** The idea that an uncloaked ''Galaxy''-class starship (let alone ''two'' of them) could hope to sneak into a demilitarised zone monitored and partially controlled by an interstellar empire without being detected is pretty outdated, since even today's Sol and Earth-based satellites and radar systems would likely have picked either of them up. Both the ''Yamato'' and the ''Enterprise'' should have been detected before they even crossed the border if the Romulans are using detection systems centuries ahead of our own, and the notion that they could get to the Romulan side of the zone while only being stalked by a single Romulan ship, rather than a thousand of them, should have never entered either Captain's head.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This episode was definitely written in a time when computers and software were not ubiquitous. The very idea that they downloaded the files of the ''Yamato'' to the ''Enterprise'' when the former was experiencing widespread system malfunction sounds crazy to anyone even mildly tech-savvy in the 21st century, who would immediately suspect a computer virus of some kind might be the culprit, especially if the issues started shortly after encountering a mysterious alien civilisation. Most modern viewers will understand the problem and the plot within seconds of Picard explaining the situation even though it takes the crew several hours and violating the Neutral Zone to even begin to comprehend what is happening to them.

** Geordi specifically mentions restoring from the "protected" archive, seeming to mean something the virus couldn't rewrite, like an optical disk or whatever. But that raises the question of why nobody on the Yamato or Enterprise (at first) thought of reinstalling Windows from the CD sooner.

* NeverLiveItDown: The ''Yamato'' engineering crew are often ridiculed for getting their ship destroyed by not thinking to use the 24th century equivalent to System Restore to eliminate the Iconian virus. However, Geordi's solution works for the ''Enterprise'' because the virus hasn't yet spread to the backups of the critical files in the computer core, whereas it's indicated that the similar backups on the ''Yamato'' would have been corrupted at the same time that the Iconian probe screwed up everything else on the ship, meaning that the same solution would at best have achieved nothing, and at worst sped up the ship's deterioration.
