Mistake Plot hole: "Psychobombs": The alien-possessed Mason steals Captain Lauritzen's fingerprints by pressing his fingertips to the captain's and "heat transferring" the prints. Big problems here: those prints would now be backwards and for the wrong hand. But when the computer later reads the prints, it fails to notice this and passes him through security as "Identity Correct."

Mistake Continuity: "Computer Affair": A UFO crash lands in Canada and sits amidst trees in a wooded area. Just before the craft explodes, the only snow visible is on mountains in the distant background. After it explodes, however, the ground and trees all around it are suddenly covered with snow.

Mistake Revealing: "Computer Affair": In the interior shots of Mobile 1's cockpit, we see that there's a crew of 3 and that the pilot is black. But in shots of the exterior (miniature model stock footage), there's only one occupant, a pilot, and it's a doll with distinctively Caucasian features.
