I am stun by your answer. Red shirts Unite .

A long time ago in a universe far far away I worked as a technician for a large TV broadcaster and content producer. One of my jobs was to check shows for these sorts of issue, and then decide whether or not it needed to be "fixed". The trouble is, once one has been trained to spot this sort of stuff it becomes quite difficult to learn to un-see things, which can make watching TV very frustrating. Undoubtedly the most common problems are a sound boom in shot, and a shot which over-spills the edge of the set. Using a modern LCD TV both effects can frequently be found in TOS and TNG. However what most people don't realise is that most of these things would never have been seen, because back in the days CRT displays, the picture tube was overscanned by up to 6%. This means that a significant area of the image on the film or tape would never be seen by the audience because their TV sets were deliberately set-up to display a cropped picture. Only technical anoraks like me, would have had the knowledge and/or technical skill to adjust the scan yoke to display edge to edge, and the penalty for doing so was that one then saw the messy instability and disturbances to the picture edge, which came from the primitive early TV sync pulses. That's why the overscan was chosen - so the average viewer wouldn't have to see any of the technical flaws. This also included an allowance for framing imperfections of the sort to which you allude. TV production manuals from the area refer to a SAFE AREA - which is the area of frame which is guaranteed to be viewable. This is a 16:9 chart www.hdhead.com/illustrations/1080_safe_chart.jpg and here is a 4:3 upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Pal_safe_area.svg/320px-Pal_safe_area.svg.png Only the GREEN area would be considered "safe" and by extension important to the shot. So for example the newspaper, and many of the carpet tears - and indeed most of my sound booms would not have been considered important enough to fix, because the vast majority of viewers would simply never see them, as their sets would crop the picture so that the fault or object in shot was outside the safe area frame. These days changing the picture is as easy as going into the display menu and changing the display from TV-overscanned to edge-to-edge mode, which anyone using the screen as a PC monitor will have had to do so as not to lose things like the start menu button into the over-scan area. So these intrusions into the picture, which were previously considered as invisible are now viewable. Sadly this does destroy the "magic" - as did the move HD which, alongside showing things like your black squares on the bridge display, rendered the older styles of TV makeup instantly unconvincing - leading in turn to a lot of work being quietly done in the early 2000's to improve the quality of makeup and prosthetics. This is why sometimes advances in technology like HD are best not applied retrospectively to old shows. Sometimes I think it is better to view the show, with all its fuzzy charm, in the original format, thus more easily maintaining the illusion.

Also home video did not exist when the original series was first aired therefore errors were harder to spot.

I worked in TV for over 25 years as a Post Production Manager. Basically I do special effects and clean up mistakes AKA "Fix it in Post". I think it' important to note how TV production is quite different today versus the 70's to the 2010's. Today, seasons of a show are produced all at once (think Netflix style). In the past, it was quite different. Episodes were created in a monthly production cycle. You would start a show with a pilot and like 4 episodes to get the ball rolling (AKA a 4 month head start). Each month you were tasked to write, shoot, edit, post produce and add sound for an entire episode. Back in the day , some shows too no breaks and kept producing year round with different teams. When you are producing shows like that, it's easy to make mistakes and get too comfortable. You are basically living on set and see your families very rarely. The set starts feeling like home and you start treating it as such, and that's where problems occur. Most people are very professional, but when you are on set from sun up to sundown, and sometimes over night day after day to meet crazy deadlines, the lines between home and work blur.

You can forgive a lot of these. Fun fact: TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager where all shot on film. TOS was also edited 'traditionally' (physically cutting film), while the other three series were transferred to videotape for editing. But when shooting on film and using analog editing, it would be massively expensive to do a re-shoot for a minor background problem, and the technology didn't really exist to just 'paint out' a problem (or was too expensive). It's actually pretty funny that I could fix those panel reflections, just crop out the carpet tear or clone out those blocking markers in a few minutes on my laptop today, when back then fixing those shots either wasn't possible, or would take too long or cost tens of thousands of dollars.

HD has really changed a lot of stuff in television. My uncle used to be a reporter and later an anchor for the local news. When the station started using HD cameras they had to replace the news desk because it was covered in graffiti that could not be seen in the SD camerals, but was clearly visible in HD.

