A few Youtube videos pointing out a series of continuity blunders:











(apologies if already posted, search yielded no results)

Thats pretty good. I remember a few of them. The one where Picard has that valuable artifact. It caught my notice when he just tossed it aside in Generations.

Some of the things I would say aren't really continuity errors, like Picard saying he was completely recovered from being a Borg when he wasn't (that's just something I like to call "lying"), but over all, yeah. Pretty good.

More than strictly continuity, it's the usual problem of the writers not bothering to check the previous material, particularly noticeable in the movies.

The Pasteur/Enterprise flub in "All Good Things" is pretty funny though considering it's in the same episode.
Hell I'm pretty dull about catching continuity errors the first time I watch anything and even I got that one.

I'm sure a good number of those Data ones from the show to the movies could be considered "Upgrades"

but yeah, LordOskuro is right about the writers not bothering to make sure it doesn't contradict anything.

I remember when I first saw Insurrection and the whole "I never kissed you with a beard before" line and I was like "wait what?".

I always thought that it was showing Picard's new appreciation for the importance of family and relationships.

The Kurlan Naiskos wasn't really worth as much to him as the Picard family album.

Except it was a gift given to him by his beloved mentor who died like right afterwards.
Picard would never treat it like that.

Of course that wasn't Picard, but Larry.

For some reason Q's expressions when he's telling that kid, "DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!" had me in stitches. XD

On a couple of those 'gold' shots in the second video, isn't Quark directly comparing them to latinum? I recognize one of the shots as 'Who Mourns for Morn?" and that gold he was crumbling was supposed to be filled with latinum. In that case, it is worthless gold.

Yes, there is no reason he should have done so. How hard is it for him to hand it to Riker and then pick up his album?

Perhaps because they thought it would be more dramatic and have more of an impact if he tossed it aside?

Perhaps because they just got a prop from the series and used it without considering its significance?
