Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Moriarty tells Picard that Sherlock Holmes was written by an Englishman. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the creator of Holmes) was Scottish, not English. moreQuotes:
Capt. Picard: But... who knows - our reality may be very much like theirs. And all this... might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device... sitting on someone's table. moreFAQ

I just watched this episode for the umpteenth time and can't believe I missed this important goof. At the very end, Picard says "But, who knows - our reality may be very much like theirs. And all this might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device, sitting on someone's table." Then everyone leaves the room except Barkley. Then Barkley says "Computer, end program"...and there's NO RESPONSE from the computer. Any time the computer is addressed it should respond... In other episodes, the computer responds to rhetorical questions even if just to say "There are currently no programs running, please restate question." As an example, the episode where Beverly Crusher was trapped in the warp bubble and kept talking to herself out loud which always got a response from the computer.
