What is THE Worst continuity error in Trek history..?!

That kind of thing happens. I have photographed a few women and I'm sure some of them might have been in that line of work as well. Just in the way they present themselves, and some of their portfolios..
I was in college and I needed the money...oh, wait. Never mind ;)
 
Not a joke but the sad truth...
Back in the early 90's I dated a dancer that was heavily into that life. Biggest mistake of my life. She was involved in that mess that went public of the Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin and his cocaine parties with strippers. She even introduced him to me once. Ten years later I dated another dancer for a while that was in school to learn business management. She knew how to keep her work life and the rest of her life separate. And today she runs her own business. She was really pretty and nice. And you'd never guess that she was doing that kind of work back then.

And to get back OT.
If in the second pilot they are able to travel to the edge of the Galaxy in a relatively short time.
It shouldn't have taken Voyager as long as it did to come home from the Delta Quadrant. They should have made it only eight to ten years and only find a couple of small shortcuts.

Also "Where no one has gone before" says that it would take them 300 years to get back from another Galaxy (I'm mis-remembering, I'm sure of it) which means if the math is correct Voyager shouldn't have taken long to get over 75,000 Light Years either.

Actually, that sounds more like the figure given in By Any Other Name for how long it would take the Enterprise to reach the Andromeda galaxy, and that was after engine modifications.

"Where No One Has Gone Before", has Geordi state it would take more than three hundred years to travel 2.7 million light years when they are thrown to M-33. Data says a subspace message would take 51-plus years to arrive at Starfleet.

PICARD: Position, Mister La Forge.
LAFORGE: Well, sir, according to these calculations, we've not only left our own galaxy, but passed through two others, ending up on the far side of Triangulum. The galaxy known as M Thirty Three.
PICARD: That's not possible. Data, what distance have we travelled?
DATA: Two million seven hundred thousand light years.
PICARD: I can't accept that.
DATA: You must, sir. Our comparisons show it to be completely accurate.
LAFORGE: And I calculate that at maximum warp, sir it would take over three hundred years to get home.

LAFORGE: Message on this has been transmitted to Starfleet, sir.
DATA: Which, traveling subspace, they should receive in fifty-one years, ten months nine weeks, sixteen days

You know, Data, you can go ahead and just count those nine weeks as two months and those sixteen days as two weeks.

So I think he meant fifty-two years, three weeks, and two days. ;)

Which is odd that Starfleet should recieve that message from 2.7m ly but not one say from Voyager which was only 70 000ly away.
 
Well doing the maths from WNOHGB

Data says over 300 years which is a little vague as it could mean anything, but as he didn't say over 400 years we can assume it's between 300-399 years

2.7m/300 = 9000ly per year
2.7m/399 = 6767ly per year

So VOY jorney would take 8-10 years or so at those speeds.

Never mind, I somehow thought we were talking about Where No Man Has Gone Before and somehow missed that we were actually discussing Where No One Has Gone Before. My bad, what a blunder.
 
You know, in Star Trek (2009) the ranks of some characters are never said to be the same the whole way through the movie.

Also, when Spock is "compromised" by Kirk later on, he clearly states that "Spock" has resigned his commision. Although not a true error in the terms of this thread, the fact he has resigned his commission means that he left Starfleet - not that he has stepped aside for Kirk to take over

Of course, that leads to a real error in that the moment Spock lashed out at Kirk, McCoy should have Regulation 121 (Section A)'d Spock right then and there

That was a bit of a script flub, as Spock earlier said he would resign his command.

If anything, Voyager should have been able to get back faster since it was a more advanced ship.

McCoy in command. I like where this is going ;)
