Star Trek: Voyager

Endgame (1) - S7-E25

Corrected entry: Seven of Nine knows about the existence of the Borg transwarp hub (and the fact that there are six of them), but she seems to have forgotten its location.

Correction: Seven is disconnected from the Collective and probably doesn't recall every detail from her experience. She likely recalled the number of hubs because it was an important fact, but the locations may have been less well known (or hidden from drones to keep their location secret if the drones were ever liberated).

Workforce (1) - S7-E16

Corrected entry: The whole crew is forced into the Workforce of another society - but what of little Naomi Wildman? Where was she during all of this? Surely they didn't arrange for childcare.

Correction: Why wouldn't they? Surely Voyager can't be the first ship to arrive at this planet with children on board & they arrange other amenities for the workforce.

Shattered - S7-E11

Corrected entry: In Chaotica's lab Chaotica throws Captain Janeway's hypospray away. Later when Seska takes her hostage we can see her hypospray.

Correction: After Chaotica throws away her hypospray, the scene cuts to Chakotay and Janeway in the hall. Perhaps she stopped to retrieve the hypospray before leaving, but it was not shown. Or they could have easily gotten another from the Doctor.

Endgame (2) - S7-E26

Corrected entry: The Borg Queen keeps insisting that Seven keep Janeway away from the Nebula, but both Before and After this insistence she says she doesn't care about Voyager and it can't possibly destroy the Transwarp Hub. Which is it?

Correction: She's the Borg Queen. Do you really think she would show weakness by admitting that Voyager was a real threat? She's just blustering.

Critical Care - S7-E5

Corrected entry: Gar is trading in iridium which is claimed to have a very short half life, allowing Tuvok to deduce how far away Gar could have gotten it. In reality, iridium is a stable metal and has no half life.

Correction: There are many radioactive isotopes of iridium. See http://chemlab.pc.maricopa.edu/periodic/Ir.html.

Friendship One - S7-E21

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the episode, the "Friendship 1" probe does a flyby. On it, you see Federation and Starfleet markings. During the briefing after the credits, Tuvok states that the probe was launched 4 years after Zephram Cochrane's first warp flight. Cochrane's warp flight was in 2063 and the probe was launched in 2067 The United Federation of Planets didn't exist until 2161, and even though there was techinically a Starfleet, it's well known that it didn't adopt the "arrowhead" (aka "Delta) style symbol until the 2240's.

Correction: Fan speculation and trivia generated in other media (novels, comics, blueprints, guides, etc) cannot be used to gauge a mistake. Mistakes only count if they contradict what was established in a previous film or television episode. And the date of origin of the arrowhead insignia has never been stated in any.

Future's End (2) - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: As Starling prepares to launch the timeship from the bay behind his office, there is a shot of the exterior of the ship. In the background of this shot, there is a white wall on the right. This wall carries the company name and logo. However the name is misspelled here as Chronowerks, instead of Chronowerx as was shown on the outside of the building and behind Starling and Janeway when they were in the office.

Future's End (1) - S3-E8

Trivia: Rain Robinson has a model of a DY-100 on the window sill in her office. In 1996 (also the year this episode is set), Kahn left Earth in the SS Botany Bay, a DY-100 class starship.

Question: Is there any technology featured in Star Trek Voyager, or other Star Trek series for that part, that seemed futuristic in the late 20th century, but are now reality?

Answer: If you include the original Star Trek series (1966) then there are several. The communicators used in the original series were before (and said to inspire) mobile phones. We currently do have teleportation technology but it currently only works on things the size of a few molecules. A "Cloaking device" also exists; it's a fabric that bends light through it, though it currently only works in infra-red. The Hypospray is real and was patented in 1960 - six years before the original series aired - it's actually called the Jet Injector. Faster Than Light travel is still a few decades off, but there are several real-world theories that look promising, including one that is remarkably similar to the method used in the Star Trek Universe called the Alcubeierre Drive that involves manipulating spacetime ahead and behind the ship and the ship "riding" it. Medical techniques and technologies have also advanced considerably; prosthetics particularity and we routinely have robots performing surgeries where absolute precision is needed. The "Shield" used in the series have a few primitive versions around. The Phasers used in the series are used but are not very powerful (nor will they ever be as powerful as the Star Trek version the laws of physics gets in the way) but rail-guns (using magnets to spin then propel a projectile) and particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider have been around for a while. The Replicator would require a nuclear fusion reactor and a nuclear fission reactor in something the size of a large oven and the Holo-deck wouldn't work at all based on our current understanding of physics so those are both still science fiction at the moment, but who knows!

Answer: 3D printers can be seen as sort of a Replicator.
