With all the movies and TV series out there, it’s no surprise that over the years, there have been plenty of mistakes in Star Trek productions. But the mistakes in this list are so big that they’re difficult — nay, impossible! — to ignore.

TV shows introduce minor characters without clear backstories all the time, and sometimes those characters prove too popular or useful to just discard. That means the character needs more detail, and sometimes it arrives too fast. Such is the story of Miles O'Brien, who appeared in the first episode of The Next Generation as a nameless crew member working the transporters. According to the collaborative fan site Memory Alpha, O'Brien's rank has at different times been "crewman," "lieutenant," "warrant officer," and "ensign junior grade." Eventually his rank was stabilized as "chief petty officer," but even that was never actually mentioned onscreen and is just sort of accepted by everyone as canon.

O'Brien wasn't initially intended to be a major character. He didn't even get a last name until the second season, and no serious effort was put into his backstory until season four. He was just a background character, and the writers never had any designs on making him a bigger deal, so they had to make up for it later. While this makes perfect sense in terms of the logistics of producing a television series, sci-fi needs a certain level of authenticity to work — and having a military organization treat a crew member's rank like a random afterthought is almost unforgivable.
