Mr. Plinkett's Super Happy Fun Star Trek: The Next Generation Mistakes Video

- Hello friends! It’s been a while... It’s me, Mr. Plinkett! Now, you all know I love Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’ve been watching episodes on the Blu Rays recently and I started to notice lots of little production errors. Things that the quick and dirty TV production of the 80’s and 90’s probably overlooked, didn’t notice, or didn’t care about. I thought, why not catalog all these charming little blunders into a video? I also thought to myself, they really could have digitally erased these mistakes when they made them Blu Rays. But they didn’t. They were TNG purists. No updates, no new visual FX. No "special editions"... I’ll take a show with good stories and barn doors over a show with a clean, flawless production and characters that act like grade school-educated idiots any day. Alas, to me, TNG is still a perfect show as even the best of us have our flaws.

It's sad people don't realize this isn't a Mr Plinkett video, this is just Mike talking normally now.
Without the spastic colon serial killer footage spliced in, what’s the difference?
His transformation is nearly complete
He was never the same, not since Rich performed that fatality on him.
what 30 years of hard drinking will do to a mofo
I like to think that Mr Plinkett has been Mike's future self hauting him from the future.
Somehow Mr. Plinkett returned
🤣
Goddamn this is a good ass comment
Secrets only the cat knew.
He flies now?
You win the internet for Sunday Feb 18th 2024. Congrats. 😂
Wow Mike, the lady spilt hot chocolate on Picard, not coffee. I can see why Rich is the reigning trivia champion
And for extra points it’s the women with three boobs from Total Recall.
she's the mutant lady with three tiddies from Total Recall
Fun fact: that young lady was the three-breasted woman from Total Recall (the good one from the 90s).
@@addison8078did the Total Recall remake even had its three-tittied chick in it so that it needed to be specified which one you're talking about..?
Mr. Plinkett is so good at finding boom mic shadows from watching ghost adventures with Mike and finding orbs
♫ Yes, I'm being followed by a boom shadow, boom shadow, boom shadow. ♫
The trick is to turn the brightness up while watching. Then they just jump out at you.
It's not that they thought these mistakes/goofs would be hidden by the old TVs they were intended for, it's that they didn't think anyone would watch each episode 1000 times.
Well, it is Star Trek.
LMAOOOOOO
I'm glad they made a show where anyone actually cared 25 years later. No one is critiquing the marks and light reflections on 8 is enough, or Columbo.
I've watched each episode at least 1000 times and somehow have NEVER noticed any of these, I suck as a nit picky Trekkie.
The Boom Mic appears more than cast members. It should of been given a script
It's kinda cute to see Mike trying to act like Mr. Plinkett to shift blame for this unbelievable amount of embarrassing useless knowledge.
Mr. Plinkett is Mike's id made manifest.
If you're good at something, never do it for free
How embarrassing
@@davidasylum1870 If you're nothing without your eyebrows, don't ever do it for free
He mentioned in an interview that he needed some comedy to punch up his long diatribes, otherwise they would be annoying, which is why he used the Plinkett character for the star wars prequel videos (which was actually originally Rich's character).

RedletterMedia was a long-play by Mike, to make a StarTrek-fan CZcams channel. He knew it would never work at first, without first building up a strong fanbase. After almost 15 long-years and endless Star was fodder, Mike's master plan has come to fruition.
It was always StarTrekMedia.
Soon they will transition to doing 100% TNG trivia shows. And the world will rejoice.
Right on. Before it was Star Was. Now is Star Next.
Those dreams were crushed by Shatner. Don't put salt in the wound.
@@instcakehow about a little dirt in the eye?

