Don't you love this stuff? Pointing out errors from the shows and movies? Some are blatantly obvious, some only the die-hard fan could catch.
Off the top of my head, you've got the Stardate fiasco in Season One, which had episodes with Tasha Yar still alive with a later stardate than "Skin of Evil" (where she got killed by the oil-slick).
Or, in Yesterday's Enterprise ... at the end of the episode, in "our" timeline, Geordi LaForge is still wearing the alternate uniform (full collar, black cuffs).
So, come on, contribute ... ?

I believe its Unification part 2, theres a scene where, while in Selas office the away team passes in front of a shiny metal lamp, and you can see the camera man in the reflection.

I recall a TNG episode where Geordi's pips are backwards: black, gold, gold instead of gold, gold, black.
And another TNG ep where they forgot to put in Data's gold contact lenses and Data had blue eyes.

That second one isn't a nit-pick. That episode was "Parallels". Who is to say that in that alternate universe Dr. Soong didn't give Data blue eyes, and not gold?

You know, there are books out there devoted to stuff just like this..."The Nitpicker's Guides?"

Kind of on topic and a possible Nit pick. Was there ever any explanation batted around as to why Worf was on the E-E during 'Dominion negotiations' but had not assumed his role as ambassador?

STV: Shatner's ego trip. When Spock, Kirk, and McCoy are rocketing up the turboshaft the flore numbers were going up rather than down. And by the time they got to the top of the turbo shaft they were on floor 78 or something like that.

You mean in Insurrection? Because Insurrection took place during the Dominion War. Worf didn't become Ambassador to the Klingon Empire until after the war had ended. Doesn't anybody pay attention to these things?

Augh! That one drives me crazy! And the fact that the turboshaft was for some unknown reason TRIANGULAR. (But I digress).

Coupled with the fact that A: it was one of those "look-I'm-using-a-gadget-we-saw-earlier" things (like Dirty Harry and the harpoon in "Dead Pool"), and the fact that it didn't do them any damn good!!! They still got caught.
They could've joined Sybok from the start, with the agreement that Kirk kept his own "pain"... (But since the other guys didn't suffer from it, it probably would've done him a lot of good)
Btw, love Kirk's bitchslapping of rebel in village riot!
Like, how did Roga Danar escape the transporter in The Hunted?
Or, did you notice that the chocolate stain on Picard's uniform in Q-Who is small at first (near his waist), then when the camera cuts back to him, it's spread all across his chest?

Didn't someone write a book�a "guide" of sorts�about nitpicking? A "nitpicker's giude", if you will?

Phil Farrand did: two for TNG, one for TOS, and one for the first half of DS9. Then his publishers got cold feet and pulled off in fear of Paramount retaliation, so we never got the latter half of DS9, or Voyager.
I think Farrand is still maintaining a website where he collects nits submitted by the audience... I don't know where this site is, though. I do hope he gets a new publisher someday.
