Not a plot hole, but something that always jumps out at me - In Star Trek Generations, when the bad guys fires a rocket at the sun, everyone stands there and watches it hit the star as if its hanging a couple hundred feet off the ground.

There is the plot hole on why does Picard not just go back and have Soren (the bad guy) arrested when they first rescued the ship he was on.

As an aside, not a plot hole, but they did bury arguably the Federation's most famous captain under a pile of rocks on a remote planet instead of giving him a proper officer's funeral.

Might have been addressed in the thread already but this is a plot hole. The whole reason Picard beams down is bc Worf says they cant guarantee to get a lock on & to shoot down the rocket before it hits the sun.

Since the planet is roughly earth like let's assume its roughly the same distance as our planet to its sun. It takes light 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun. Worf can't get a phaser lock on a rocket going sub light speed in that time?

/nerd rant over.
