When Worf and Riker are on the bridge of the Yamato, the dedication plaque is still that of the Enterprise. In the remastered HD version, the name on the plaque has been digitally removed.
Chief Miles O'Brien is referred to as, and wears the collar pips of, a lieutenant. In later episodes, it is established that he is a non-commissioned officer, not a lieutenant.
When Data first tries to hail the Yamato, Riker is standing close to the screen while Picard is further back. When the camera shows their faces Picard and Riker are side by side. When the shot reverts they are once again standing apart.
When Deanna and Data enter Picard's quarters toward the end of the episode, the chairs at the table behind them change position between shots.
Data notes that there is no record of any Federation vessel encountering anything remotely like the hole in space. This is not necessarily true. In The Immunity Syndrome (1968), Kirk's crew encountered a similar void while investigating a dead star system. Their properties were different, but were very similar in appearance.
When Picard looks out the window at one point the stars can be seen to twinkle. The twinkle of stars seen from Earth is an effect of the atmosphere and would not be seen out the window of a space craft, unless the window material is imperfectly flat, and it isn't likely that a star ship would be made so shoddily.
If there was "nothing", "no energy" in the hole, it would be impossible to see anything on the main viewer, such as the blue formations constantly shown. Seeing is the perception of light by the human eye.
However, since Nagilum has demonstrated throughout the episode that he can make ship sensors and the eyes and ears of the crew itself to detect things that are not there, the entire phenomenon could have been an illusion. Wesley even lampshades this when he asks "If that's a hole, then shouldn't we be able to see what's behind it?"

When Picard and Riker set the auto-destruct, the computer asks for a time interval, and after a spirited discussion, they set the time for 20 minutes. In 11001001 (1988), the time interval was set by the computer at five minutes, which suggests that this was the standard interval, and, at the time, their only option, given their situation. It does not suggest, however, that the interval cannot be altered as desired under any circumstances.
When Riker calls the name of the Yamato, he pronounces it Yah-MAH-toh. It should be pronounced Yah-mah-toh. Japanese sentences do not use stress on any particular syllable.
Riker is never shown to have any specific knowledge of the Japanese language, so it isn't an error that he doesn't know how to pronounce Japanese words correctly. In fact, he is from Alaska, and most Americans pronounce Yamato the way he does.

When Worf is fighting to keep the doors open on the Yamato you can see he's wearing his Klingon top teeth, but there's nothing on his bottom teeth.