this kind of feels like visiting Grandpa and listening to his old stories that seem trivial and don't really make sense but you can tell they're really important to him
my grandpa used to tell stories about that dumb war against some knots or something too, i just tuned him out in favor of my gameboy.
"so you start the watch when Salem comes onscreen, then stop it when he's off. Then you write the time down, and indicate whether it was that _crappy puppet,_ or an actual cat."
"are _all_ these tapes Sabrina the Teenage Witch?"
"Well obviously, son, it's the only show that STARRED Salem the Cat.
'So I decided to go to Terok Nor, which is what they called Deep Space Nine in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the shuttle cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of tribbles on 'em'
You are just calling him senile in the gentlest possible way aren't you?
It's all fun and games until you realize you were also watching and loving the same show he was when he was a kid.
Picard taught us it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose, but this show taught us you can commit many, many mistakes and still win.
I believe tng was more popular than the original.
@@PanzerblitzRnRNo he means Picard, as in the famous quote in Season 2, Episode 21 - Peak Performance (TNG):
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life".
Boy, that’s REALLY embarrassing, a Star Trek aficionado like Rich Evans would’ve known that I’m sure.
@@murtleisme You know this is all a bit, right? Mike and Rich don't know dick about Star Trek. Their Trekkie personas were created by Jay (who is not a fan, but has encyclopedic knowledge stemming from a decade-long forum feud about Babylon 5).
@@murtleisme Shit, you're right. I've been fired.
I needed this :)
Riker: "Increase to warp 6"
LeForge: "Aye sir, full impulse"
Mr. Plinkett: "What?!?!"🤣🤣
Ikr I was DYING 🤣
What a weird flub. Did LeVar Burton get the wrong script? I would expect this level of incompetence in Discovery but not TNG.
@@Tar-Heel-Dweller To be fair it's early TNG and everyone knows early TNG was not well received.
Mike’s “WHAAT??” always gets me 😆
I think the best in universe explanation is that there was a reason to go to impulse before warp?
But that would be really bad CRM.
Gosh, Plinkett is able to so beautifully and elegantly shatter the illusion of storytelling in my favorite show and destroy the sense of wonder I feel. He's incredible.
"Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement."
I've watched TNG through a million times at this point and never noticed any of this crap. After watching this video, in the very next episode I watched I spotted camera lights in reflection, and a power cord coming out from under a console and then going under a carpet. Hope I'll forgot and stop noticing soon...
oh its you
@@ShortFatOtaku Who am I?
i can't believe i never noticed all those giant white arrows before
The random guy's hands and arms playing the flute in front of Patrick Stewart nearly made me choke on my coffee. Plinkett is right and I can't unsee it, ever, for the rest of my life.
he's all "i can't confirm this" but the way his mouth pivots the flute when someone else is playing it is SO obvious I'm dying
I do remember first seeing that scene and something about it striking me as kind of odd. Now I realise the hands are WAY too big and hairy to be Patrick Stewarts's.
My daughter played the oboe in high school. She should have hired Patrick Stewart's flute stuntman for her finger movements, because it was obvious that she wasn't playing.
Almost as creepy as Michael Fassbender homoerotically teaching himself to play in promotheus.
Patrick Stewart was clearly on the verge of losing it over the hands fingering the flute. I bet there are a half dozen outtakes of him dying with laughter and this edge case was the best take of the lot
I've been in a dark place, it has been so long since I've heard Mr. Plinkett. And now tonight, I can safely say I'm in an even darker place. Thanks RLM!
Is it because of all the black paper?
@@snakedogmanunderrated comment
As a musician, it's sort of a curse that whenever someone supposedly plays an instrument on television or in a movie, I can tell whether or not they're actually playing.
Amadeus was a little painful in that regard.
My ex was a courtroom reporter and that was her curse watching anything with a trial scene. Not only were the fingers always wrong, the motions themselves were not even close.
@clintonwilcox4690 Try watching the episode in season 1 where Riker has a holodeck girlfriend in a jazz club, and it'll drive you nuts. The drummer's brushes don't touch the snare drum or the cymbal, the pianist does not depress the keys, and in a close-up of the bassist's hand, the strings do not vibrate after supposedly being plucked.
Making rewatching TNG at high definition a business expense is one of my favorite things about RLM.
Jay: "Mike, do you have to watch Star Trek on company hours? We have to find a way to cure Rich Evans of his crippling diabetes... and AIDS!"
Mike (beer in hand): "SHUT UP! I'M DOING IMPORTANT RESEARCH!"

