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.

Mistakes

Elogium - S2-E4

Plot hole: In this episode Kes states that she has to decide now whether to have a child or not because Ocampa women can only get pregnant once and deliver one child. If that was the case they would have died out a long time ago, or never even evolved, as two people only getting one offspring would reduce the population to 50% of the original figure each generation.

Suggested correction: It's also possible that it's simply required of Ocampan women to give birth the first time they go through it, and can then experience it again.

Greg Dwyer

Nothing in the dialogue suggest Ocampa's can have additional children. While we can speculate about fictitious species, it's still a plot hole due to writing. Kes states she's going through the "elogium" which is a time of change where her body prepares for fertilization. She then explicit states the "elogium" only occurs once. While the doctor compares it to puberty, the elogium is both sexual maturity and "heat", that is, the time a female is ready for fertilization.

But it doesn't ever state the normalcy of birthing for Ocompans. Perhaps sextuplets is the norm?

Kes frequently used the word "child." If it was normal to give birth to more than one, she would know this and should say "children."

Bishop73

Do not forget that this is all done through the universal translator. For all you know the Ocompan word for child and children is the same so the translator cannot tell the difference.

Quotes

11:59 - S5-E23

Shannon O'Donnel: 5:00am, December 27th, 2000. I'm in the great state of...Indiana, I think. I saw the world's largest ball of string this morning and the world's largest beefsteak tomato this afternoon. It was the size of a Volkswagen. The string, not the tomato.

Trivia

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.

Questions

Chosen answer: Before Q sent the Enterprise to the beta quadrant to officially contact the Borg, there were already indications that the Borg was beginning to reach Federation territory. There were remarks towards the end of the first season of the Next Generation that several of the furthest Federation outposts were being attacked by some unknown enemy. They suspected the Romulans, but when contact with the Romulans was re-established, they learned that it was not them. The Hansens had simply figured things out much earlier than anyone else in the Federation. They learned about the Borg nine years earlier, but Starfleet mainly took notice when their outposts started getting wiped out. It is logical to assume that there were indications of Borg scouting parties and research efforts well before that.

Answer: Add to that, the two transport ships at the start of Star Trek: Generations were carrying El-Aurian refugees to Earth. It wasn't stated in the film what they were refugees of, but Guinan would state in TNG that the Borg wiped out her planet and most of her people, so it's a safe bet that's what it was. And with 47 El-Aurians being rescued by the Enterprise-B, there were plenty of people to tell Starfleet about this cybernetic threat. At the time though, Starfleet did not have the ability or resources to investigate this further, and it was eventually forgotten when other things became important until the Enterprise-D encountered that cube at J-25.

Answer: Keep in mind in Star Trek: First Contact; it's known the Borg were present during the first flight. It's also brought up again on Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2 Episode 23, Regeneration. Archer talks about how Zefram Cochrane mentions cybernetic aliens from the future were trying to attack the settlement and how another group of human beings from the future destroyed them.
