Trivia

"Shore Leave" was the first of many Star Trek episodes (and movies) partially shot at Vasquez Rocks, a distinctive California desert rock formation named for a 19th Century bandit who once had a hideout there. Kirk and Finnegan's fistfight and Kirk's encounter with Ruth were both shot at Vasquez. The formation is most prominently featured in "Arena," when Kirk pushes the boulder off its peak onto the Gorn.

Season: Whole show  1  2  3  All

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (season 3, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Because stock special effects footage was used, the shuttle supposedly "stolen from Starbase 4 two weeks ago" is plainly marked "Galileo, NCC 1701/7, USS Enterprise."

The Mark of Gideon (season 3, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: How the heck did the Gideons (who are not members of the Federation) get such exact specifications to make what Spock describes as "an exact duplicate of the Enterprise"? Does Starfleet just hand the plans out to anyone?

Edit

The Lights of Zetar (season 3, episode 18)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Scotty had a science patch on instead of the engineering patch in the episode.

Edit

The Apple (season 2, episode 5)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Kirk orders Marple to cut around a rock to the right and make a noise to distract their observer. But the actor appears to slightly screw up his cue: Marple promptly traverses the rock to the left instead of the right.

The City on the Edge of Forever (season 1, episode 28)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: After Edith stumbles and nearly falls down the stairs, she still has both her shoes on. But after the kiss, she proceeds up the stairs and is now carrying one shoe. She had no time to take it off, as she was, er, busy with Kirk the whole time.

The Squire of Gothos (season 1, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Trelane says he studied Earth images that travelled to him at light speed, and earlier they establish Gothos is 900 years from Earth. But Trelane references Napoleon and Hamilton, who weren't around until 1800 or so. That would put this episode in 2700, but the original Trek episodes are set in the 2200's.

Edit

The Naked Time (season 1, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: As the bridge crew monitors Psi 2000 on the view screen, a glitch in the special effects matte makes the planet vanish briefly and then reappear - twice.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Initially, the Enterprise orbits Psi 2000 as the planet turns westward. But in later shots, on the bridge view screen, the planet has reversed directions and now turns eastward.

The Way to Eden (season 3, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: A re-used sickbay scene taken from an earlier episode causes Nurse Chapel to instantly revert to her old hairdo as the sound waves make her fall unconscious.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

Whom Gods Destroy (season 3, episode 14)

⇑
⇓

Audio problem: Just as Garth brings Spock back and releases Kirk from the cell, "inviting" them to dinner, there's an odd buzzing/rattling noise in the audio that shouldn't be there.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

Is There in Truth No Beauty? (season 3, episode 5)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: The colorful nebulae of the energy barrier are showing through the hull of the suddenly-transparent Enterprise as it heads back into the galaxy.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

A Piece of the Action (season 2, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Not only do the billiard balls on the pool table keep changing positions between shots, but Bela seems to forget what the cue ball is for, and starts hitting the colored balls directly into the pockets instead.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

Shore Leave (season 1, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: When Spock beams down after calculating there was just enough energy left for him to do so, Sulu and Kirk watch him materialize, and Sulu says, "Someone beaming down from the bridge." From the bridge? Shouldn't he have said "from the ship"? No one ever beamed down directly from the bridge, but even if they could, how would Sulu know that's where they'd come from?

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

Court Martial (season 1, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: When they are searching for Finney hidden somewhere in the ship, all ship noises are deadened, and the heartbeats of those on the bridge are muffled by McCoy. In order to locate Finney's heartbeat the ship's auditory sensors are magnified by "one to the fourth power". That's 1x1x1x1 = 1, ie no magnification.

Edit

What Are Little Girls Made Of? (season 1, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When the android Kirk boards the Enterprise and takes a "command pack," he walks out and down to the transporter, but he doesn't have the pack in his hand.

Edit

Mudd's Women (season 1, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: As the women are beaming aboard in the transporter room, McCoy's uniform switches from the standard blue tunic to his short-sleeved medical smock and back again between shots.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

Devil in the Dark (season 1, episode 25)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Spock and Kirk pursue the Horta, they come to a fork in the tunnel. Kirk points right and tells Spock to go left. Then he points left and says he'll go right.
