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

Was it me, in February?
I don't think that had anything to do with a policy of accessibility, the was Sisko being extra careful because of the extremely secure and volatile nature of that log.
There is a similar one with Picard holding an alien artifact.
Take a look at Riker's face. I bet they laughed about it between takes.
I see nothing.
In Star Trek VI, there's a framed portrait of Sarek on the back wall. There are others too but I can't make out who, I think one might be Abe Lincoln.
For me, it was when I saw "Tin Man" that I realized all Betazeds are supposed to have black eyes because Elbrun's black eyes really stuck out to me.
I guess I didn't notice Deanna and Lwaxana's eyes so much because they both have dark hair but Elbrun's eyes really stood out to me because his hair is lighter.
I don't know if Troi's black eyes were obviously fake but I didn't know they were for a long time, I thought they were Sirtis's natural eyes because somehow, I never saw her without the contacks until near the end of TNG's run. I noticed Majel Barret's fake black eyes when she appeared as Lwaxana but I thought it was simply to make her more closely resemble Deana.
When I finally saw an interview of Narina Sirtis near the end of TNG's run and finally got a good look at her without her contacts, my first thought was that she has very pretty eyes and they went out of their way to conceal them in the show?? Wow, just wow, I wonder how she felt about that.
Here's a scene from TOS where during the '70s and '80s I didn't think anything of it but something about it had become quite noticeable by the latter half of the '90s. In "Balance Of Terror", there's a scene where Uhura has a recording of a Romulan transmission that Spock is to analyze.
So Uhura transfers the recording onto one of those little colored thingies they use that is in a slot in her console, pulls it out, gets up out of her chair, steps over to Spock, hands it to him and he takes it and sticks it into a slot in his own console which is right smack next to Uhura's own console.

The main computer (accessed by Spock's console) has a physical firewall between internal use and any access through the external communication systems.
I guess this makes invading the ship's computer via an outside link more difficult. 
Just put Voyager - "In The Flesh" and it had never occurred to me in the past that the ope ing scene of the Admiral giving out orders at the fake STHQ that no one is in the correct uniform.
Everyone is wearing the Voy uniforms as opposed to the then standard FC/DS9 ones.
It's not as if it is dragged out for long that it is all fake but I don't remember clocking on when I first saw the episode

Which makes that episode very problematic since it raises the question how did Species 8472 learn about Starfleet Command? They obviously weren't to the actual Starfleet Command since they would know about the gray FC uniforms if they did. But they couldn't have gotten the information from Voyager's computers since they didn't know Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant and cut off from Starfleet Command.
They probably did get it from Voyager's computers, and used the last Google Maps update of San Francisco for their recreation. Uniforms are a trivial thing that 8472 would easily adapt to when they infiltrated for realsies.
'Kay, but if they had gotten access to Voyager's computers, why didn't they notice Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Seems like an odd thing to not notice while perusing computer files for info on their homeworld.
As a thought - let's assume that they got the original data on SF from the Borg. When they obtained it they won't have thought anything of it as SF are irrelevant to them.
Then Voyager shows up and causes hell for them so they look in to SF and start planning.
This accounts for dodgy intel on the uniforms and on how many ships are out there as it predates everyone knowing about Voyager.
Not the best or the cleanest answer but might fill some gaps
Not really, the Borg would have known about the uniforms because of First Contact, where we see them assimilate many Starfleet officer wearing the gray uniforms.
Have I got my years out of sync?
I thought S3 was pre FC?
Even so - didn't they only assimilate the grey uniforms when in 2063 which means the rest of the collective don't have the knowledge?
Season 3 of Voyager and FC take place in the same year, 2373.
My edit must have hit after you read it - does the fact that they only get to assimilating people back in 2063 not cover that?
Although presumably they will have noted officers at the Battle of Sector 001 in the uniforms so if they have a transwarp subspace transmission back to the Delta Queen it might cover
Seven of Nine had full knowledge of what went on while the Borg and the Enterprise were in 2063, as she made reference to it several times throughout the show. That clearly shows the Collective would have known about all that stuff, including the uniforms, during the events of Scorpion. Which given that's when Species 8472 first learn of Voyager, Starfleet and the Federation it would have to have been during Scorpion they would hypothetically check out Borg computer files about Earth and Starfleet Command.
