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.From the Trade Paperback edition.

A follow-up to the first, best-selling Nitpicker''s guide ferrets out the plot inconsistencies, scientific inaccuracies, and other foul-ups in the seventh, final season of the TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Every episode of the first four seasons of equipment oddities, weird science, strange but true observations, and nutty technical difficulties for discriminating fans of Deep Space Nine.Commanders 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?  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 ultimate 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.

The truth is, the nits are out there....What''s weird about Samantha T. Mulder''s birthday? (She has two of them: January 22 and November 21.)What''s amazing about Mulder''s cell phone?(It operates inside a metal boxcar, buried in a canyon, out in the deserts of New Mexico: anywhere!)Scully and Mulder, you have reason to be paranoid. Armed with keen detective sense, attention to detail, and a VCR, author Phil Farrand has done some forensic work of his own and dissected every technical foul-up, plot oversight, and alien intrusion on the X-Files(r). Paranormal he''s not, but he''d like to know why T.A. Berube has a six-digit zip code or how the VCRs at the 2400 Court motel in Braddock Heights, Maryland, can play a tape after it''s been ejected. Nitpicking? You bet. So join his conspiracy to have hours of mental stimulation and fun with:Equipment flubsChanged premises Plot oversights Fun factsTrivia questions Reviews of every show for all four seasonsAnd more
