Star Trek Inconsistencies?

[Rigu Ryu]

In the two-parter "Descent", Data's emotion chip is round.
In the movie "Generations", however, the chip is square. It looks like a piece of Golden Grahams cereal. (My mind is strange like that...)

Also, if Picard is French, why does he have a British accent? Even his nephew has one!

The British accent is considered a continental one. It's supposed to reflect cultured, intelligent, worldly. A french accent doesn't do that. Plus, Patrick Stewart is a British Actor.

My only answer to the emotion chip's continued morphing
(it had THREE different shapes total, if the Nitpicker's Guides and my
memory were correct) was that Data decided to rework the outer
casing and housing for the circuitry, possibly using some android
design of his own, to make it more efficient or better protected or
something.

Picard's accent has always baffled me.
Then again, when we first met him, I was one of the guys giggling over
the incongruity.

"You have cancer? Hang on.
*waves humming salt-shaker at patient*
Ok, get some sleep, you'll be fine in the morning.

What's you're problem? Bald?
*Sorry-we can't help you."

I know-our answer is that he preferred the baldness to other options,
and may not have been so vain.
I still think that's worth a chuckle, though.

stare You take all the fun out of everything...

You know, it's funny, I always either miss completely or am able to ignore every single freaking inconsistancy. Everyone talks about how they're bothered so much by them, and I'm like, "Just ignore them, you weirdo."

But you see him feel his head woefully in a couple episodes cuz he doesn't have hair. He certainly doesn't seem to prefer baldness.

What I find amusing is that they don't have the Hair Club for Men in the 24th century. xd

That's always a good way of thinking... 3nodding I agree

I think many problems arise in making the holodecks. When a character commands "Freeze program" all too often the holograms will move (however small). If there's a fire in the program (take the TNG episode "The Defector") it will continue to burn and crackle even though the program is supposedly set in freeze.

You know, there are lots of video games that do stuff like that... wink When you pause The Lion King for SNES, and there's fire in the background, it keeps burning. wink

Weird example, I know. But maybe it's the same thing! sweatdrop

In "Generations"- The uniforms of the crew members are different. Some have the colored bar at the top, some have a black bar.

It bothers me. sweatdrop

OMG, I noticed that at the very end when Picard and Riker find the photo album in the wreakage that is his ready room.

I was like, "...wait a minute. What?"

Considering "Generations" is filled with time travel and such, the producers probably figured it wasn't such a big deal and they could get away with using time paradoxes to explain it...who knows, I've never noticed...
