Star Trek Mistakes That Are Hard To Ignore

Few franchises have enthusiasts quite as devoted as Star Trek fans. Plenty of Trekkies will obsess over every tiny detail in the Star Trek TV shows and movies, so creators are constantly on the lookout to make sure there aren’t any mistakes or contradictions in their storytelling.
However, since the franchise includes many continuities and alternate realities, there are bound to be some things that don’t quite add up. From the Next Generation character who never seemed to get consistent characterization to Picard’s map that was missing New Zealand, let’s take a look at some Star Trek mistakes that are just really hard to ignore.

TNG

[@RH-zt9ph]

The original, by far the best writing.

[@BrooklynKnight]

TNG - DS9 - VOY and ENT ALL had episodes with transporter accidents and their consequences including reversing age, duplication, splitting, crossing universes, long term storage of a living being, fusing 3 distinct lifeforms into one unique being, the list goes on man. Like wtf did you research this article at all before writing and producing it?

[@robertballasty395]

The Animated Series had an episode with transporter used to cure artificial aging or radiation damage, something similar to Pulaski in TNG. In this story, they had the landing party's transporter scans from beaming down. They sent them back through to repair the cellular damage - it worked, reset everybody's cells to nice and healthy, but also reset the rest of their bodies, too - Kirk, Spock, McCoy, & redshirt lost all memory of the events of the story. It posed some interesting theoretical & ethical questions (as did James Blish's classic Spock Must Die!), but simultaneously gave transporters near-unlimited deus ex machina power to fix things as well as a trump card to make such power impractical to use.

[@mallios13]

Tuvix is a great episode of how the writing doesn't abide by its own logic. It's an utter failure of Trek's own internal rules. It's also a failure of philosophy, especially given the sci-fi wizardry at their disposal. An alien plant could not prompt symbiogenesis with two unrelated animal lifeforms (Neelix and Tuvok in this case), as the plant, Tuvok and Neelix are all alien to each other, and the plant's symbiogenesis would not be compatible with non-plant lifeforms. The transporters also rely on pattern locks and biofilters, so everything being transported would be done in a separate fashion, there should be no crossing over of different lifeforms anyway, just because the transporter can operate on several targets at once. The transporter would prevent the whole thing from happening, it absolutely would not be the catalyst of it. Tuvix claims that Tuvok and Neelix were not truly dead as they lived on in him; by his own puerile logic, separating him back into Neelix and Tuvok would not mean his own death, as he would live on in them. The episode also completely glosses over the mental, emotional, and biological complications that would immediately arise over two people and a plant being forcibly merged into one being. Tuvix wouldn't immediately acclimate to being the combination of two wholly different people, he wouldn't adopt his own identity, and would undoubtedly be thrust into so much existential turmoil that he'd beg to be separated, with Tuvok and Neelix undergoing years of mental therapy. Tuvix would also likely immediately endure organ failure all across the board as two unrelated alien species and a plant were forced into one body, prompting a variety of anatomical conflicts and rejections. But even if we acknowledge that this accident could occur and Tuvix is totally healthy and mentally/emotionally secure, separating him wouldn't have to result in his death, as replicators, transporters, and appropriate biomatter could be provided to not only restore Tuvok and Neelix, but retain Tuvix. The episode could've ended with Tuvix surviving and electing to leave the ship to pursue a life in the Delta Quadrant.

They forgot the biggest mistake. In Star Trek Generations, Scotty believes that Kirk died on the Enterprise B, but later in the Star Trek: TNG episode "Relics", Scotty thinks that Kirk is still alive.

[@geoffshang3564]

Actually, some text-to-speech systems today breathe. Probably the best known is the Alex voice which has been included in Mac OS since 2009. Personally, I think it's a bit creepy, but it would probably be ok with a voice that sounds more natural.

The only significant mistake that ever struck me about STTNG series was when Data used a clear contraction while talking to Tasha Yar in the episode where he and Tasha "hooked up" even though Data was supposed to be incapable of using contractions! Ooops! On the movie side, they didn't have any ships background white-noise in "Generations" which totally sucked and no matter what an outdated Klingon BoP should never have been able to destroy a Galaxy Class starship (shields frequency known or not) in ANY UNIVERSE! It was a pathetic way to get rid of the Enterprise D IMHO! :-| Otherwise, most of this other stuff I don't really "get" even having just seen it explained. LOL! ps. The Earth thru the air lock special effect was crummy, even for First Contact times!

