The Games Vampires Play - S3-E15
Factual error: At the end, Nick recites the "you have the right to remain silent" spiel to Rita as he arrests her. Suspects in Canada, where this show is set, are not "read their rights." That's a U.S. law (the Miranda Act) and it isn't observed north of the border. (00:41:45)
31st May 2006
The Brain-Killer Affair - S1-E23
Revealing mistake: Solo pushes the chief from Calcutta's wheelchair into an elevator in UNCLE headquarters. The floor going into the lift, however, is visibly solid, with no break to allow for a real elevator's movement. (00:14:55)
31st May 2006
Continuity mistake: Lt. Galloway, who was killed off the season before in "The Omega Glory," is resurrected without explanation for this final episode. (00:24:25)
31st May 2006
Revealing mistake: During the Court Martial scene, a directorial error led to Kirk's exit from the briefing room in the wrong direction. He walks off screen into what would have been a solid wall or corner. The briefing room's only door is on the other side of the room. (00:39:15)
31st May 2006
Continuity mistake: During Spock's Court Martial, Chekov says that General Order 4 is the only exception to Starfleet's no-death-penalty policy, and Sulu and the others agree. However, according to "The Menagerie," that exception is General Order 7, not 4.
30th May 2006
Audio problem: In Zarabeth's cave, when McCoy says, "You've been dishonest with me, Spock," his lips are completely out of sync with his words. (00:42:00)
30th May 2006
Continuity mistake: When the prosecutor visits the cell, Kirk's hands on the bars change positions when the camera angle reverses. From the inside, there's one bar between Kirk's hands. From outside, there are two. (00:28:10)
29th May 2006
Continuity mistake: The ropes tying Yeoman Rand to the chair keep changing positions (above her elbows or below her elbows) between shots. (00:39:40)
29th May 2006
The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: After they've blasted the cube, Kirk and Spock are discussing repairs on the bridge. Spock's earpiece is in place one minute, but vanishes the next when the camera angle changes. (00:13:30)
28th May 2006
Visible crew/equipment: When Kirk is agonizing over the sound of Surak's supposed cries for help, an equipment shadow, possibly from a boom mike, skates across the rocks behind his left shoulder. (00:40:00)
28th May 2006
Revealing mistake: When Kirk & Spock beam down with Lincoln to the supposedly newly-created non-volcanic landscape, there are footprints all over the ground. They disappear a few shots later, though.
28th May 2006
Deliberate mistake: So that he can look in the right direction, toward Lincoln, a shot of Kirk is reversed before the first battle, putting his uniform insignia on the wrong side. (00:25:45)
28th May 2006
Revealing mistake: When he kicks Colonel Green away during the first fight, Kirk splits his pants. Fortunately, they mend themselves a few shots later. (00:28:00)
26th May 2006
The See-Paris-and-Die Affair - S1-E22
Other mistake: Solo seems to forget just who called whom when he calls Illya on the communicator. After Illya picks up, Solo answers as though Illya had called him instead. (00:32:40)
26th May 2006
Continuity mistake: The leather strap with which the Troglytes lasso Spock disappears and reappears repeatedly from around his waist and shoulders during the scuffle at the mine entrance. (00:04:30)
26th May 2006
Revealing mistake: When Kirk pushes Plasus against a rock wall in the mine, a huge upper section of the "solid rock" wobbles. (00:43:20)
26th May 2006
Audio problem: When Kirk demands to know who the Troglytes are, his voice is dubbed over: his lips don't move at all. (00:04:05)
25th May 2006
Continuity mistake: The clock on Natalie's lab wall jumps forward almost half an hour during a 2-minute conversation with Nick. (00:27:25 - 00:29:05)
25th May 2006
Deliberate mistake: At the end, a line apparently cut earlier creates slight confusion. Nick says to Nat, "When LaCroix asked you why?" (why save vampires). In the earlier scene as shown, the elusive LaCroix spoke only briefly to Nat in the lab, and never asked her that question. (00:42:20)
25th May 2006
Continuity mistake: When Cal falls against the canister in the lab and accidentally releases the poison gas, the position of the big yellow lever on the gas pipe shifts back and forth by 90 degrees between takes. (00:34:25)
