Ensign Graham informs Captain Picard that the shuttlecraft (flying between the Enterprise and the planet) is out of transporter range. Yet later, the away team beams to the planet without problems. It is conceivable that at the time the Enterprise was trying to intercept the shuttle, she was still a long way away from it and again much further from the planet, even if the visual of the shuttle on screen suggested otherwise; it probably showed a close-up of the shuttle rather than its true distance. Ensign Graham's statement was therefore correct.
Down on the planet, Worf deviates from the show's usual pronunciation of 'kilometer' (with the stress on the 'lo'; kil-AW-mitr), giving instead a rare example of the systematic 'KIL-o-meetr', with the stress on the first syllable.
The pronunciation that Worf uses was the common British pronunciation (as recommended by the BBC Pronunciation Guide, amongst others), consistent with other units (kilogram, kilojoule, centimetre, millimetre, etc). However, it is much less common now. The common American pronunciation makes it sound like a device (like spectro'meter or tacho'meter). It's quite possible that Michael Dorn picked this up from Marina Sirtis, or more likely Patrick Stewart, and simply repeated it.
When La Forge is in the holodeck, one of the paused holograms blinks several times.
When LaForge goes to the holodeck to review the footage he raises his hand to touch the panel on the wall but he never does, its just a reason for the viewer to see his hand shaking.
When Riker, Worf, and Worf's security team enter the holodeck to look for Geordi, Worf orders his people to search the structure while he searches the perimeter. There is a much easier way to find someone missing inside a holodeck. Telling the computer to "end program" will cause everything NOT created by the holodeck to vanish, leaving the room empty, except for the person you are looking for.
The creatures that the away team transform into aren't visible to the naked eye, due to their light-distorting abilities. However, Geordi has cybernetic implants that he uses to connect his VISOR, which wouldn't disappear and would still be visible, especially since they blink and glow. Yet, he can't be seen by anyone without the UV lights once he begins to transform.
When entering the holodeck to look for Geordi, they had to spread around to find him.
It would have been much simpler to simply end the holoprogram.
The USS Victory's away team to Tarchannen III was the only away team seen in all of "Star Trek" to have a cameraman. (Of course, this is so Geordi can later find the shadow.)
Also, the cameraman in the away team just stands in place the whole time. His function in the away team could've easily been done by a tripod.

Picard, at La Forge's suggestion, would have had the computer monitor La Forge's movements. Either this idea is never carried out or cancelled, but LaForge is able to 'disappear' and leave the ship. The computer should have alerted Picard.
Data informs Riker that his modifications on the emergency beacon will take approximately another two minutes. Yet he completes them after only 40 seconds - for Data a rather huge miscalculation.
