Is there a control panel inside the turbo lift? (No . . . except in the episode “Brothers”)
Do or don’t personnel have to tap their badge to access their communicator? (Only when the writers feel like it)
Yes, we’re fans. But we’re not unobservant. Some of us even have Vulcanlike logic. Author Phil Farrand figures that even if you love somebody, you can tell them about that dab of mustard on their upper lip. So here’s a compendium for Trekkers who are unafraid of pointing the finger at oversights, and who know it’s great fun to find the sloppy mistakes (or cost-cutting cheating) in a show that takes itself very seriously. So get your VCR ready and your mind set for hours of enjoyment and mental stimulation with:
• Plot oversights
• Production problems
• Changed premises
• Equipment oddities
• Trivia questions
• Fun facts
• Covers every show for the first six seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation
• And more!

The Nitpicker's Guide for Classic Trekkers
ISBN-10 : 0440506832
ISBN-13 : 978-0440506836
Publisher : Dell (Oct. 1 1994)
Late twenty-third century. Starship Enterprise. Space - the final frontier - is fertile territory for nitpickers! Which is the communications button on captain Kirk's chair? (The lowest, but sometimes he hits the yellow alert button...oops!) When they're not talking light-years, does the crew use meters or miles? (Both - evidently the metric system never did catch on)
Six feature films, the wildly successful television spin-off Star Trek: The Next Generation, endless reruns, videotapes, conventions, a line of best-selling novels, and William Shatner's New York Times best-seller Star Trek Memories have kept the Star Trek spirit alive and well, even 25 years after its cancellation. Now this must-have book for all Trekkers -- which covers every episode of the original series, the pilot, and all six movies -- reveals all the bloopers, continuity errors, plot oversights, equipment malfunctions, and goof-ups that discerning, die-hard fans love to spot, but may have missed. Written especially for all those who find themselves thinking, "Hey, if the transporter is broken, why don't they just use a shuttlecraft?", this nitpicky volume includes Kirk's toupee watch; an examination of the logic of the miniskirted female crew members; number of times Kirk violated the Prime Detective and lots of trivia questions, fun facts, quizzes, and more. Live long and nitpick.

The Nitpicker's Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers
ISBN-10 : 0440507626
ISBN-13 : 978-0440507628
Publisher : Titan Books Ltd (Jan. 1 1996)
Commander's Log, DS9: Star Date 46379.1 Bajor below. The cosmos above. Bloopers everywhere. How long is the wormhole? (In "Emissary,", it is 70,000 light years. Four episodes later Sisko says it is 90,000. Better check the odometer, Sisko!) Does the space station rotate? (Good question! Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't - look at the stars in the windows.)
Now that NextGen is history, the time has come to take a leap through hyperspace and land on Deep Space Nine. It's unexplored territory for nitpicking, the ulitmate challenge for discriminating fans. This guide brings you the scoop on Deep Space Nine - the good, the bad, and the Ferengi. Author Phil Farrand (with a little help from his Trekker friends) has had his VCR in warp drive and surveyed every DS9 episode of the first four seasons for the glitches, gaffs, and goofs that neither the station's engineers, nor the show's writers have solved. Sit yourself down with this guide in one hand, your remote control in the other, and see for yourself what the wormhole has wrought.
