This entire thread has been pretty interesting to me. I must confess that most of these never even occurred to me.
Of course now I just feel stupid.

Now you can get a job at Paramount! Congratulations!
Nothing in TMP establishes exactly how fast warp speeds really are, nor does it establish where Vulcan is in relation to Earth. The TOS movies do seem to imply that warp drive is pretty damn fast, though, since the Enterprise is able to fly from Rurapenthe to to Khitomer in less than a day.
Come to think of it, in all six movies I don't think we ever saw a trip between any two points requiring more than half a day's travel at warp no matter where they were going, even in TFF where the voyage to the center of the galaxy apparently takes a couple of hours tops. The single exception is V'ger who takes about two days to get from the Klingon border to Earth and Enterprise intercepts it halfway there.
Didn't Kirk order warp one immediately after Spock declines in TMP? In STXI, Pike explicitly orders maximum warp.
Aye, Sir. Full Impulse.
That's where I got the strange idea that Full Impulse equals the speed of light.

But atleast enterprise addressed it!
I would say the addition to the V ridges on Romulans by TNG has to rank up there.

Indeed! Strange that that one has received significantly less attention [than the Klingons].
The Ferengi are slavers. The Bolian is probably property, captured on a raid similar to the one seen on Enterprise.It doesn't mean the Ferengi and the Bolians know each other in an official capacity.
Who's to say they didnt and came up with nothing. I got the impression Muk and Co were off the beaten path. Though they did find out quite bit by the 24th Century:

In Cardassian space, where there was little UFP contact at first. I would say that once the cat was out of the bag the Ferengi were quite aggresive in establishing themselves in UFP and Klingon space. Sort of like Starbucks
Well let's look at that exchange:
The last Outpost said:
They find humans to be ugly and no doubt feel the same about races that look similar. No matter how often they see human looking aliens or females with clothes on their ingrained cultural bias will come into play and evoke a negative response.
It also establishes the Ferengi's unwilling to share information about themselves.
What "mistake' would that be? The Borg had already been encountered long before "Q Who". Voyager esablished that. And of course there's First Contact
Going by memory, but isn't the exchange something like:
SHELBY: I thought they weren't interested in us, only our technology.
PICARD: Their priorities appear to have changed.
This says to me that AS FAR AS STARFLEET WAS AWARE (based on one encounter, in "Q Who") the Borg weren't interested in actual people. Of course, that was only one encounter. Not that it didn't match up to "past goals" - you can't assess a culture like the Borg based on one brief encounter.
Q explicitly told Picard in "Q Who" that the Borg weren't interested in the crew, but in the ship and technology.
Well, in that particular moment.
We can disregard Q's exact words because...well it's Q, I wouldn't put it past him to embellish things a bit.
But you'd think Guinan would have told them, after all she would have heard about it from other survivors (how else would she have known, if she wasn't even there?)

Actually, it's not so strange, since it's easily explainable as a racial thing. Some Romulans have ridges, some don't. Remember, most Romulans we see in TOS were wearing helmets, for all we know they could have had ridges on their foreheads. Also, take into account that Spock was able to walk around the streets of Romulus without anyone asking "where are your forehead ridges?"
Well, to be fair, Q may be a mischievous prankster but he has never flat-out lied.
Awesome. I need the work.
Sorry disagree. The ship goes underway (twice)...
Kirk arrives at sickbay not wearing his cadet uniform - where did that go?
He's put to sleep - no duration given, but implied not for 3 minutes
The '3 minutes to Vulcan' is announced
McCoy is in a different uniform
Kirk awakes.
There's a sizable time gap there, e.g. two clothing changes are shown, and once you allow that could be higher.
Sulu just says "Maximum warp, sir". Maybe they dropped out earlier, maybe they took a while to accelerate, maybe they hit a TMP wormhole... maybe they were at max for 10 hours. The speed will still be maximum whether it was 3 minutes or 3 days.
I still think Spot's sex change is the worst continuity error.
