This thread could go on for ever… LOL

The tone in which I made the first comment was similar to that of Phil Farrand who wrote several volumes of the Nitpicker’s Guide to the various incarnations of Star Trek. He was a devoted fan but realized that the writers & production people on Star Trek tended to slip up on continuity to an unusually high degree –thus, the Nitpicker’s Guides.

I’m a detail-oriented person in the first place, and I was obsessed with Trek enough during high school that I spotted many of the technical & continuity errors that are in the Nitpicker’s Guides (I think I even found one or two that weren’t in the books).

That’s why I thought it was funny when the Family Guy artists made their “mistake” in the picture above, and that I still cared enough to notice it and point it out. I’ll agree with The Dude that something that blatant was probably done on purpose to see if it would get a reaction out of someone. Mission accomplished. ;)

He will also comment on the seating, Shade of dress, goe=atee, wharfs inconsistant unibrow, and the fact that Laforge is on the bridge, Ass, lol!

I really think that if it was on purpose it was to get under the skin of trekkies that would react the way I mockingly did to your comment.

Exhale dude. No one is upset here.

No, it doesn’t matter that they got the seats wrong. I think it’s a little odd that the show would play homage to TNG by lampooning it in an episode but not get something so simple correct (unless they’re making the “mistake” on purpose to see if anyone notices).

*But*, no, it ultimately won’t matter if the bit is funny, and I was really just bringing it up because people like me who used to be huge fans of TNG are admittedly geeky enough to notice little things like that.

I kind of brought it up to be funny, but your skills at blowing a simple, half-joking comment way of proportion are pretty impressive. Good job.

Because clearly with them sitting in the wrong chair, they are totally unqualified for that station and the animator responsible for that image will be putting thousands of fictional lives in danger!!!

While we are at it, Riker shaved the goatee during the 7 and a half episodes that Deana wore that specific shade of purple in her non-regulation uniform, and Worf’s hair was much longer then.

God the incompetency!!

Oh, and the picture at the top of the post has Data and Wesley in the wrong seats.
