Operation SNAFU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Opening Credits (1st & 2nd Season) - During the opening sequence, the graphics
are a departure from the Sol system, beginning with Earth with the sun in the
background, and featuring fly-bys of Jupiter and Saturn. During this sequence,
the camera pans right, and we see sunlight off the left side of Earth and
Jupiter, but the right side of Saturn, indicating that Saturn is backlit. (UV)

Opening Credits (From Third Season On) - During the opening sequence, at the
end of the planets, watch closely the starfields. The stars go in two
completely directions.

"Code Of Honor" - While on the planet, watch Deanna's arms. In the group
shots, Deanna's arms are at her sides, while, in the close-ups, her arms are
behind her back. (UV)

"Datalore" - Upon beaming down to the planet's surface, Commander Riker gives 
the stardate as 4124.5. A little later, Captain Picard gives it as 41242.45. 
(V)

"Skin Of Evil" - When Riker is being pulled into Armus, the away team runs 
towards Armus. However Geordi drops his phaser into Armus. In the next scene, 
the away team is standing around calmly, and Geordi's phaser is back in his 
pocket. (UV)

"Conspiracy" - At the beginning of the episode, while Picard is asleep, Riker 
tells LaForge to increase speed to Warp 6. Laforge replies, "Aye Sir, full 
impulse." Later on, in that same episode, Picard says "Mr. LaForge, ahead warp 
six." Geordi responds with "Aye, sir, full impulse." (UV)

"The Enemy" - Picard says to Tomaluk that he will be escorting the Romulan
ship to the Neutral Zone. Yet, in the closing shot, the Enterprise and the
Romulan Ship take off in two different directions. (V)

"The Royale" - The surface temperature of the planet is less than absolute
zero. Also, after they beam the piece of the ship out of orbit, O'Brien and 
Riker pick it up with their bare hands (coming from space, it should have been 
close to zero Kelvin itself). Plus, after beaming down, they then scan the 
atmosphere to see if it's safe to breathe. (V)

"Measure of a Man" - In this episode, Data is shown bending a metal bar. 
However, the metal bar that Riker places on the JAG officer's desk is not bent 
in the same manner.

"Samaritan Snare" - Wesley opens a communications channel, and says that 
Shuttle #2 is ready for takeoff. However, in the following scene, when the 
shuttle is seen powering up, there is a "01" on the outside of the shuttle. 
Oops. (UV)

"Loud As A Whisper" - Data has learned sign language and is now interpreting 
what the mediator is saying. Data quotes the mediator as saying "My friends 
have died" or something like that, before it is even signed. (V)

"Yesterdays Enterprise" - At the end of the episode, Geordi talks with Guinan. 
However, he is wearing an open neck uniform. (V)

"Captain's Holiday" - In the scene where Picard orders a Code 14, we see him 
take his comm badge off his shirt and places it right next to the Tox Uthat, 
which promptly blows up. In the very next scene, when Picard is chatting away 
with Vash, we see the comm badge on Picard's shirt, as if he never removed it.
(V)

"Sins of the Father" - The sound effects people must have fallen asleep every
time someone got slapped. (V)

"Sarek" - The music recital in this episode contained several errors. First,
the quartet seating is towards the audience, not toward each other. Classical
music was originally developed with the performers facing each other in order
to get visual cues. The performing in front of the audience did not come about
until much later. Second, the Allegro is by Brahm's, not Mozart. Thirdly, the
Allegro is sextet, not a quartet. (UV)

"Brothers" - The code which Data gives to lock the Enterprise computer system 
differs between the spoken version and the version displayed on the screen. 
(See "Security Codes") (V)

"Remember Me" - In the final act, when Wesley and the Traveler are entering 
the equations into the computer, watch Wesley's hand. He closes his eyes, and 
then places his hand on the case, about three inches below the entry pad. 
While he is making his entries, his hand starts moving up, while the sound 
effect people keep making the sounds in time. (V)

"Legacy" - During the card trick with Data, Riker's hand keeps on changing
position during the trick when the camera switches. (UV)

