MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: When Picard fires the starboard thruster, the next shot shows an exhaust stream on the yoke of the star drive section. However when Picard uses the port thruster, no exhaust shows. Then later the port thruster gets turn one twice but never turned off.
CONT: La Forge's holodeck lady her arm in her lap at the beginning of the show, but in the next shot the arm is back behind her.
CHAR: La Forge says that he is going to shut everything off and use only two thrusters. Picard actually uses three: starboard, port, and starboard aft.
PLOT: The Promellian captain speaks in modern English.

TRIVIA

SPOILER: Dr. Brahms (Susan Gibney) was originally to be African-American and kin to Dr. Daystrom (William Marshall (I)), of the original series "The Ultimate Computer"). Two other reasons why LaForge was so affectionate for her.
