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

[Nightdiamond]

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.

Possible, but I think if they had a Bolian slave, they would have said something more like, 'I know sexy Bolian slave, I could ....."introduce" you'...

The statement seemed more to assume he knew a Bolian-as if he or the Ferengi frequently interacted with them enough to get to know them.

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.

Then you have to look at all the times the Ferengi appeared after their first appearance in The last Outpost.

Vash, negotiating over the Wormhole, Luaxane Troi, etc,they don't seem shocked by the appearence of human, or shocked that women wear clothes-even fall in love with them repeatedly.

The one with the Ferengi scientist.

They seemed to like Bajorans, Cardassians, Klingons, Vash, Troi, (humans) Kamala, etc most just humans with a different forehead .

I think the change was in part due to making the Ferengi part of the "community" so characters wouldn't have to keep saying "what? Who are the Ferengi?"

Luaxane Troi,

Who?

I still think Spot's sex change is the worst continuity error.

I never thought that was a big deal. So Data had a succession of cats named Spot...

 

[CorporalCaptain]

It was recently established in a TNG caption contest that, when it came to treating her own wounds, Dr. Crusher enjoyed sewing up her injuries, which she got from sparring with Worf, Rambo-style using catgut.

You're welcome.

Hey. Hey. Hey, there's nothing wrong with a boy ... err, a cat getting a sex change.

Like Picard wasn't going to eventually rename B4 "Data."

 

[Crazy Eddie]

^ Or give him a sex change and rename him "Loli"

So you wanted them to show the entire several hour journey?

I think we're supposed to assume that it had been several hours before Chekov's message was delivered

I must have shown it a hundred times already. The way the scene is edited, there can't be a timespan in between. Sulu reports they have reached maximum warp, and in the very same scene, Chekov makes the announcement. Unless the acceleration to maximum warp takes several hours, the journey to Vulcan as seen in this movie takes 5 minutes. One of several cases in the movie where the writer's/director's intention wasn't properly executed. We are supposed to assume that it takes several hours (that's the intention), but the editing doesn't support this (that's the execution).
Had Sulu reported maximum warp before they cut to McCoy and Kirk walking into sickbay, or had they removed Sulu's report altogether, then it would have been right.

In 58 minutes and something odd seconds, Spock falls in love with a cave woman which was supposed to take place during a 3 hour time span.

In STVI, according to the clock on the Enterprise's bridge, they intercept Chang and stop the assassination attempt on the Khittomer Conference at 9 something in the morning. They cut scene back to the bridge, at the end of the movie, and the clock states its now 17 hundred hours, or 5pm. If you don't notice the clock, you'd think they simply beamed back after saving the day.

Also when Kirk makes his speech about history and all that jazz, Spock is holding Valeris but a cut to edit a guard is holding Valeris behind Spock.

TL;DR: Time continuity is a fickle thing in movies.

True - I just hope that Spot made an informed choice, and that the decision wasn't forced upon him just because Data wanted kids...

[Admiral Shran]

Star Trek XI.

This.

 

[Kaziarl]

I always thought Q's remark in Q-Who was more along the meaning of "They aren't interested in you as a people." Since Picard was insistent on trying to be diplomatic with them. Q was trying to tell him they don't give a shit who you are, they aren't the talkative type.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Star Trek XI.

This.

It kept to the spirit of continuity introduced in Enterprise.

My latest bugbear as currently watching TNG is the INS Troi bit about never kissing Riker with beard before. I've counted at least four or five TNG moments where she does.

 

[The Wormhole]

My latest bugbear as currently watching TNG is the NEM Troi bit about never kissing Riker with beard before. I've counted at least four or five TNG moments where she does.

There is no such scene in Nemesis. There is one, however, in Insurrection.