"Reunion" - After K'Eyhlar dies, Alexander the child runs away, and Worf lets 
out his primal scream, we see her body being lowered to the floor. As she is 
finally settled, her eyes flutter open and closed several times (as, 
presumably, the actress, Suzie Plakson, "gets her bearings"). Also notice that 
her head is facing towards her left. However, when her body is shown full-on 
from the perspective of her feet (as Worf tells Alexander to "look at death, 
and never forget"), her head is facing slightly towards her *RIGHT*, and 
remains that way for the rest of the scene (a prime example of a scene being 
shot in several takes). (V) Also, Dr. Crusher and her aide comes from the 
bedroom, not from the corridor. (UV)

"Devil's Due" - In the TOS episode "Day of the Dove", Captain Kang explicitly
remarks that the Klingons have no devil. However, in "Devil's Due", Ardra uses
the guise of the Klingon devil, Fekhlar, a creature that consumes the souls of
cowards. (V)

"The Drumhead" - After the first hearing with J'Ddan, Worf and J'Ddan leave 
the hearing room. The doors open, as they are walking though the doorway, the
doors start to close, but hesitate, open back up and then close after they
leave the doorway. Looks like someone pulled on the rope too soon :-) (V)
   Also, Satie says that Captain Picard took command of the Enterprise at
Stardate 41162. This is in error . . . it was 41152. (V)

"Half A Life" - Near the end of the episode, when Lwaxana Troi is standing
next to the mirror and then begins to walk away from it, for a brief instant 
the boom from the mic is visible in the reflection. (V)

"In Theory" - In the teaser, Data finishes telling Jenna the reasons why she 
broke up with Jeff. She and Data then close up the photon torpedo, and she 
moves off to a control panel. On top of the torpedo rests a black, hand-sided 
deviceamajig. Data stands up, holding some sensormajig in his left hand. The 
scene then shifts to Data walking towards Jenna, and the sensormajig is now in 
his RIGHT hand (with no indication that he ever shifted it there), and Jenna 
is holding the deviceamajig she left on top of the torpedo (with no indication 
that she ever went back to get it). (V)

"Redemption" - Guinan states that she has not seen Worf laugh, but his son has
laughed. Yet, in "Yesterday's Enterprise", Worf laughs sarcastic at an idea
he finds humorous. (UV)

"Redemption II" - In part one of this story, Worf said that he would be
serving on the Bortas. Yet, in this episode, he is serving on the Hectar, with
no explanation about the transfer.
   Also, Picard says to Guinan that Yar died a year prior to Guinan joining
the crew. However, "Skin of Evil" was the fourth to last story of the season,
and Guinan is first seen in the second season premiere "The Child", suggesting
only 3-4 months between the two stories.
   Picard refers to the battle on Narendra III as taking place 24 years ago to
Sela, and 23 years ago to Guinan. (V)

"Ensign Ro" - When Ensign Ro takes off her jacket, her communicator is on her 
jacket. However, when she hands the jacket to the little girl, her 
communicator jumps to her uniform, with no action of putting the communicator
there. (V)

"Clues" - Guinan has a cigarette in a holder, which changes length with each 
camera cut...a common problem in any movie where smoking is protrayed.

"Silicon Avatar" - In the second act, look closely at the tricorder that Dr. 
Marr holds during the conversation between Dr. Marr and Data. During the 
conversation, she has her tricorder open. She then closes it, then reopens it, 
but holds the tricorder UPSIDE DOWN!!!! (V)

"Disaster" - In the scene where Dr. Crusher and Geordi are evacuating all the 
air out of the cargo bay, Geordi hits the button that closes the cargo bay. 
The pushing of the button and resulting door closing are audibly heard, even 
though sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. (Probably dramatic reasons) Also, 
when the ship starts shaking, they cut to ten forward, where the stars are 
shaking right along with the ship. (V)

"The Game" - When the crew are forcing Wesley to play the game, and ???? is
holding his eyes open, Wesley blinks. (V)

"Unification I" - When Dr. Crusher is examining Data in order to prep him (and
Picard) to Romulas, she asks if Data's ears are detachable, to which Data says
that they are not. Yet, in "Datalore", Data's brother, Lore, is clearly shown
without ears. A design change?

