the BIGGEST blooper

[Anticitizen]

There is no Chekov conflict, his first onscreen episode has a stardate that is a lesser value than Space Seed. For all we know he was working in a different department or the night shift.

I guess it's reasonable that TOS wasn't in chronological order. I know many of them were aired out of order, in any case.

I always liked the "Pretty big margin for error -- much TOO big" thing from GEN...

 

[Maurice]

Not sure if this counts...but in TMP there is a scene when the Enterprise is inside of VGR. And there is a dramatic burst of music and I swear, if you listen carefully, who can here a voice go "OOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the same point..anyone ever hear this???

Rob

YES! I've always wondered what's up with that. You don't even have to listen carefully, it's quite noticeable. Is it also in Goldsmith's score? I don't remember hearing it when I listened to the film score.

whew..thanks for confirming you heard this..I thought I was the ONLY one...

Rob

Care to elaborate one what's happening on screen at the point of this sound?

Biggest blooper? How about the EARTH vanishing on the last big shot of the Enterprise pulling out of drydock in TMP? It should be visible, but it aint!

 

[RobertScorpio]

what about the quite visible 'matte painting' when our trepid TOS crew is standing on the BoP at the end of The Voyage Home?

I can't remember the exact line, but Data acts as though B4 is the first "brother" he's met in Nemesis. Don't want to watch it again to clarify, but I remember thinking at the time, "Have they just forgotten about Lore or something?"...

Picard asks Data: "Could this be Lore?"

thats a good one, esp if you listen to the commentary.

I think Starfleet not knowing Ceti Alpha Six had blown up was a bit of a stretch. Yeah, I know, they can't be everywhere at all times. But there had to be some kind of planetary debris indicating SOMETHING had happened there when the reliant arrived...

Rob

This is a pretty big and dumb mistake. In TOS they could learn the entire makeup of a system from lightyears away. Just look at "Doomsday Machine".

I think the biggest goof (or cross your fingers lie) was that the Genesis device went from terraforming to making not just a whole planet from dust but a star at just the right distance to make life possible.

Thanks for clearing that up. I must have dozed through that line when I saw it.

Couldn't blame you..

I'm going with that bizzare, illogical, and impossible turboshaft in TFF.

As far as I'm concerned the blinding light that silhouetted the Reliant in that one shot had to be a star that already existed inside the nebula. It's too sustained to be lightning (Relying on memory here)

I still thinking the original Enterprise (albeit refitted) fizzling instead of self-DESTRUCTING was a major blooper. I expected a stick of dynamite for years, not a sparkler.

Even then...the Genesis device still made a planet out of the nebula...that's quite impressive and certainly beyond what Carol and David Marcus would've expected

Cool, they have clips of the shot on the torp bay that almost killed the stunt guys in the shot.

No one kills a ship like Meyer. I stand by that position.

Agreed, it should have gone up like the VALLEY FORGE in SILENT RUNNING, or the DARK STAR in DARK STAR, in a big single flash in deep space ... NOT as it did, leaving huge charred sections relatively intact, to burn up while falling into a gravity well.

Actually, it should have been able to make the FIREFLY solar system -- loads and loads of planets -- with that much material. A nebula is often described as a stellar nursery ... plenty of guck for many star systems, coalescing over time.

Or...Marcus didn't know the full extent of what she had created...he did use PROTOMATTER...
