Title: Star Trek Mistakes
Post by: Dangelus on September 30, 2010, 05:57:30 AM
I was scouring YouTube last night at work and cane across this series of what I can only describe as a visual nitpick at plot and continuity errors in Trek that I found highly entertaining.

The author uses clips from the shows to highlight the mistakes in a fun way. There are 5 sets to watch, here is the first:

A friend of mine in high school had the TNG nitpicker's guide. That was such a fun book to skim over before watching an episode.

Yeah I've got them, a great read. This is like that in pictures! I think he has also done some recut scenes but not had a chance to watch these and don't know what they are about.

I wish I had cool editing skills! :)

I had a double cassette audio version of TNG nitpicker's guide from Simon and Schuster. If i remember correctly, featured Dwight Shultz and Marina Sirtis.
The tapes wore out pretty fast.

A lot of those can be explained away (like Picard wanting revenge, I mean cmon, he's only human and he could have lied through his teeth at the hearing).  And Data getting old is Spiner not aging that well.

But over 8 years the amount that they did get right far outweighs the amount that they got wrong.

I know, I know :)  I'm not being too analytical.  Although I like watching those cause I'll see something I missed/forget when I watch ST.

I always disliked those nit pick guides.. guess I wanted to enjoy the episodes and not hear about all the little mistakes.