"Unification II" - After Spock, Picard, and Data have knocked out the Romulan
guards, and Spock has Sela at gunpoint, Picard has no gun in his hand. After a
camera switch, Picard then holds a Romulan phaser "pistol". A minute later,
after a scene with the Enterprise, Picard is still standing in the same place,
but with a Romulan phaser "rifle". (UV)
   After Data gives Sela the famous "Spock Pinch", and when Picard, Data, and
Spock leave the room, look at the glass pyramid in Sela's office. There is a 
reflection of a cameraman chewing gum.  (V)

"New Ground" - Alexander states that he was born on stardate 42305. Unless the 
equivalent of 01000 stardate equals approximately one year, Alexander would be 
only 2 and a half years old. Also, the creature which Riker saves from the lab
is obviously a hand puppet. (V)

"The Masterpiece Society" - Geordi states that his VISOR covered the range
from 1 Hertz to 1 Terahertz. While this covers radio, microwave, and far
infrared frequencies, it does not cover near infrared, visible, ultraviolet,
x-rays, or gamma rays.

"Conundrum" - While a record search is performed, Deanna's father was listed 
as "Alex". However, in "The Child", she named her child after Ian, her 
father's name. (V)
   When MacDuff is talking to Picard in Picard's ready room, when Picard goes
to the window, all you see in the in the window is the reflection of Picard
and the room behind him (not the stars outside), then, when you see MacDuff,
in the reflection, leaving the room behind Picard, when the door opens, you
don't see the reflection of the bridge, you see stars. Oops! (UV)
   After Rikers first love scene, a wide-angle-view-pan-to-closeup on the
bridge can be seen at the very top of the screen, in the brightly lit area.
(UV). Shortly afterwards, in the same scene, MacDuff is walking around and up
to the tactical station from his chair, and we can see his legs walk next to
Worfs. The camera cuts to Worf, and we see MacDuff approaching Worf. (UV)

"Ethics" - When the barrel falls on Worf, a second barrel also falls, and it's 
lid pops off. However, when Geordi runs over to Worf, the lid is back on the 
barrel. (V)

"Cause and Effect" - The first time we see Picard in the Sickbay talking to 
Geordi and Dr. Crusher, he is wearing his standard uniform, and states he had 
a feeling of deja vu when he was reading. However, in the next loop, he is 
shown wearing his gray uniform while reading in his ready room, and when he's 
in Sickbay, he's also wearing his maroon jacket. (Also recall that in the 
first loop, when he is talking to Beverly, he is wearing the grey uniform. 
Thus, the sequence goes: grey -> standard -> grey). Presumably, both instances 
of this scene happen at the same "time", and since Picard's behaviour was not 
affected until Dr. Crusher contacted him, why is he wearing the standard 
uniform in one loop, and the gray uniform in the next loop? (V)

"Cost of Living" - In the turbolift where Picard and Data got trapped in due
to the metal parasites, look closely: Picard, in this scene only, is wearing
only three pips. (V)
   Also, Picard is told that the inertial dampers had failed, in which he
orders the Enterprise out of warp. If the inertial dampers had failed, they
would have been splattered all over the bridge. (V)

"I, Borg" - During the first time in the lab, Three of Five asks "Do I have a
name?" "I" should not have been used, it should have been "we".

"The Next Phase" - One of things dropped in films is an explanation as to why
Geordi and Ro are able to breathe or not be able to go through the floors.
Oops. (V)

"Time's Arrow" - The paper which Data picks up is dated "Sunday, August 11,
1893". Unfortunately, August 11, 1983 was a Friday. (V)

"Man Of The People" - There were several snafus which occurred, including....

* In Engineering, when Geordi and Beverly were checking out the
  Biofilter logs from the Dorian, Geordi had two hollow pips and one solid,
  instead of two solid and one hollow.

* When Riker and Troi walked out of Ten-Forward (the scene where Troi was
  wearing that revealing dress), they stepped right into a Turbolift. The
  sign on the lift's door said "08  Turbolift", indicating they were on Deck 8
  instead of Deck 10.

* Near the end, in Sickbay, when Beverly was reviving Deanna, Deanna's eyes
  fluttered open a couple of times, and then remained shut. (This is when she
  still looked old.) Although I couldn't make out an actual color, it was
  obviously that Marina didn't have her black contacts in.

- Betazoid's and the Ferengi Mind: In "The Battle" and "The Price", Deanna's
  is able to sense deception from the Ferengi, and later, used against them.
  Yet, in "Menage A Troi", the Betazoid Ambassador says that they are unable
  to read Ferengi minds, a fact later confirmed in "The Loss". Data has
  suggested that this is due to the Ferengi brain separated in four regions.

