10 Dumb Mistakes Star Trek Wants You To Forget

Which moments left you scratching your head in Star Trek's long, twisted history?

Storywise it might be possible that Chekov was aboard the Enterprise during Space Seed and met Khan. Maybe he was just not a bridge officer and wasn’t present at the events depicted on screen.

BOBW Shelby: "I thought they weren't interested in human life forms, only our technology." Picard: "Their priorities seem to have changed." - so no error there since they addressed it.

The "I never forget a face" line isn't an issue imo. We sometimes make the mistake of thinking "if it didn't happen on camera it never happened." Its entirely possible that Chekov was on the Enterprise but just not part of the bridge crew. And doing so would not create any contradictions that I know of, e.g. this theory would be shot if in Chekov's first episode he was told "welcome to the Enterprise" or something along those lines

Your point about the Eugenics Wars is a good one; If the "bright future" wants to reference the "dark past", they shouldn't forget the cataclysmic event that came in-between.

I always interpreted the 'they have no interest in your crew" in the way that they need the ship to figure out where you are coming from. 1000 thousand drones are worth less than knowing where the home planet is.

For the gaseous anomaly equipment, I never even considered if it was a mistake. I just always thought it was supposed to be one of Starfleet's scientific priorities to investigate in that era, so most ships had the equipment on board.

The Enterprise-C "kit bash" is awesome looking. Wouldn't mind a series (that is driven by good writing) based on the Enterprise-C culminating in the anomaly.

Khan, "I never forget a face".
He has such a good memory, he even remembers people he's never met.

I can headcanon that Scotty, hearing that he's been rescued by the Enterprise, figured that Kirk had just hitch-kicked death in the face again and come to save him. Death didn't tend to stick to James T. Kirk.

Dude you KEEP missing the fact Spot was a male cat only to give birth in the last season haha. As for the Enterprise C, the one we got in Yesterday's Enterprise was FAR superior to that model...I think the C is every BIT as pretty as the D. Also I need to point out Borg changing priorities was not a mistake, nor was it a continuity error, it was addressed on the bridge. Shelby - "I thought the Borg weren't interested in Human life, only our technology" Picard - "their priorities seem to have changed". It was a change the writers knowingly made and used dialog to tie it into the story. That's an intentional decision, not a mistake.

[brianchiasson]

It's worth noting that the Enterprise C as seen in the episode isn't a kitbash. It's still a completely new design, but it was significantly simplified from Probert's original design in order to ease construction.

Maybe the Eugenics Wars are supposed to be "secret" wars during the time they occurred, but became well-known afterward.

[cartoonkelly]

I always believed Scotty’s memory was a little scrambled after so long in the buffer.

Adam Soong’s storyline in Picard might explain the missing Khan in the room… the “Shenzhen Convention” mentioned when he lost his license might have been drafted after the Eugenics War.

In "All Good Things, " the anomaly was larger in the past and smaller in "the future." Once the three Enterprises "caused" the anomaly, it would have started growing towards the past and not be visible afterwards. That always drove me crazy! I'm glad to finally vent about it. Congrats on 200K!

Congratulations on 200k subscribers! It's very well deserved - Everybody at TrekCulture deserves a gold-pressed latinum medal!

[cartoonkelly]

In All Good Things you can just blame Q for any continuity errors. That’s how I deal with any Star Trek details that don’t make sense in general.

[TheBertLocker]

In my mind, when Khan was doing his light reading in sickbay during Space Seed, he was paging through anything he could, including personnel records.

[chriswalton]

timelines are so hard to keep right, I don't blame them for struggling over the years lol

The one thing that is nice with the K'tinga class being in Enterprise is that it can be corrected right now. If TOS was able to get a full special effects make over, it wouldn't take much to fix the ship model issue in that Enterprise episode (They simply referred it to a Klingon Battlecruiser I think, please correct me, if I'm wrong). Same can be said with other special effects issues in other series as well.
