Star Trek

Space Seed - S1-E23

Visible crew/equipment: When the landing party are aboard the Botany Bay talking about it being a sleeper ship, Kirk asks if it's possible they're still alive, and as the camera follows Kirk the shadow of the camera/cameraman is visible on the wall, at the right side of the screen. (00:06:25)

Super Grover

Amok Time - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Kirk confronts Spock in his quarters, Kirk asks if it's something only his planet can do for him, then Kirk uses his left hand to grab hold of Spock's arm as he drops the stylus, but in the closeup it's Kirk's right hand holding Spock's arm up, and that stylus is also back in Spock's raised hand. (00:12:25)

Super Grover

Wolf in The Fold - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Kirk and Spock place Hengist on the transporter platform to beam out, when McCoy and Scotty join them two white tape marks are visible on the floor. McCoy stands at one tape mark before Kirk begins to describe beaming it out into open space, and Scotty stands at the other tape mark as Kirk realises he'll be going alone to the cafe.

Super Grover

A Private Little War - S2-E19

Deliberate mistake: After one of the enemy villagers stabs Nona, during the ensuing fight when Kirk does a flying dropkick on a villager, this semi-closeup and the next wide shot are both flipped shots - the leather band is on Kirk's left upper arm, instead of his right. (00:46:15)

Super Grover

The Gamesters of Triskelion - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: During the final match, while Kirk fights the lone Andorian thrall two things to notice. Kirk's collar of obedience opens up and drops between the two opponents, then when Kirk lifts and flips the Andorian thrall the back of Kirk's black pants are split open in the wide shot. Both the collar and pants are intact in following shots. (00:45:25)

Super Grover

Capt. Kirk: Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

I, Mudd - S2-E8

Question: When Kirk and crew neutralized all the androids on the planet, what happened to the androids on the Enterprise running the ship?

Answer: After causing Norman to overload, all of the other androids shut down. The same could be said for the androids on the Enterprise.

Answer: If all the humans beamed down and only Androids were on the ship as Larry Mudd said then how did they get back aboard the Enterprise if all the robots were shut down.
