As long as we're talking about inconsistancies, let's mention the one that
crops up in almost *every* episode- how the Enterprise orbits a planet.

If you look at the viewscreen on the bridge, the planet is always turning
underneath the ship. The filler shots during the log entries, etc. show the
ship moving across the face of the planet with the saucer perpendicular to
the ground.

If the latter is the case, then the planet should show up on the left side
or even the top of the viewscreen. I have trouble believing that the screen
is "corrected" as this would be very disorienting to people on the bridge.

Does anyone care to even try to explain this one?
