Visible crew/equipment: At the end, when Apollo leaps over the console to tackle Chakra, the stunt double's face is visible. (00:41:00)

Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Audio problem: As Adama says, "After that, it's a toe-to-toe slugging match," the shot reverses angles on the word "match," and his lips aren't moving when the word is spoken. (00:14:40)

Star Trek (1966)
Revealing mistake: Zarabeth tells Spock that Zor Khan only left her what was necessary to survive in the ice age. Mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and hairspray were apparently considered survival necessities. Yes, we know the actress "had" to wear make-up. But in a prehistoric setting, it shouldn't look as though she did. She could and should have been given a more "natural" make-up job - and an unlacquered hairdo. (00:38:25)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Revealing mistake: The Federation Commander reads a report to Servalan, but when the camera angle shifts to a shot taken over his shoulder, you can see that he's "reading" from a colorful plastic board with no printing on it whatsoever. (00:14:20)
14th Aug 2006
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: In Kirk's log entry, which he somehow makes from jail without a tricorder, he states that 5 witnesses heard him speak to the "spirits." This isn't true, and Kirk ought to know it. The crowd rushed in through an archway after he spoke to Spock and McCoy, and they were all too far away before to hear him. (00:10:50 - 00:26:00)

Star Trek (1966)
Factual error: When Kirk is given the medicine badge, it's a stretchy elastic/Spandex headband. This is supposedly a completely pre-industrial culture paralleling the early Native American tribes. They have no fabric, no yarn, no spinning wheels - only hides and animal hair, neither of which can stretch a la Spandex. (00:14:40)

Blake's 7 (1978)
Factual error: Servalan's ship takes off from the surface of Bucol 2 with Avon and crew standing directly below it. Yet for some reason, the down-blast from the very large launching ship does nothing more harmful than slightly mess up their hairdos. (00:47:50)
14th Aug 2006
Blake's 7 (1978)
Continuity mistake: Maybe he ran into a barber along the way? Avon beams into the woods on Bucol 2 with his hair brushed straight back, but a few shots later, it's restyled and combed neatly down over his forehead. (00:43:35 - 00:44:45)

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Visible crew/equipment: When Zark uncovers the caged bat and shows it to Illya, the shadow of the boom mike sweeps across the back wall. (00:33:30)
11th Aug 2006
UFO (1970)
Revealing mistake: Straker and Foster take off for the moon in a large red hovercraft which, even though it's launching in broad daylight, doesn't cast any shadow. (00:12:00)
10th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Factual error: Apollo tells Brenda and the General that he's from another galaxy, and Starbuck later repeats this impossible claim. The series writers have again confused galaxies and solar systems. Intergalactic travel would take thousands of years. The rag-tag fleet usually moves at only sublight speed, and it traverses only star systems, not galaxies. (00:26:00 - 00:29:30)
10th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Continuity mistake: When John turns Starbuck's uniform white, the flight jacket's cuffs suddenly become much larger. (00:27:00)
10th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Plot hole: The General informs the President that the Eastern Alliance has just launched its missiles. But the General has been sitting there throughout Apollo's speech with no communications device. So he couldn't have known that the missiles had been launched. (00:36:40)
9th Aug 2006
UFO (1970)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scenes, the smudges and rips in Straker's black shirt keep appearing, disappearing and changing configurations between shots as he races through S.H.A.D.O. HQ and the Harlington-Straker studio lot. (00:04:30)
9th Aug 2006
UFO (1970)
Flight Path - S1-E15
Revealing mistake: When the mobile-units leave the transport carrier, you can see that both are being "driven" by dolls. (00:22:00)
8th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Greetings from Earth (1) - S1-E19
Factual error: Michael's ship escapes from the landing bay into space - with a crowd of people standing right next to it. No one is at all adversely affected by the launch and the vacuum it should have exposed them to. It barely ruffles their hair. (00:40:00)
8th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Greetings from Earth (2) - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: The "hovercraft" Starbuck arrives in with Hector is bouncing over the terrain, very obviously riding on wheels and not air. (00:20:15)
8th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Greetings from Earth (2) - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: Just before Commandant Leiter is told that all three ships have landed on Paradeen, a shot of the Eastern Alliance ship shows very visible guide wires holding up the model. (00:13:40)
8th Aug 2006
Battlestar Galactica (1978)
Greetings from Earth (2) - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: When Hector and Vector first arrive, Starbuck and Apollo are standing about a foot apart. Every time the shot cuts to a closer angle, they're shoulder-to-shoulder with no space in between. (00:07:20)
8th Aug 2006
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Gets Married - S2-E15
Deliberate mistake: Joshua Skinner hid a fortune in gold by melting it down, mixing it with ink and writing it into 947 journals. Monk's producer concedes that in real life, 947 journals would probably hold "only about $11 worth" of gold-laced ink. But the idea was so amusing that he couldn't resist using it anyway. (00:42:00)
