    He traveled back to the 90's and created those too and then to the 60's to create more!!!! Not bad for a guy who was fired.

    Your list is mostly nitpicky crap that can be easily refuted. As for this one:

    When remembering or dreaming of past occurrences, we see people as they were in the past, but ourselves in the present. That was just memory-Maurice interacting with present-Picard. I'm fine with it. And I can easily see balding Maurice as an older memory-Maurice (who also played Baltar -- Bald-tar -- Bald. Get it?).

    Why does it matter? These writers try incredibly hard to adhere to canon. Even down to Picard specifically discussing how he always imagined seeing his mom as an old woman sipping tea.

    To quote Shatner from SNL....

    Even that line is being hotly debated.

    Yes.

    I am speaking of the pronunciation.

    And we've nitpicked those endlessly. Why shouldn't we do it for the new Trek shows too?

    Sounded like the English pronunciation.

    This appears to be following the grand tradition of "point out canon errors that are not actually canon errors" like the thread below about Picard's mother.

    On naming the 2024 bar Ten Forward I head cannoned that Guinan sensed the name had significance in her future, even though she wouldn't have known exactly why that name was important at the time. Or maybe she summoned Q like a genie and asked him what the name should be :)

    Mine is that it's just a coincidence. "Coincidences happen every day, but I don't trust coincidences." ;)

    Picard can presumably save the Federation timeline but the future isn't written yet and they're currently in a 21st century untouched by Starfleet time travel. If they do fix the future then the events of this season will be rewritten so that Guinan does remember Picard and the Punk on the Bus will be even quicker to turn his music off.

    That's not a continuity error. All it means is that, at most, Starfleet held Seven to a standard to which it did not hold Icheb.

    I can't imagine why Seven, a woman who is passive aggressive and disdains all authority as well as intellectual inferiors (which is everyone but the Doctor) would have difficulty with Starfleet accepting her. Especially when her every other sentence is usually some variant on why Borg are superior.

    How is this a continuity error? If they had said no ex-Borg had ever been accepted in Starfleet then it would be an error but not this. Not all ex-Borgs have the same resume. Just because they accepted Icheb doesn't mean all other ex-Borgs automatically qualify for Starfleet.

    Wow, are you gonna mention all the times the writers DID dive into canon and placed all these obscure cool things in there? Chen anyone.??
    Or are you just selectively picking a few things that in your mind didn’t add up?
    And about Picards father: it has now been established that childhood trauma distorted his memories regarding his parents, he had images in his head that weren’t accurate….
    Seems to me you just want to make a ‘angry bearded nerd bashes nuTrek’ video in the hopes you get a lot of clicks.

    Forget the 90's, I'm still sharpening the axe over James R Kirk.

    The R stands for 'Retcon'.

    OP is not looking to nitpick, but to list them in support of criticism of the series - apparently without putting in the effort to think them through.
