Corrected entry: At the start of Kirk and McCoy's trial, the clock on the Enterprise shows the time to be 11:15:07, but when the trial is over and the crew discuss the sentence, the clock shows 10:45:17. (00:45:40 - 00:53:05)

Corrected entry: Valeris informs the crew that her comrades will make sure to jam ship to ship transmissions, yet minutes later the Enterprise is able to contact the Excelsior. In addition, why wouldn't the Excelsior contact Khitomer to warn them of the impending assassination attempt? (01:27:40 - 01:30:35)
Correction: Valeris specifically says "ship to shore" not "ship to ship." Different communication protocols and hence one could be jammed without necessarily causing a problem with the other. And as to why Excelsior didn't contact anyone, that may or may not be an error. It would depend on how the ship to shore transmissions were being blocked. In order to block the Enterprise's communications at all without an active agent on the ship anymore would require blocking the transmission at the receiving end. In this case, they probably had communication to or from Khitomer blocked, since that is infinitely easier than blocking all communication in the whole quadrant. And if that's the case, Excelsior would be just as unable to warn Khitomer and stop the assassination as Enterprise was.

Corrected entry: Why would Valeris leave the bodies of Burke and Samno in the halls to be discovered so easily? Wouldn't it have been better to stow their bodies away to delay discovery as long as possible (at least until after the Peace Conference)? (01:23:50)
Correction: Because it would be illogical. She had to do away with both of them at the same time (if one goes missing, the other might get suspicious and talk) and perhaps she didn't have the time to plan an arrangement where she could meet with them and arrange a hit. So her best bet was to sneak up on both of them and shoot them. It's a lot easier and faster to shoot two people and run away than it is to drag two bodies through the ship's corridors and risk discovery.

Corrected entry: After Spock and McCoy rig the photon torpedo to lock on to plasma discharge, why did the torpedo only detect Chang's vessel and not the Excelsior's? (01:41:10)