Good thing the writing for TNG, DS9 and Voyager was so good that we were too into the plot to notice little things like these 😊

That warm and fuzzy feeling you get when watching Star Trek clips is replaced by revulsion when a Discovery scene appears. The sooner Discovery fades into oblivion, the better.

with all of the carpet gaffs in TNG, it re-frames the cheeky in-joke on Picard S3, "Being here, with all of us back together, it reminds me of the one thing I missed... The carpet"

It's almost like these were filmed decades ago and it never occurred to anyone that someday people would go through every single scene, frame by frame to find minor things that absolutely do not matter.

You missed a big one. "Angel One" from TNG, Season 1, Episode 13, at about 21 minutes. In the original (not the remaster), Riker is having an intimate moment alone with Beata. However, you can very clearly see a hand reach in and take the champagne glasses from Beata, a much bigger mistake than carpet scuffs.

The equipment in the corner of the shot in your second example wouldn't have been seen on TVs in 1966 since they had rounded screens and overscan. We can see much more of the frame than viewers did back then, and all the corners are clearly visible. The production crew may have noticed it, but left it in knowing that it wouldn't be seen at the time. The tear in the carpet in TNG is a similar issue that wouldn't have been seen by viewers at home due to overscan.

I remember the closing scene of Star Trek Nemesis. Captain Picard was sitting at his desk either in his quarters or in his ready room. You could clearly see a power cord coming from his monitor. Later in the same scene it showed his desk again and the power cord had disappeared. In the 24th century the monitors didn't have power cords because they used self contained power cells.

It is clearly outside the title safe line, and likely didn't show on the editing screens either.

What about the fact that Spot, data's cat, is constantly referred to as male, bit has kittens in the episode "Genesis," where it becomes a critical plot point. The worst one was in the last episode of season 4 of DS9 ("Broken Link") where the crew takes Odo back to the founder's homework, and Garak, who wants revenge, tries to manually fire torpedoes, but fights with worf in the crawl spaces. During their scuffle, they bump a wall and the door falls off, revealing the set behind it.

Yeah that's what it looks like, it's called a "Spike". It marks where a actor or something's goes on the stage. Riker stands on that spot many times.

In "Amok Time", in at least one shot, Spock, who is supposedly deep in preparation and mental anguish, can be seen in the background standing casually with his hands behind his back. And in, I believe, "Charlie X", the crew members are feeding a pipe into a square opening in the floor. The "walls" of the opening are painted black, but the lighting clearly reveals the plywood grain of the wall of the opening.

I remember first seeing the black cardboard in Peak Performance.. maybe it was used to keep tactical information secure while using the view screen ?

You missed the bit later in the Discovery scene, when Burham trains her phaser at Lorca, she's clearly holding it backwards.

Fun compilation. The only thing I ever recall noticing from Star Trek was in, I believe, TNG's The Best of Both Worlds where the Borg cube is going through the Terran System and shoots three patrol ships at Jupiter(?); one of the ships disappears from the screen before it's actually hit.

Whats impressive in the last one is that in the same Fight Burnham ends up threatening a Character with a Phaser, that shes effectivley pointing at herself.

Pretty sure the newspaper was thought to be far enough around the corner not to be in the shot, but when they changed camera angles, it was just not spotted due to aspect ratio or whatever. I would bet that it was there because just around that corner was a freshly-painted set, or possibly a floor in progress, and there was newspaper down to keep crew from walking over it.

That was likely a bad transfer. There is a border around films that doesn't get projected, so filmmakers ignore anything in that area since it won't be seen. When you transfer a film to video, you have to box off the borders. A lot of movie equipment and crew "bloopers" are really just bad videos and were never seen in the theater.

I remember someone published whole books full of these things that people spotted. “Nitpickers guides” each page detailing show/season/episode/act/minute and what was out of place. Anything from production crew in the background to someone missing a rank pip on their collar. Reading those books trained me how to be more observant for those things.

Video engineer here ... the items on this list that hug the edge of the frame, like the camera equipment in TOS and the blocking tape in DS9, were very likely intentionally ignored. The old tube TVs of the day distorted the edges of the picture so much that the edges of the tubes were painted black to cover them up. So these artifacts never would have been seen ... until plasma & LCD/LED screens made it possible to see the whole picture.
