Bloody
unlikely
For the whole duration of First Contact, Captain Picard doesn't *once* speak to Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive, the man who made it possible for Picard to live his dream and be captain of the Enterprise; even when he's standing roughly three meters away from him (at the end of the movie just before the Vulcan scout ship lands), he doesn't go over and say hi, pleased to meet you, thanks for the starship, by the way... He doesn't even look at the man!?
*groan* Only explanation I can imagine is that the writers couldn't come up with a way *not* to botch such a historical confrontation, so they dropped it and hoped no one would notice... Well guys, no such luck!
All
keyed up
First Contact, again; when the Borg arrive outside sickbay without warning, they find the doors locked... One Jason Gaston* rewrote his version of the scene:
[Something starts banging on the
door]
Crusher: I hear you knocking but you can't
come in!
Ogawa: Good thing we always keep the sickbay doors
locked.
Crusher: Yes... a conveniently good thing.

The
power of vulcan ears
In ST VI: The Undiscovered Country, when the vulcan Lt. Veloris tries to justify her association with the conspiracy, she reminds Kirk of what he said to Spock about the Klingons, five minutes into the movie: "Let them die!". But that was at the end of a highly classified meeting at Starfleet Headquarters, when everyone else had left!
I doubt even the famed sensibility of vulcan ears can account for that...
