Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

There is a scene where the actor portraying Khan's son's hand slips of the back of the captain's chair and hits Khan in the shoulder. Kahn turns his head and gives his son a dirty look. It is towards the end of the movie, around the scenes in the nebula.

When Kahn's number one officer is dying in the arms of Kahn, they exchange a word or two before the first officer dies quite dramatically with his eyes open. Kahn then fully embraces the corpse and looks up to the viewer screen and vows to get even with Kirk. However, the "corpse", whose eyes are open, closes them upon Kahn's embrace.

When Chekov and the other guy show up on the desert planet and Chekov then realises they've come across the Botany Bay he indicates they'd better get out ASAP...they run into Khan. Khan says to Chekov "I never forget a face". Supposedly they met during the TOS Space Seed Episode. Chekov didn't come on board until the next season. So they never met.

When Spock is dying within the glass confines of the ships nuclear power source room with Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) on the opposite side of the glass, in one scene speaking to Spock, Admiral Kirk's red Federation uniform jacket lapel is unbuttoned at the top. In the very next scene the uniform jacket is buttoned.

Star Trek V - The Final Frontier

In the scene where Spock, wearing rocket boots, is in the turboshaft carrying Kirk and McCoy on either arm, he fires the booster rockets, thus propelling the three of them up the the turboshaft. If you watch carefully, the deck numbers in the background as they rise upwards go as follows: 35, 52, 64, back to 52, 77, 78, and then 78 again! Not content with one goof, Kirk and McCoy can quite clearly be seen with their feet dangling in mid air, not on Spock's boots. They aren't exactly clinging to him either, more like leaning against him. Surely Kirk and McCoy would be unable to hold onto him!

Star Trek: Generations

When Picard finally manages to squeeze through the hole in the force-field, and confronts Soran, they have a brawl. The actual time elapsed from the confrontation to the launch (I choose these points as the emergence from The Nexus later to the point when everything is hopeless, respectively), is fifty seconds. When Kirk confronts him after the entire bit in The Nexus, it's actually two minutes and ten seconds before Soran cloaks the missile, and another forty before is launches again after it's been uncloaked.

When Picard is inside The Nexus, his communicator is back, and when he leaves again, it's gone once again!

Near the end, when Data and Troi are searching through the rubble of the crashed Enterprise, there's a bright blue container in the background that's plugged up with plywood.

When Data and Troi find Spot, it's right next to several containers clearly marked HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Don't you think it would be wise to dispose of the hazardous materials, before letting anyone, much less senior officers, poke through the rubble?

As Data pulls his emotion chip from the holder, there is a shot of Geordi, and you can see through the visor (and they're not totally white!)

In the Nexus, nothing is real. It's all an illusion. You can be transported to anywhere and anytime. So, if Picard was transported to before the Nexus approached, wouldn't it have be just a virtual world inside the Nexus where nothing done would affect the real world?

In Star Trek V Kirk went on and on about how he would die alone so he didn't die in that movie. In Generations he died in the presence of Capt. Picard. This goes against all what part V was about!

Data's emotion chip was fused into his neural net and doctor Crusher said it "could not" be removed. If that is so why would Counsellor Troi ask him why he decided not to remove the emotion chip, if it "could not" be removed?

When they knew the warp core breach was coming, they did a big evacuation and separated the saucer section in the nick of time. Here's a thought: eject the warp core. They know how to do that. They talked about it in episodes all the time.

Soren launches the missile at the sun, the sun blows up, and the planet along with the Enterprise and its crew, are destroyed - the first time around. The movie shows the missile being launched, and a few seconds later (maybe 10) the star blows up - and this is seen in real time on the planet. Forgive me, but even if the missile made it to the star in a few seconds at warp speed, it would still take the light (and thus just about everything else, including gravitational effects) from the star to manifest itself on the planet! (It takes about 8 minutes for the light from our Sun to reach the Earth, for example).