This is like the opposite of a 'you can't unsee it' type video. Every mistake Mr. Plinkett pointed out I immediately forgot after navigating away from the video.
even the Picarms?
Especially the picarms@@whompronnie
Just like how once I was told about the Stormtrooper hitting his head on the door in A New Hope, I now see it every time. AND hear it lol
@@SvendleBerriesno, that's the opposite.
@@genegade
No, it's the opposite.
This is so petty and so wonderful for its pettiness. It's pettiness raised to an artform. This video is an ode to the madness of extreme fandom and I love it. How much time did it take Mike to find and edit all of these examples? Insanity.
A lot of the petttiness is softened by the perspective, since his frustration a lot of the time seems to be sympathizing with the struggles of the people making the show, rather than annoyed at the crew, for example all his wishing to get rid of that one particularly troublesome strip of shiny plexiglass with the ship on it. His nitpicks sound a lot like how you imagine the crew might've complained about some of that stuff being more trouble than it was worth.
Mike's magnum opus. It took him 12 years to make; he grew up on screen, right before our eyes.
Mike's magnum opus will be his collaboration with Tarantino on how Jay rescued Johnny from white slavers.
the 12 years to make joke is almost 12 years old…
How long did it take to make, though?
Needs more girls get it done
Out of those 12 years, I cherish the first 2 the most... before his dementia kicked in...
I love how Mike has rewatched tng so many times he just sees power cords and carpet squares now
I don't think it's the number of times rewatched. Once you have "insider knowledge" of something you start to notice things by default. Depending on your personality, that becomes part of the fun of participating.
And black construction paper.
@@MKDumas1981 Someone left a console behind this piece of black construction paper!
@@Kandralla Yes, but i guesss mike watches TNG whenever he comes home drunk, so pretty much every day and sometimes twice a day...
I rewatch TNG now and all I see are breasts. Can we get a TNG nip slip episode?
I was hesitant to watch this as I'm firmly in the camp of "I can't unsee it once it's pointed out." But this is a level of detail far beyond my world. I can continue rewatching TNG infinitely and never be bothered by the random tape and extension cords. Never leave us again, Mr. Plinkett!
PICARD HANDS
I don't think coffee stains count as mistakes. Ensign Clumsy wasn't the only coffee-spiller in Starfleet, and all those stains have to wait for Chief O'Brien, the only enlisted man in Starfleet, to come around and clean them up.
Those weren't coffee stains. They were Armus' offspring waiting for their moment to absorb Riker again!
I can't believe Mr. Plinkett would do such a blunder and refer to the Holographic Environment Simulator (22:23) as an entertainment simulator, twice (22:39). I bet Mike wouldn't have done that himself as the senior Star Trek expert.
Boy I hope someone got fired for that blunder
Rich needs to film a mistake video for this mistake video.
MISTAKECEPTION: A video coming up by RLM fans that showcase the mistakes by RLM covering mistakes!
I think it's finally time for Mr. Plinkett to go live on a farm...
These hack frauds.
The Picard flute hands thing is something I never noticed before but once you're looking for it it's stunningly obvious. Wild.
I've actually heard this made note of in the past. They just aren't at the right position to be Picard's hands.
I cant unsee it
He’s even kind of smiling in that shot, like he knows another person is there but has to keep it together
You're mostly looking at peoples faces so I would never have noticed any of this. I did notice a red shirt die and the actor was obviously breathing.
It always felt creepy and cringey AF
[Cinema Sins ding]
Plinkett: Shut up, I'm talking!
Underneath this video it gave me an ad for some quiz to help with overcoming procrastination tendencies. I'm not procrastinating, CZcams! I'm getting the most important things done first today: watching a video about minor filming mistakes in a science fiction television program from the 90's. I'll waste time at the gym and cleaning the house only after this grueling work is done, thank you
We all thought Mike was simply getting senile, but no, it's that his brain is just so filled with _Star Trek_ mistakes there's room for nothing else anymore.
Mike is very senile. At 1:39 he told Johnny to "hit it", forgetting that he was abducted by white slavers 9 years ago.
Red Letter Media is transitioning into Red Alert: a Star Trek Nostalgia Channel. I support this… for Mike’s mental health in his advancing golden years.
That Picard season 2 review really drove him and Rich to complete madness. So yeah, this is healing.
Since this means he rewatched everything 100 times for footage I’m going to assume we’re finally getting our every episode retrospective
I Love that we're such geeks for this show that we notice this stuff, but also that they pretty much pulled all of it off working with what they had. It took hd remakes and a kajillion watches to find this stuff. Hats of to them for cranking these episodes out and making magic for us all.

