There is said to be approximately 20 hours before the Archimedes crashes into the planet. Mariner and Captain Freeman have a 5 minute conversation and suddenly there are only 11 hours left. Unless it took Freeman 9 hours to travel from the bridge to the captain's yacht, the timeline doesn't make sense.

The Archimedes's navigator announces to Capt. Gomez that they're going to enter Lapeeria's atmosphere in five minutes. But then seven *seconds* later, the Archimedes begins to burn up from friction as they enter the atmosphere.

When the Cerritos is hit by debris, Mariner is thrown through the gap where the viewscreen used to be and tumbles away from the ship. The ship would still be moving very quickly through space. She would not float away from it like she did. Rather it would catch up to her and, presuming nothing affected her trajectory, she would be "scooped" back into the exposed bridge module very quickly.

Captain Freeman says that she will tell sickbay to "brace for hangovers." Starships in the late 24th century serve synthehol, which does not cause hangovers.

However, the celebrations mentioned would be planetside. The Laperians probably still ingest alcohol, which is what would cause real hangovers.

Captain Freeman says the crew of the Cerritos will have to remove the ship's hull plating "one at a time." There are actually numerous crews working simultaneously. But they are still removing the plates "one at a time" manually, instead of pressing a few buttons to do it automatically, which is the point Freeman was making.

When Mariner slides into the booth with Shaxs, Billups, and Ransom, Ransom tells her the booth's already full. The booths in the bar regularly accommodate four or more people. Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and Rutherford are almost always seen at a booth together. Furthermore, there is clearly ample space left on the side that Ransom and Mariner are on even once she sits down beside him. Clearly, Ransom is not being literal, but is telling Mariner that she's not welcome at their booth.

After Captain Freeman is arrested in the senior conference room, she is walked out past the crew. When the shot pulls out to the exterior of the ship, the crew is seen to have been assembled on the starboard side of the bridge on deck 1. The senior conference room is located on port side of deck one. The location where the crew was seen would put them in or near the captain's ready room, not the senior conference room.

The outer hull plating of the Cerritos must be stripped off one piece at a time, manually, yet some sections, such as the portion with (most of) the ship's registry on it, as seen floating away in large chunks, even though they're visibly comprised of many smaller panels.

Putting the release controls for the hull plating clamps in Cetacean Ops makes no sense. Designing them so that they cannot be operated by the officers serving in Cetacean Ops makes even less sense.

When Captain Freeman orders the senior staff to her ready room, Ensign Mariner goes with them. She is not a member of the senior staff and is the source of the current discord among the department heads, yet she is allowed to remain in the meeting.

The dolphins in Cetacean Ops are heard speaking in animal clicks and squeals. If they're speaking an intelligent language, as the subtitles indicate, their speech should be translated to Federation basic (aka English) for their human compatriots.

When expressing his excitement for Captain Freeman Day, Boimler is repeatedly told that it's for children (or, in one instance, calves). Unlike Galaxy-class ships, there are no children onboard the Cerritos, so a holiday meant exclusively for children celebrating its captain wouldn't make any sense.

Rutherford's vision is completely obscured when he starts getting error message pop-ups in his cortical implant. The implant only replaces his left eye. He still has his original right eye, and should at least be able to see out of that.

The dolphins serving in Cetacean Ops speak about Boimler's medical condition as though he were a dolphin. They clearly know enough about human physiology to know to bring him out of the water for medical treatment. Furthermore, as they are commissioned officers, they must have gone through Starfleet Academy, and have served aboard a starship with mostly air-breathing crewmen.

Once the Archimedes' descent towards the planet has been stopped, Commander Ransom confidently announces that there were no lives lost. The Cerritos' sensor were down and, even if they weren't, there hadn't been time to run a detailed scan of the Archimedes to determine the state of her crew.

When Mariner approaches Ransom, Shaxs, and Billups in the ship's bar, she asks if they're talking about "bridge crew stuff." Billups is not part of the bridge crew. Bridge crew refers specifically to people whose primary duties are on the bridge, and includes non-command level officers such as the helmsman. Mariner likely meant "command crew stuff," which refers to all department heads and senior staff, not just those who serve on the bridge.

T'Ana is shown tracking Tendi throughout the ship by scent. The computer could have easily located her via her combadge signal or even scanning for her life signs.

Kayshon suggests warping past the debris field, showing a staggering lack of understanding as to how starships work, especially for someone who went through Starfleet Academy and has moved up in the fleet to the position of a department head (a fact that everyone else immediately points out).
