Things you didn't spot in Trek until the umpteenth viewing...

I never noticed the Nausicaan stuntman who rolled right out of his wig in "Tapestry" until it was pointed out to me in Phil Farrand's "Nitpicker's Guide". When you go back and watch the scene, you kick yourself! "How did I not catch that?"
Most of my "I never noticed that!" Trek moments are bloopers like that.....I'm really good at spotting actors from other shows and movies, so I spotted the Riddler on TOS, Hardcastle on DS9, McCormick in Insurrection, etc......but I often miss Gates McFadden's wristwatch or Siddig's sneakers and so on....

There's only one thing I can think of.
Finally realising that that hairy thing on the back of kirks back during the trial in TUC was the veridian patch, and going back and seeing spock put it on his shoulder in the preceding scenes.
I'm just the opposite! When I saw TUC in the theater, I said, "Why did Spock just stick a Nicoderm patch on Kirk's back?"
watching DS9 now. I'm gonna have to pay more attention.
I knew some of the scenes in the show were reused, battlescenes, defiant flying..etc Just recently noticed that many of the ending scenes of DS9 were of the station an excelsior on the upper pilon and a yeager in the background.
In 'Space Seed' they tell Khan who launched in the 1990s that he'd been asleep for 2 centuries.
What I noticed this weekend is that the music in The Sound of Her Voice is not only really good, it does not sound at all like it was composed by Dennis McCarthy, although he is credited. It doesn't sound like Chattaway, Bell or Baillargeon, either. Did they bring in some outside talent without credit? Or did McCarthy really stray from what he usually does? (Stand-out cues are: during the first distress call by Captain Cusack - there's a lovely solo piano theme, and the music right after Quark convinces Odo to buy an anniversary gift for Kira.)
Vulcans were a conquered race. In an early episode of TOS McCoy is trying to get Spock to have a drink with him. When Spoc indicated that Vulcans don't drink McCoy's reply was "No wonder your race was conquered." Of course, in the episode about the Doomsday device, after finding a destroyed Vulcan ship Spock makes a comment that before this a Vulcan Captain had never lost a battle.
Yep. That's what? Conscience of the King maybe?
They weren't a conquered race in an episode later on... with Spock saying (from memory not actual quote)
"Vulcan had never been conquered in its collective memory. That memory goes so far back that no Vulcan can conceive of a conqueror."
Only way to reconcile the two, is probably the split between different fractions of Vulcans. Surak and his followers were conquered and faught back through somekind of passive resistance, until the angry emotional lot got bored and went off to find themselves a new homeworld.

In the background of one of the battle scenes of Tears of the Prophets you can see an Excelsior Class get hit from an energy beam fired from above and take some damage to its saucer section.
Then in What You Leave Behind this shot is re-used in the foreground just before the Defiant-A shoots past the camera chasing the Jem H'adar ship.
I know the finale had its purse strings cut severely but seeing that in TOTP (not Top of the Pops, British Fans, Tears of the Prophets!
) made me wonder how much of the battle that wasn't blatent re-use of footage from previous episode was merely disguised re-use of footage from previous episodes!

Not really 'noticed' as such, but TNG's "A Matter of Perspective" I didn't get at first. I was young, thought it was another "someone framed for murder" affair. But actually it had more going for it I realised later.
Also probabl doesn't count but Conspiracy when I saw it late at night I was like "WTF??? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!" at the end.

I noticed last week in the Stargazer episode of TNG season 1, they mention a federation "Xindi Station".
Good catch, except that Memory Alpha spells it differently from Xindi, as Xendi Starbase 9, near the Xendi Sabu system.
I always took it that McCoy was just teasing Spock.
Here's a good one.
Yrridians have no thumbs.
Have a look in Birthright part 1, when Worf and Jaglom Shrek are on the shuttle, and Jaglom is telling Worf to look up, because there are those snakes that like to attack from above. You can clearly see that he has no thumbs.

Actually, what's said is "Now I know why they were conquered".
This in response to "My father's race was spared the dubious benefits of alcohol", Spock's turning down of a drink. So obviously, McCoy is referring to the fact that human women conquered the Sarek family men by offering the poor unprepared bastards some booze, this directly resulting in Spock being born - an outcome McCoy has never properly understood until now...
Timo Saloniemi
Not bad. Amanda pwned Sarek!
Another thing I never really noticed was miscellaneous stuff on the floors in TOS (and early TNG). For instance, in the reception scene in Journey to Babel there are sections of tape (that let the actors know where to stand) and at the end of Space Seed you can see black pieces of fluff and an extra piece of carpeting under Spock's chair (that was probably used to hide the electrical cord that powered the big computer in front of him).
Different spellings perhaps, but aren't they pronounced the same?