Mike's really compensating for that HORRIBLY embarrassing Star Trek: The Next Generation Trivia Showdown. LOSING (by roughly 100 points) to Rich Evans has got to be the second worst way to end a promising career in the field of Star Trek trivia!
I heard Mike was going to cut Rich's pay after that ep but he doesn't get paid anything to appear in these videos to begin with
I didn't know I needed a 30 minute Plinkett video of him nitpicking bts of his favorite show until we got it.
"This is all stupid anyways. Why are you watching this?" made me truly ponder exactly that. Then I kept watching.
Tootling the flute while blowing the Captain's horn, now that's a talented man.

Me: Ahh, endorphins...
I find it hard to believe that any Star Trek fan would be so pernickity about these sorts of details. Mr Plinkett must be a special case!
Well most of us don't have the moviemaking knowledge that Mike has to even know where to look for these mistakes. That's why RLM is so amazing and is so unlike other movie related channels: RLM people are movie making guys themselves, not just armchair critics like thousands of other youtubers.
The carpet in a room used by dozens of people every day having stains is just adding to the realism
it's the "used universe" concept from Star Wars
I was kind of hoping that 300 years from now they would have at least solved carpet stains.
@@rapter229 at least they've still got coffee
Does the Enterprise even _have_ cleaning staff?
They just beam out the carpets and replicate new ones once in a while.
As someone who works full time in film as a gaffer and lighting technician, I'm honestly surprised that there aren't more mistakes like this. Hiding the production equipment, camera marks, and boom mics is a very big part of our job and its a credit to the professionalism of the crew that they did such a great job of that.
Just yesterday I was gaffing a music video and using black paper tape to hide a light and some reflections. The dolly grip jokingly remarked, "you could make a whole film with just black paper tape man," and he's right. While there are some obvious cover ups on the bridge for reflections, there are probably a thousand other occurrences of black paper tape or matte card stock in shot that you can't see, even in HD.
I had the chance to work for Marvin Rush (no relation as we found out after discussing our heritage) for a few weeks a few years ago. He who was the cinematographer for TNG, Voy, DS9, and Ent, and it was really hard not to be a total nerd around him and relate every shot he asked me to light to some Star Trek scene that he had done. 😂
Did you ever have a chance to work with .......RUSH? 😁
How did you get into that line of work?
You can tell as well that they got a lot better at hiding things in later seasons.
They really should have thought more about the back screens when building the bridge set though. Even mild angling of the panels would reduced the lighting glare substantially.
The actors marks would also have been such an easy fix when transferring to Blu-Ray. Im not going to be able to unsee them now haha.
Every little piece of paper is another piece of love.
I work in VFX and we get to clean up all of the errors and paint out markers nowdays. That's what the spotting sessions are for. On top of known errors, a bunch of people sit and watch every frame to pick up anything the budget is willing to fix in post. If the production is effects heavy, then it's sort of already in the budget.
On some shows I got into arguments over fixing things I knew was wrong and was told: "nobody's going to notice". And I always knew how wrong they were. These iconic shows get rewatched countless times. Every pixel gets scrutinized. Fans do care, and sometimes do so a lot more than people actually making the program.
I remember working on a film where VFX had to do so much cleanup of puppet work, that we ended up remaking everything in 3D and on special features, they show our shots, while interviewing the puppeteers, as if it's their work, when in fact, their part of the job failed most spectacularly.
I am so serious when I say I would listen to Mike do a TNG podcast, with a full breakdown of each episode and fun facts.
Great video. Really enjoyed this one. I agree with you and others. The Picard flute hands are something I'll never be able to unsee. They're so clearly moving independtly of his body.
This was made becauae Mike was carefully studying ecery episode to avoid another CRUSHING trivia loss from Rich Evans
OMG, I literally re-watched the Picard Season 3 reviews yesterday where Mike says, "One day I'll finish my Star Trek TNG mistakes video". Its like Frontier-Day came early!
Hah, same here. Cosmic coincidences.
I didn't know he did a Titanic review until last evening! I was super excited to listen to that one hour analysis!

