Things you didn't spot in Trek until the umpteenth viewing...
- Thread starter Tiberius
- Start date
I finished my breakfast just in time. 
Found another one yesterday...
In Non Sequitur, when Kim and Paris are flying out of spacedock with that runabout - That's no spacedock, that's a Dyson sphere!

The Star Trek II-VI uniforms had different gold piping along the jacket and trousers for each of the admiral grades. Additionally, the service stripe along the trousers for officers were branch-colored except for command personnel (instead of white, they were the same color as the jacket).
I noticed when I was watching a episode of DS9 called rules of engagement while sisko was in his dress uniform he only had three pips a rank of cammander and he was promoted to captain and in the next scene the pip reappers to make him captain !!!
Good catch. In the current Voyager avatar contest, someone used this image:
The first thing I thought to myself was "Why is there a scene with a runabout exiting a Dyson Sphere, something that appeared only in TNG?" And then I couldn't be bothered with trying to figure it out.
Watched Spock's Brain tonight. (I know.)
Apparently, in between seasons, they added a real viewscreen to the bridge set that characters could walk in front of, as opposed to the one from the first two seasons that is always seen in shots separate from anything else.
How I noticed? Well, the thing with characters walking in front of the viewscreen happens in this episode like EXCESSIVELY. I guess they had to have their investment show.
(One thing the wife noticed was that the Morg from that same episodes look like sons of Jacob in some Bible epic. When those guys were stalking Kirk & Co., she exclaimed: "Dan! Naftali! Stop lollygagging!")

I didn't know until much later that the USS Voyager had the Aeroshuttle which was docked directly under the saucer. I wonder why they never used it, but did bother with the Delta Flyer. Was the Aeroshuttle not big enough or something? Seems to me the undocking sequence for the Aeroshuttle, if ever made, would have been nice to see.
What, they couldn't have a panel slide into place to cover up the hole left behind? I find that hard to believe.
^I think you are missing the point. The panel could have looked like aeroshuttle cutout and not look any different, so they can use stock footage. At least I think that was the point being made. 
Presumably, the panel that slides into place after the Aeroshuttle undocks, will make the ship look exactly the same as it does when the shuttle IS docked. Therefore, on any given shot of the underside of the saucer, you won't be able to tell whether or not the Aeroshuttle is there, and thus you can use any exterior shot (stock footage) whether you want to show a scene where the shuttle is docked or undocked.
In one of the TNG movies, wasn't there a scene where they take the Captain's yacht? That's what I thought was always stored on the saucer section of Starfleet starships... didn't realize there's an aeroshuttle instead on some ships, like Intrepid class.
Memory Alpha said:
Normally the image on the bridge viewscreen was matted in in postproduction.
For “Spock’s Brain,” the screen was rigged for rear projection so the actors could freely walk in front of it. And yes, they walked in front of that screen a lot.

I never noticed until this week that when Kirk handed the tribbles to Uhura and told her to get the bridge cleaned up
-- she was walking around with one tucked into her collar.
