Star Trek (1966)

Tomorrow is Yesterday - S1-E20

Corrected entry: When the Enterprise is slingshotting its way back to the "present" it uses the computer to deposit the two men at different times, The Enterprise is traveling backwards in time, so will logically meet the time when the guard was beamed up first, not after Christopher is returned to his cockpit. So the order is wrong. Should be guard then Christopher, not Christopher then guard. (00:43:15)

Correction: They are moving backwards in time as they approach the sun, but after the slingshot breakaway they are moving rapidly forward in time. Spock even says the chronometer is moving forward again, and then Kirk asks if they have the exact chronometer reading before redepositing Captain Christopher and the Sergeant. So the order depicted in the episode is actually the correct order.

Star Trek (1966)

The City on the Edge of Forever - S1-E29

Corrected entry: In the credits, Joan Collins' character is named "Sister Edith Keeler." But her character is engaging in a romantic/sexual relationship with Kirk. He says he has "ulterior motives" towards her which she reacts to playfully and kisses him. Not appropriate behaviour for a sister, particularly in the time and place the episode is set.

PeterNZ

Correction: Edith Keeler wasn't a nun. She was a social worker, and thus, nothing she did would be considered inappropriate. She did work at the mission soup kitchen, where they would have called all women "sisters" just like they might call the men "brothers".

Bishop73

Correction: It's not like that's an uncommon name in Scotland, there are probably many McFlys in that cemetary or any in a Scottish community.

Dad's Army (1971)

Corrected entry: When John Le Mesurier calls for 5 rounds rapid fire from the van, towards enemy on the left, the soldiers deliver three "rounds", then when called upon to deliver 5 to the sky above, they deliver four.

PeterNZ

Correction: The Warmington on Sea platoon is not an efficient military outfit. This could be a character mistake, rather than a film mistake.

John Elwen

Corrected entry: In the first movie, it is established that hobbit children have pointed ears. Yet Elanor, whom we see at the very end, does not have them.

PeterNZ

Correction: Elanor does have pointed ears - visible when being carried by her father.
