Strange New Worlds - S1-E1

Character mistake: The Enterprise is targeted by projectiles from the planet. Spock identifies them as "plasma torpedoes", and Captain Pike reacts with surprise; "Plasma torpedoes? That's 21st century tech" and from that they all establish that the civilization they contacted is not yet capable of warp drive. Plasma torpedoes are the main weaponry of the Romulans centuries later, and Earth itself did acquire warp drive in the 21st century, so this claim and deduction don't seem to add up. (00:22:15)

The Doll's House - S1-E7

Character mistake: When Rose and her friend board the plane, the stewardess offers them champagne. When she hands them their glasses, it is evident that the wine is a non-sparkling white wine, as there are no bubbles rising in the glasses. This is possibly a mistake by the stewardess, but not one that a professional would be likely to make.
