eyes XD

I still see Data as yellow-skinned even after they told me that it was golden.

 

[NCC-73515]

To me he's white-skinned, but he's supposed to have gold glitter or sprinkles on him, I think XD

 

[Henoch]

I thought he was just French.

 

[Swedish Borg]

I thought he was just French.

Well, his French is better than Picard's, which doesn't say much.

 

[NCC-73515]

I saw the French version of FC - Commandeur Dattá sounded funny.
And commandeur Riehcare, and monsieur Whuorf, saying je suis un Klingon XD

 

[Swedish Borg]

I saw the French version of FC - Commandeur Dattá sounded funny.

Maybe it was the Canadian-French version, they always sound funny unless they're telling a joke.

Yeah, that was something I didn't pick up on actually until Nemesis. They looked really yellow there, then when I went back and watched earlier shows and movies I noticed they were actually always yellow.

Supposedly the Enterprise D has a bathroom on the bridge, the door to it is in the same alcove as the door to the briefing room. In TBOBW a man and a woman both walk out of it at the same time. Enlightened 24th century, I guess?

They have unisex bathrooms in Ally McBeal...

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

I noticed the "No Smoking" sign on the bridge simulator at the beginning of TWOK right away. But for years, until I saw a closeup of it ("NO SMOKING AT ANYTIME ON BRIDGE"), I thought it said (echoing an announcement made at the beginning of Laserium shows at Griffith Observatory at the time) "NO SMOKING OF ANYTHING ON BRIDGE."

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

There are a couple things it took me awhile to get:

- In Picard's ready room, his computer console has a mouse

- The surface of the conference table in Voyager's ready room is one big holographic display

Neither of these things, IIRC, were ever used.

I am fairly sure the TNG briefing room had holographic displays for every chair, but I don't think those were used either.

@The Wormhole: Did you ever get ahold of the CD-ROM tour of the Enterprise-D, hosted by Majel Barrett? That's how I found out about the "head" on the Ent-D's bridge. There's also one in the ready room, next to the replicator console.

"NO SMOKING OF ANYTHING ON BRIDGE."

Well I guess that means they can't order authentic Kansas City barbeque from the replicator.

That Troi was wearing contact lenses and that they were supposed to be her alien makeup. As a child I thought her gigantic hair was supposed to be her "alien thing".

No, I didn't.

 

[EnriqueH]

In ST3, I thought the bar Bones was visiting was on Spacedock. It never occurred to me he was on earth.

 

[Finn]

What do you mean he wasn't??

The first time I saw her in an interview she looked different and sounded very different; For a moment I wondered if it was the actress who played Deanna or a lookalike.
