* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Several fans and critics lambasted the hotel actors' acting as poor and shallow, seemingly missing the point that it was ''supposed'' to be; the entire hotel cast/situation Riker and company find themselves in was badly-written InUniverse.

** Picard refers to Fermat's Last Theorem as having been unsolved for over 800 years. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wiles Whoops.]]
** Debris from a NASA spacecraft, which according to this episode took part in a mission in the mid 21st century, are beamed aboard the Enterprise. However, the NASA [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/NASA_Worm_logo.svg/256px-NASA_Worm_logo.svg.png "Worm logo"]] seen on the debris was actually reverted to the previous [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/NASA_logo.svg "Meatball logo"]] in 1992. This now falls into a weird subversion now, as NASA has re-instated the "Worm" for manned missions beginning in 2020.
** The Royale sets, costumes, and hairstyles -- probably intended to create a slightly retro ambience for the audience in 1989 -- will strike 21st-century viewers as palpably, undeniably, almost overwhelmingly the look of the 1980s.

A simple split screen would have achieved the intended effect (we see them all exit at once through one side of the revolving door, then see them all come back in at once on the same side), but apparently even that was too much to ask.
