Six seasons of bloopers, flubs, technical screw-ups, and picayune plot discrepancies for discriminating fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation Stardate 41153.7-46999.9 Starship Enterprise, Registry NCC-1701D We’re watching you. . . Is there a control panel inside the turbo lift? (No . . . except in the episode “Brothers”) Do or don’t personnel have to tap their badge to access their communicator? (Only when the writers feel like it) Yes, we’re fans. But we’re not unobservant. Some of us even have Vulcanlike logic. Author Phil Farrand figures that even if you love somebody, you can tell them about that dab of mustard on their upper lip. So here’s a compendium for Trekkers who are unafraid of pointing the finger at oversights, and who know it’s great fun to find the sloppy mistakes (or cost-cutting cheating) in a show that takes itself very seriously. So get your VCR ready and your mind set for hours of enjoyment and mental stimulation with: • Plot oversights • Production problems • Changed premises • Equipment oddities • Trivia questions • Fun facts • Covers every show for the first six seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation • And more!

Six feature films, the wildly successful television spin-off "Star Trek: The Next Generation," endless reruns, videotapes, conventions, a line of best-selling novels, and William Shatner's "New York Times" best-seller "Star Trek Memories" have kept the "Star Trek" spirit alive and well, even 25 years after its cancellation. Now this must-have book for all Trekkers -- which covers every episode of the original series, the pilot, and all six movies -- reveals all the bloopers, continuity errors, plot oversights, equipment malfunctions, and goof-ups that discerning, die-hard fans love to spot, but may have missed. Written especially for all those who find themselves thinking, "Hey, if the transporter is broken, why don't they just use a shuttlecraft?," this nitpicky volume includes Kirk's toupee watch; an examination of the logic of the miniskirted female crew members; number of times Kirk violated the Prime Detective and lots of trivia questions, fun facts, quizzes, and more. Live long and nitpick.