According to the script, Picard went in the Nexus to Kirk to ask for his help. Then they both get out of the Nexus and back in time to beat Soran. Now, here is the dilemma: Since Picard and Kirk beat Soran, The Nexus was not diverted from its course, and did not pass through the planet. The result was that no one was in, or could get in, the Nexus. Because of this reason, Picard cannot enter the Nexus again. But if Picard did not enter the Nexus this time, he couldn't get Kirk and go back in time, which means he couldn't go back in time and stop Soran. Which means that he WOULD enter the Nexus again, which means that he would enter the Nexus, get Kirk, and stop Soran....or, in other words: Time Loop. Anyway, this way or the other, it also means that Kirk is not dead....I think. this is a real paradox that this script gave us....unless the "multiple universes" theory is true. [I'm sorry to say that I haven't seen this Star Trek film, so none of this makes any sense to me - can anyone elaborate?]

Soran needs to get to the Nexus. There is a planet that the Nexus will miss unless the sun is destroyed, in which case the Nexus will fly right through the planet. So Soran camps out on that planet and tries to destroy the sun. Before he blows up the sun, the nexus is seen flying through the sky BELOW the clouds! This is just not possible. On the enterprise, Picard and Data study holographic charts that clearly show how huge the Nexus is, and how far away from any clouds the Nexus will miss the planet by.

In Star Trek TNG's 4th or 5th season, they bring Scottie back for an episode under the pretence that he put himself into a continuous feedback loop in the transporter in order to survive a crash. The episode was called 'relics'. When Geordi, Worf, and Ryker beam down, the free him from the transporter. As soon as Ryker says that he is from the starship Enterprise, Scotti immediately says 'the Enterprise! I'll bet old Jim Kirk himself dragged her out of mothballs to come looking for me'. But wait! In Star Trek Generations (the movie), Scottie was on the Enterprise B when (he believed) Jim was pulled out of the ship when the Nexus (which no-one understood, at the time) collided with the ship. So, as far as Scottie is aware, Jim is dead. So why the statement in Relics about Jim being around to come looking for Scottie?

When the Enterprise crashes on Veridian III, the clear dome/skylight thing over the bridge is broken. What could possibly have done this? The dome certainly wasn't glass...it was made of the same stuff all of the other windows on the ship were made of, and none of them were broken....besides, in the crash shots, nothing happens to the Enterprise that could break that dome.

Data's cat, Spot, is a "she" in the movie, but was both a "he" and a "she" in the TV series.

If Picard could leave the Nexus and re-enter normal space/time at any point in time, why did he choose to go to the planet just before Soran destroyed the star? Why didn't he go back to when the Enterprise-D first encountered Soran on the observatory?

Star Trek: First Contact

The senior officers are giving their command codes to self destruct the Enterprise. Worf is one of those officers who give a command code. If Worf was serving on Deep Space 9, why would he have the authority to blow up the brand new Enterprise-E, which he was not assigned to?

At one point, when the away team is first investigating Earth for survivors, Data and Picard get shot at by Lili. Data confronts her face-to-face by leaping down the missile silo; what seems to be a few stories, and lands safely. In the episode "Arsenal of Freedom," Data proposes making a ten meter fall into a pit to rescue the captain, but everyone hesitates before he does. Yar even says "Data, you're sturdy, but not indestructible."

When The Borg assimilate anyone in this film, they are still wearing their uniforms. You can even see a communicator through a charred hole left by a holo-tommy gun, yet when they were assimilated in the show, the uniform came off first thing.

Data would not be able to disengage the auto destruct sequence himself. He would need the voice-authorisation of other senior officers.

At one point, several Borg venture out into open space to battle the Enterprise Crew who are in spacesuits trying to disconnect the main dish antenna. The Borg are not wearing any form of protection from the space. Isn't the temperature in open space just about absolute zero? It's at least minus 200-300 degrees F. How could their biological parts survive the hostile environment of open space?

When Lili shoots at Data, shouldn't that hurt him? There was an episode where Troi shot an arrow through Data (the one where Q made them reenact the Robin Hood story). While it didn't damage him, they made it sound like it could have. Even if he was bullet proof, being hit by that many bullets should at least have damaged his uniform.

When Picard was in the holodeck shooting the Borg, if the holodeck safeties were off, wouldn't the holographic bullets damage the holodeck as well as killing the Borg drones?
