M'Benga still wears blue. Chapel wears white, but she's also a civilian contractor in SNW and hasn't joined Starfleet yet, so how her uniform color interacts with everyone else is unclear.

TNG's and VOY's viewscreens are technically holographic, but the effect is applied inconsistently.

I think the truck nuts go below the rear shuttle bay. Mudflaps go on the nacelles.

That's clearly a yellow beam, making Worf a Jedi Sentinel.

But I like having a reason to pretend sexist Pike didn't happen.

Interestingly, this scene technically isn't part of continuity because "The Cage" as a whole technically isn't part of continuity, only the parts that made it into later episodes, like "The Menagerie," are. Remember, "The Cage" was a rejected pilot that only got released later on as a bonus, like a collection of deleted scenes. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the show's accepted pilot.

I want to know how many takes were used for the, "Yes, ma'am, his army of evil," bit. I always crack when he says it.

It doesn't come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can't do much without physical contact.

They floated it a little with Rutherford in the first episode or two with his Vulcan implant randomly making him act Vulcan, but it was dropped almost immediately.

That people have done that same thing IRL to prove that ancient peoples could have made certain voyages is also neat. Across oceans rather than space, but still.

You can also use the episodes they liked to recommend other Trek shows. Someone that likes the zany episodes would probably like TOS or VOY, for example.

The backlash is usually first for Trek, then when a new show comes out the last one is suddenly an underappreciated gem. Not sure what that means for SNW.