- In "Reunion," Gowron was prepared to offer K'Ehleyr a seat on the Klingon 
  Council for her assistance in getting Picard to quicken the pace of the Rite
  of Succession. However, in "Redemption," he states to Picard that females 
  are not allowed to serve on that Council.

Data Using Contractions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In "Datalore", Lore says that there are differences between him and Data,
among them, the ability of Lore being able to use contractions, while Data
couldn't. Yet, in "The Offspring", Data says that he hadn't quite mastered
contractions. It appears that Data can use contractions, as the following
shows indicate . . . . .

"Encounter At Farpoint" - At the beginning of the "post Atomic-horror"
courtroom, when Q enters, Data says, "At least we're acquainted with the
judge." (V) Also, when Data is asked by a very familiar "Admiral" if he is a
Vulcan, Data replies, "I'm an android." (V)

"The Naked Now" - Data says: "Correction, sir.. that's blown out." instead of
"that is".... Also, after Picard orders Yar to the sick bay, Yar asks "Did he
say when?", to which Data replies "I'm sure he meant now." (UV)

"The Last Outpost" - During the conversation with Sentry, Data clearly said 
"I'm afraid not." (UV)

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" - After they shot out of the galaxy and were
looking at all the nice special effects outside Data said something like "It's 
beautiful". (UV)

"Datalore" - In the teaser, in response to Tasha's query about holding the 
memory of over 411 people, Data responds, "Actually, I'm quite efficient in 
some basic human information." Then, in act one, on the way to the place where 
he was found, in response to Tasha's query about the colonist's memories, Data 
replies, "I've always felt that it was done hurriedly, but I know little 
more." Next, in act two, in a conversation with Chief Argyle, Data says, "I've 
been most anxious to hear the Chief Engineer's opinion, Mr. Argyle." Then, in 
the final act, after the fight with Lore, Picard asks Data if he's ok, in 
which Data replies, "Yes Sir, I'm fine." This is quite surprising, since this 
is one episode which they should have been extra careful about using 
contractions. (V)

"Heart of Glory" - (UV)

"Elementary, Dear Data" - When Data and Geordi are just about to confront
Moriarty for the first time, Data notices some scratches near Moriarty's 
secret entrance and he asks, "What's this?" (UV)

"The Offspring" - In the Captain's quarters, after Picard answers Data's 
question about Admiral Halftel having children, Data replies, "I'm forced to 
wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born." 
(V)

"Future Imperfect" - The future Data uses a contraction.

"In Theory" - When entering Jenna's quarters, Data recites several phrases
with contractions, including "Honey, I'm Home" and "You don't tell me what to
do! You're not my mother!" - a clear contradiction of the no-contraction rule.
However, he was running a program in which he was simply reciting various
phrases couples use, and he was saying them in a different tone of voice than
usual. (V)

                            ST:TNG Technical Manual

The "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Technical Manual (Pocket Books, ISBN
0-671-70427-3) is the complete technical guide to the Treknology used in TNG.
It is written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, who work in TNG's Art
Department. Among their responsibilities include making sure that everything
is consistant in the technical department from show to show. However, they
have been known to clown around a little, and some of that clowning has shown
up in the technical manual. Such as:

11 - In the saucer section, right above the Captain's Yacht, there is a duck.  
A half inch to the left and a little bit down, there is a mouse. Slightly to 
the rigt of the mouse, there is a "Slippery When Wet" sign. In the shuttle 
bay, there is three big shuttles, two small shuttles, and Porsche. To the
right of the duck, about one inch, there is a DC-3 cargo aircraft, and, in
that same rectangle, there is a symbol of a woman and a child (the symbol for
Canada's "Family" rating for movies). Also, right under the warp pylons, there
is a registered trademark symbol.

Interestingly enough, if you look at the ship diagram in Engineering on the
show, those exact items show up.

120 - The tricorder display shows "TR580 TRICORDER VII", aledgedly a reference 
to the old Radio Shack TRS-80's.

                        Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry
                       August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991

He created a legend which continues on today, creating a show that has helped
believe that there was a future worth living for. He showed us that space is
not just for space battles, but for learning new ideas and ways of thinking,
and, indirectly, has done more for civil rights and the space program than
Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy. Gene will be missed, but will not
be forgotten.