Just noticed another nitpick I hadn't seen before: At @23:50, when the turbolift opens, the carpet in the turbolift clearly extends past the turbolift floor itself, and is almost continuous with the carpet of the deck floor, almost as if the turbolift is part of the same flooring as the deck, like it's one big "set" or something.
This video has actually been really useful. I have to record a video for work this week and now I know about marks it's going to help me to be much more accurate in the way I go about things. Thanks, Mr. Plinkett!
Patrick getting sleepy during the Vulcan talking always makes me laugh, I just imagine Picard thinking, "Gosh can we just wrap these negotitations up..."
Isn't that the one that turned out to be a Romulan? He should've been more alert!
@@keithm4953 They actually pulled that trick a couple of times (vulcans turning out to be romulans). You'd think it'd be easier to tell them apart.
@@ThePoshboy1 even the romulans understand enough about humans that when they make a Geordi duplicate, they make sure to get a black guy.
You just know Mike had an absolute blast making this
I thought I remembered some old guy talking about black paper. So glad this other not-old guy made an explainer, just in case I ever wondered.
It's why they call him "Boom Mike"
I wonder if it was him just getting a silly idea then looking for mistakes or if he and Rich sat down with some beers to pick out mistakes for fun and that just turned into a video.
"Oh noo, I guess I have to watch the entire Star Trek: TNG series from start to finish again. Don't worry Jay, I cleared it with myself first."
Thank you Mr Plinkett - you have shown the world (or perhaps reminded them) how to be hyper-critical but still be respectful. Your love and admiration for STTNG is obvious, and it was good fun running through these errors while at the same time being able to admire what everyone still achieved on the show. Well done for hitting that perfect tone, so rare these days in an age where people assume you need to be extreme to be noticed. Great editing too Mike!
22:00 Very clever of the production crew to use the holodecks to make sets instead of having build them physically.
In a weird way, I actually love the fact that these "blemishes" exist. It adds character to the show and makes it obvious that it was actually filmed, and not just animated to perfection. It's perfectly imperfect so to speak.
i agree
you kiss-ass!
Star Trek has kind of an earnestness to it that I think was actually improved by the high episode numbers. The occasional cheesy episodes or overly abrupt third-act resolutions are part of the charm. Sometimes it's just fun to hang out with Quark, Rom and the Nagus for an hour even if you've heard the jokes before.
Yeah it's weird seeing them. All these bits I associate with the original series and (after season 1) remember TNG being super polished.
If you love that stuff (and you should), just wait until you discover Blake's 7.
"Increase to Warp 6!"
"Aye sir, full impulse!"
Man, season one was a hilarious mess.
Rich Evans is such a prolific artist he can both play Mr Plinkett liveaction and make an imitation of Mike imitating Plinkett. Such a great range as an actor and voice actor.

My favorite is when you’re in the middle of a take, and the boom operator uses the time to eyeball the monitor while they lower and raise the boom mic to see if it’s in the shot.
Oh my god that recorder-player swap at 5:51. That's 1000% another dude. Just mind-shattering.

I asked Brent Spiner at a convention once years ago if it's true he hated cats. He quipped no, he just hated THAT cat and got a good laugh. Then I saw him us the bit later on stage at some show! 😂
That song at the end is bopping.
I think the lesson to take away from this is that if something is good enough- acting, storytelling, and whatnot- it's a lot easier for mistakes to show up in shot and get ignored or go unnoticed as they pass by. I think that's why most people ignore, or may not even notice, these mistakes in shows like TNG, versus everyone noticing the Starbucks cup in Game of Thrones.
Man, RLM’s other stuff has way surpassed Plinkett. When HITB dropped 10+ years ago, people just wanted more Plinkett reviews. It was smart to push through the risk of branching out and failing. They could’ve just fallen into the trap of hitting the Plinkett whopper button to diminishing returns, becoming another “damn, they’re still around?” channel after their moment passed.
Today through consistency and force of personality, they have the freedom to do anything they want without losing their audience. Star Trek trivia, an embarrassing movie about a space cop, Jenga with Macaulay Culkin… it’s incredible really. Love you guys, RLM forever.
i absolutely love your pfp
I do still think it's the best way of reviewing rise of the Skywalker if he ever decides to
Yeah, just look at AVGN as an example of never being able to branch out and being forced to milk a series for eternity.
They're about family...
I remember one of the Plinkett videos even includes a comment that says something along the lines of "Where's the next Plinkett video nobody gives a shit about Half in the Bag you fat loser". Here we are 10+ years later and the staying power of Half in the Bag is incredible. I will never forget the drunk Halloween episode. "Good night sweet cats" indeed.
Thank goodness we are done with that weird movie stuff and back to our regularly scheduled Star Trek content.
Every Star Trek video you guys do is wonderful, thank you!
Coffee stains on the Enterprise carpet are lore-accurate in my head.
The ceiling of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was equipped with advanced autonomous recording drones and camera devices to document the ongoing mission of Captain Picard and his crew.
Starfleet used this for years. Captain Kirk's trial showed that starfleet gives crew zero privacy and films every little thing