The thing you have to remember about the stunt double issues 1:35 - 2:25 is that TOS and TNG were shown on broadcast TV.

I think it was Koenig who came up with the backstory that both Chekov and Khan were new to the Enterprise and hadn't yet gotten used to the shipboard food, and were both suffering a case of the runs as a result. Chekov was occupying the head when Khan, impatient, desperately ripped the door open and threw him out. In that one intense moment they each saw a face they'd never forget.

[@robertballasty395]

He first appeared manning the conn in the pilot of TNG. He was referred to as Chief from early on in TNG because he was the Transporter Chief, though he was clearly a Lieutenant. Weirdness was very noticeable somewhere season 4 or 5, an episode where Barclay (with O'Brien's help) discovers some missing people trapped in quantum/transporter/flux (Barclay makes O'Brien test his theory on him - ~"that's an order, I outrank you". Somebody thought Chief could only refer to Chief Petty Officer? Setting the stage for the beginning of DS9? He transferred to DS9 as Chief of Operations (helps in continuing to call him "Chief", though Data as 1701D's Operations Officer was never called "Chief" (though I think that Chief Engineers in Star Trek, who are usually officers, are sometimes shown being addressed as "Chief")). It was portrayed as a promotion from noncomm to officer (Ensign) with some cringeworthy early scenes with Doctor (Lieutenant) Bashir encouraging informality (or not). Somewhere between there or the end of DS9 I think they tried to explain it as Chief Master Petty Officer. Personally, I think they should have left him as an officer from the start (Lt.) His backstory as it was developed made it clear that he had long service before TNG, distinguished service, and could easily have earned a field commission. --- I also think they could have retconned all the screwups with 30 seconds of dialogue in the last episode of DS9. Have Sisko receive a classified dispatch saying "classified order #___ from Stardate 46xxx is now revoked" - he and O'Brien reveal to the others that due to Federation security concerns and diplomatic limitations from Bajor on the number and ranks of foreign (that is - Starfleet) officers on their station - O'Brien's record was altered to present him as a senior NCO, in order to have an talented & experienced officer (especially experienced from the previous war with Cardassians) in place at a potentially sensitive location. Now that the feared war is started and ended, and Bajor is a member of the Federation, they are free to reveal the truth, Kira is annoyed at Starfleet duplicity (but less so than she would have been 6 years earlier), O'Brien is revealed in his real rank as a full Lt., gets a promotion to Lt. Commander, gets his back pay, gets his appointment as an Academy professor, and Julian is gobsmacked that he was so condescending in Season 1 toward somebody who actually outranked him.

I'm not an expert on NZ, but it's farther than Australia than most people realize and if google maps is right, it should be mostly if not completely beneath the display. The distance from Delta Vega to Vulcan is never established and neither is the size of the black hole. Also there are TONS of astronomical things in Trek that made me cringe after learning how they work IRL. The Pike thing is idiotic I'll admit, but what does his backstory have to do with whether or not it's correct? So if you aren't a bridge officer until season 2 you 100% aren't on the ship at all in season 1?

To me, the biggest mistake is from the Voyager episode Threshold. Kim and Paris say that Warp 10 is infinite velocity. We have seen multiple starships going faster than the Warp 10. Just off the top of my head, in the original series, Nomad enhances the warp engines so that the ship could go Warp 11. Another one is in the episode “That Which Survives” and the engines are on overload and the Enterprise ends up reaching a maximum speed of Warp 14.1. And in The Next Generation episode “Where No One Has Gone Before”, the Enterprise is doing warp tests and ends up passing the so-called infinite speed barrier of Warp 10. The exact quote from Geordi is “Captain we’re passing Warp 10.” I absolutely hate that Voyager episode because it is such a thorn in the side of warp speed continuity. On multiple instances, there have been examples of ships going faster than Warp 10. I know some people might say that there was a warp scale change somewhere between The Original Series and The Next Generation, but I have never seen an in Cannon confirmation of that. So I just think the Voyager writers are idiots.
