Star Trek: Enterprise

Correction: The Sphere was hidden from Enterprise's sensors, and T'Pol could only approximate how far away the Sphere was supposed to be (75,000 kilometers). When Archer reports, he says they've "approached 79,000 kilometers and still no sign," meaning they've gone past T'Pol's original estimate with still no visible sign of the Sphere.

Stigma - S2-E14

Corrected entry: Archer says he doesn't remember T'Pol being attacked in "Fusion." But in that episode, he lured T'Pol's attacker into his cabin, got into a fight, and threatened him with a phase pistol because he knew the guy assaulted T'Pol.

Correction: He says, "You were attacked. I remember."

Carpenter Street - S3-E11

Corrected entry: Captain Archer does not know how to drive a car, but he is from a time when they had cars, and Trip even says in a previous episode that the escape pod him and the princess are in reminded him of his first car. (02:05:15 - 02:06:20)

Correction: Just because cars were still in use, it does not mean everyone can drive one. Archer's father was a pioneer of space travel, so it is not unlikely he learnt to fly a shuttle rather than drive a car. As a child he spent his time fantasising about flying space ships. Similarly, Travis would be unlikely to drive because he grew up on a freighter, not on Earth.

In a Mirror, Darkly (1) - S4-E18

Corrected entry: At the end of the opening credits for this episode and its sequel, Earth is shown rotating from west to east, the opposite direction as in real-life, likely to highlight the differences in the mirror universe.

Correction: Since they have never shown the sun rising in the mirror universe, the Earth just might rotate west to east. The phenomenom is called retrograde rotation. Venus spins west to east for example.

Zero Hour - S3-E24

Character mistake: Previous episodes have established this story arc to be occurring in the year 2154. Yet here, when T'Pol records her log, she cites the date as 2152. (00:32:00)

Answer: Warp factor has always been inconsistent and hard to pinpoint, or there's too many episodes that contradict the conversion rates. Changes were made in converting warp factor into actual speed between TOS and TNG. It seems ENT reverted back to using TOS method, which is "warp factor cubed" equals how many times the speed of light they traveled. So warp 4.5 means 91.125 times the speed of light (c). Although in "Broken Bow", with the travels from Earth to Neptune and back in about six minutes means warp 4.5 is about 86*c. However, in "The Expanse" episode, warp 5 was 200*c (instead of 125). 1 ly at 91.125*c is about 4 days, but 100 ly would be 400 days.
