IN PURSUIT OF TRIVIA ---------------------- by Simon Plumbe, Matthew Dean ------------------------------- and Colin Gunn ---------------- Back for another assortment of irrelevant information!! As said in the introduction this time, the Questions have been moved to our new Q&A section. CLASSIC TREK ------------ * SPOCK'S BRAIN Ignoring the quality of this episode for a moment, watch the end scene where Kirk and McCoy are talking to Spock just after he has had his brain re-inserted. Spock is waffling on and it seems as if he isn't going to stop and you see Kirk grab for the remote control and try to switch him off!! THE MOVIES ---------- * STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN Watch the scene where Peter Preston dies, and leaves a big bloodstain on the white part of Kirk's tunic. The next time we see kirk, it seems to have gotten smaller, and moved! * STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME Oh I just love this one!!! Watch, or listen, to the bit when Kirk and party have just arrived in the 20th century - is that REALLY a Spectrum loading in the background? Surely the Klingon computers are more advanced than THAT?! THE NEXT GENERATION ------------------- * ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT In the scene where McCoy and Data are walking down the corridor together, McCoy asks Data if he is a Vulcan, and Data replies, "No sir, I'm an android." Didn't anyone tell Brent that Data can't use contractions? * A MATTER OF HONOR A bit of a line-fluff here, methinks!! Listen to the bit just after Mendon reports that he had detected the abnormal erosion on the hull. Now listen when Picard gets up. He says - "And I think that falls into the... this category...". * THE HUNTED A rather enjoyable one this! Watch the clip at the end where the rebels break into the room where Picard and his party, and all of the ministers are. After the rebel leader gets irritated, he shoots his weapon into the wall, leaving a hole. However, ten seconds later when we see the same shot, the hole has disappeared!!! * ENSIGN RO In the episode ENSIGN RO, Picard's command pips are missing from his 3 piece uniform. * SILICON AVATAR In the scene where Data and Dr. Mar are in the turbo lift, Dr. Mar instructs the lift to go to the Bridge. But when the doors open she and Data exit into a corridor. * POWER PLAY Yet ANOTHER bit (which I am not too sure of!), when, near the start, Data gets annoyed and punches the Ops panel several times. Look at the panel - is that really Brent's make-up coming off his hand???! * THE NEXT PHASE Odd thought - if Geordi and Ro had been phased, how come they didn't pass through the floor!?? * SCHISMS In SCHISMS Worf announces that Lt. Hagler has returned to the ship and is in his quarters on Deck 9 section 17. When Dr. Crusher gets to Haglers quarters she asks for her Medical team to report to Deck 9 section 19. DEEP SPACE NINE --------------- * EMISSARY At the end of the episode, we see the Enterprise return to DS9. The camera pans as the ship approaches the station but just watch the shadows on the saucer section. Although the Enterprise is moving, the shadow stays the same! STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - 1993 CALENDAR ---------------------------------------------- * This bit of trivia is wonderful - although not really a "screw-up". Look at the shot of Guinan on November. She is in Ten-Forward, and behind her you can see the Blue Screening that is eliminated to create the special effect of warp space! If you have any questions/trivia, then send them to the usual address.
