John Anderson and Anne Haney in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)

Goofs

The Survivors

Star Trek: The Next Generation

Edit

Continuity

When the away party arrives at the survivors' home, Data describes Kevin as a botanist and his wife as a musician. However, later in the show Counselor Troi (or possibly another character) describes both Kevin and his wife as botanists.
Riker orders Geordi to "give it everything you can", which Geordi affirms as warp 9.37. In Q Who (1989), when fleeing from the Borg the top speed was stated to be warp 9.65.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

When the bridge crew first scans the plot of vegetation and structure in the middle of the otherwise destroyed planet surface, Data announces that the structure is in the center of the vegetation. However, when the landing party materializes in the Uxbridge's back yard, the house is clearly seen at the far left corner of the lot, surrounded from behind and its left by desolation.

However, the building is so large that it covers half of the screen, so that what is behind or to the right is out of view, so it cannot be determined how far back the vegetation extends.

Revealing mistakes

When the Enterprise is chasing the alien warship away from the planet at high warp, the view of the starfield from Counselor Troi's quarters is as though they are standing still.
When the first away team beams down to the planet, Crusher's lab coat is green. It appears blue (its proper color) for the rest of the scene, so it's not a matter of the atmosphere on the alien world tinting it.
When the first away team approaches the Uxbridge home, the windows are clearly reflective. When Rishon comes out of the house, black material has been placed over most of those windows, presumably to prevent reflections of the camera crew and equipment.

Miscellaneous

The conference room door on the bridge is wide open and remains open as Data states "The vessel is entering a low orbit around Rana IV."

Crew or equipment visible

After the warship has seemingly destroyed the Uxbridge house, Riker visits Picard in his ready room. When the doors open as Riker is walking in, it's clear that behind him the usual Comm and Ops seats where Wesley and Data sit have been removed from the bridge set and a large piece of black equipment is plainly visible sitting in the middle of the bridge set.

Plot holes

Boom mic visible

When Geordi asks Picard to come to the bridge near the end, the microphone can be seen in the reflection of his engineering bridge station.

Character error

When the Enterprise is under attack the second time, Worf says that the shields are down three times in a row after each attack. The shields were never brought back up after the first time. There is no need to announce again that they are still down.
