Back to the Star Trek thing...

I like watching for flubs. Not very many, so it makes the watching all the more fun.

One of the most evident flubs was the episode where Geordi and Ensign Roe are cloaked and everyone thinks they're dead. They can run all over the ship, but they pass right through the walls. Wouldn't they pass through the floor too?

The other one I remember right now (without too much effort) is the episode where Data thinks he has found his mother, but it turns out to be a more sophisticated Android. Data finds a holo- program of Nunian that explains how, when his wife died, he created this android to replace her and infused his real wife's memories and emotions into the android, but he made her too real and she left him when a lot of events (don't remember the reasons) made her feel leaving was necessary. Now this is all fine and all, but how did he know she was going to leave, and why, when he implanted the program into her. This would have been done at her creation, or sometime before she left him. He would have had no way to know.
