Goofs

When Josh is walking through the ship's casino for the first time, there are passengers in the background that appear to be playing on the video slot machines. None of them could be playing the video slot machines as they were all disabled. There is a black message box overlay on each screen that if in focus, would have said the machine is disabled.