Have you ever seen a trash can on the Enterprise D?
People must just haphazardly throw stuff on the ground, expecting the ship to automatically clean it, eventually.
Some men write poetry to express the divine emotion of Love. Some men paint. Some men make everlasting works of architecture or music.
But Mike, Mike has made the most shining edifice of all.
The presence of the boom mics, black paper cards, power cords and stained carpets strongly suggests that Star Trek is in fact a television show.
Hot taek alert
Stuff like coffee stains, messed up carpets, dents, broken lights, and loose cables or wires taped to things, honestly seems perfectly understandable for a military vessel on a long deployment. Stuff's gonna break, people are gonna spill food and drink, I'm honestly surprised the Enterprise looks as clean as it does 😅
My thoughts exactly having served on a couple warships.. the general rundown state random patches and extension cords make it feel real lmao
That would make sense, but I remember Picard saying once that the Enterprise is so advanced it basically cleans itself.
Besides, the ship usually gets repaired & refurbished in dry dock after a demanding mission.
Yah all of these can easily be explained using in canon resources.
Most of it is caused by the nightshift though.
The "boom mic" is actually the reflection of a _cantangent frombustulator._
True Star Trek fans are already aware of what these do so I won't bore people with that.
Oh my god, I'll never be able to unsee the black paper now.
Thank you for this. I was kinda having a bad morning. This cheered me up lol
We need so much more of Mr plinkett. Best thing on here
"Wesley's poop stains on the carpet..."
Okay, I straight up broke down at this point...
"Wesley's boob stains on the carpet..."
I also would have thought there would have been more dribble stains on the ground around Wesley from when he was near that young woman (she turned out to be a weird transforming entity that he wanted to bone... so I guess that confirms he is somewhat related to Captain Kirk).
When the world needed him most, he came back.
You really need that much head?
💩💩💩
@@DirectInputYou can never get too much head
This was great. I hope you guys end up doing this more.
How can a RLM video like this be so hilarious yet so damn informative?! Like, now I cannot unsee all these errors the next time I watch TNG!
I like that we're not even pretending that this isn't an exclusive Star Trek channel now.
AND Kyle Gallner
Thank you Mr. Plinkett, for taking time off of watching Night Court to watch TNG like no one has ever watched it before
He still has every episode on VHS tape. But sadly, no working VHS machine to play them.
@@lancebaylis3169he needs to find a team of VCR repairmen that can fix it lightning fast
Boom shadows always make me smile. Watched the 4K Pulp Fiction and spotted one and it kind of made my day.
In a long list of terrific content, this is easily the best video produced by RLM. And believe me, that's really saying something.
In the spirit of trivial nitpicking: that's not a cane at 2:44, that's the bow of a stringed instrument (the scene is set at a string quartet performance).
Came to the comments for this. WHAT A MISTAKE
What a BLUNDER from a *supposed* Star Trek fan, Mike S- i mean, Mr. Plinkett
What a hoax!
@@ganjalf27 Get Rich Evans to be Mr. Plinkett!
5:35 "Hey, Steve, What are you doing in that weird position with your head between Patrick Stewart's legs" - "I am playing the flute! What did you think?!"
The organ?
Great excuse for Mike and Rich to rewatch TNG again. But holy shit...you guys notice things.
7:30 I choose to think one of these is the turbolift's escutcheon tubes. They exist in real elevator doors to allow them to be unlocked manually. The other one is a chip in the paint though, I can't explain that away
The Carpet Square (at 7 minutes) is because that corridor set doubles up as the Engineering set.
That’s a good catch! 7:00
So it's to power the engineering table. Right!
This is correct. It is where the pool table goes.
Explains why ejecting the warp core always takes a few seconds, unless the plot needs it to take longer.
The carpet stains and paint scuffs just adds realism and a kind of homely feel , 1000 plp live there for years
They forgot to bring custodians, housekeeping, site maintenance and janitorial staff
hats off to you, Mr. Plinkett. this is truly a masterpiece
That “doors” segment drips of,
“I hope someone got fired over that blunder.”
XD
This was actually Mike's ploy to become an expert at TNG to destroy Rich's confidence in the next episode of ST Trivia by watching every second of the show over and over again.
