When Q plays the trumpet on the final note, he brings his left hand up to hold it. In the next shot, his left hand is down.
When Worf tells Q to prove his mortality by dying, Worf's arms are crossed. In the very next shot, his arms are at his sides.
The crew attempt to adjust the moon's orbit at perigee (closest approach). If you are attempting to adjust the altitude of a body's perigee (in this case to avoid a collision with the planet), the best time to do it is to wait until it reaches apogee. This will change the elevation of perigee the most with the least amount of energy. Changing a body's velocity at perigee only changes the elevation of apogee and does nothing to change its perigee. If they were trying to avoid a collision, the crew chose the worst time to do it.
Reference is made to the perigee of Bre'el IV's moon. A perigee is a periapsis specific to the orbit of a satellite of Earth. Since the moon is not orbiting Earth, the generic term periapsis is appropriate in this case.
The computer mispronounces the word "reference" as re-FER-ence (the sending of a matter for decision or consideration to some authority) instead of REF-er-ence (use of a source of information in order to ascertain something). A machine would get this right.
Any body in space large enough to become a spheroid that collided with a an earth-sized (or even "super-earth sized" planet) would not cause tsunamis and damage half a continent. It would obliterate all life on said planet and change the entire surface into boiling lava which would take hundreds or thousands of millennia to cool.
After Q moved the moon back into a stable orbit, Data states that it is in a circular orbit.
However, orbiting bodies always travel in elliptical orbits, where two bodies actually orbit each other in ellipses, with one of the foci being a center of their orbits.

Data tells Q that he ingests a semi-organic nutrient suspension in a silicon-based liquid medium to lubricate his bio functions. Data is an android and would therefore have no bio functions.
However, he has exhibited several simulations of biological processes, including facial expression and speech. Moreover, it was made clear in S1:Ep2 ('The Naked Now') that he was fully programmed for sexual activity, which presumably required some fluid secretions, for lubrication.
The Enterprise was hovering about the moon, trying to keep it from drifting into Bre'el IV. Yet, in scenes when Q was talking with Picard, you could see stars going past as if their vessel were moving.
When Worf shows the moon's projected orbit on the viewscreen, the readout shows an orbital distance varying from 50,032 to 50,059 kilometers. However, a moment later, Data states, "The moon's altitude is 55,000 kilometers."
At 11:29, time a small piece of rubber or plastic falls off the door as Picard walks into the brig, it even bounces off his left leg before falling to the floor, it remains to be seen under the bottom of the door even after the doors are closed.
When Riker orders Worf to call any other Federation ships for assistance, Worf mouth moves as if he says, "Aye, sir," but no sound is heard.
Guinan stabs Q quite forcibly in the hand with a fork-like object. He receives no medical attention and seems to be perfectly fine and without stab wounds soon after.
After Data is incapacitated, Q is allowed to walk around without a security escort. This seem highly unlikely as Q is presumed never to be trusted.
How do the Calimarane become aware of Q's loss of his powers. Did the continum send out a memo.
Q lists a number of human things that he is not looking forward to, including detailed physical experiences such as having a pimple. However later, it seems that he is unaware of what sleep, or hunger are.
