    I was rewatching Star Trek: TNG high def version, and i thought “you know, if there’s a drinking game where you drink when you spot a mistake, the Blu-ray would be a death sentence”.

    Personal challenge: Next time you watch TNG, focus on a background actor during the expository parts. Michael Dorns background acting always slaps.

      What mistakes do you spot?

        Lots of screws in the plexiglass consoles, they blur out on standard definition

        black cardboard rectangles taped to the back display. A ton of cameras and crew members came over from TOS. Hard, shotgun lights, directly in the actors face, and directly at the huge plexiglass, curved back display.

        Carpet chunks tucked under chairs to stop a wobble.

        Whenever Data handles something, some of the Android makeup comes off onto the prop.

        In one scene, Captain Picard straight up nods off while talking to Romulans. Can’t really tell in SD, painfully apparent in HD.

        There’s many more, but they all add to the charm.

        Ps: You can sometimes see the fishing line used to keep Geordies visor on the actors face.
