Movie Nut

New this week Visible crew/equipment: As Carrie is facing backwards before Bandit gives her the handle Frog, the shadow of the rack the camera is hanging from is seen on the back of the seats.

The Enemy Within - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When the "evil" Kirk appears, the braid on his sleeves and the Enterprise emblem is missing. Then later, after he gets the brandy, the sleeves and insignia are back.

The Army-Navy Game - S1-E20

Other mistake: Hawkeye reads the propaganda flyer, he says. "Give yourselves up, you can't win. Douglas MacArthur." Trouble is, the papers are all advertising for a flying company called Ace Eli.

The Army-Navy Game - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: While Hawkeye holds the tail assembly, Trapper cuts the wires. In the closeup, he cuts the wires a few inches from the connectors. In the wide shot, the wires were cut closer to the bomb's body.

Patterns of Force - S2-E21

Trivia: When Kirk is donning the Gestapo uniform, Spock says, "You should make a very convincing Nazi." Although the look Kirk gives him is funny, it should be remembered that both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were both Jewish.

Patterns of Force - S2-E21

Revealing mistake: After being put in the cell, when the camera is in a closeup of Spock, you can see the lines in the prosthetic ears, and can easily tell where the makeup is blended into his real ear.

The Return of the Archons - S1-E21

Audio problem: In the transporter room, as Kirk is talking to Sulu, the door opens, McCoy comes in, and the door shuts. Trouble is that the characteristic sound of the door is missing.

Court Martial - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: In the finale of the fight between Kirk and Finney, Kirk's shirt is torn, exposing his right shoulder and arm. As Kirk (the stunt double) goes for the knock out blow, the shirt is only a little torn in the front. Then the close up on Kirk catching Finney, his shoulder is exposed again.

The Naked Time - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the opening, the crewman gets a few drops of the infectant on his hand, but the reddish mass on the wall remains. On the ship, when the spectral view is shown, the red mass is nowhere to be seen.

When Food Goes Bad - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When Baby tries to walk, and he falls over, as he falls you can see the black sleeve covering the puppeteer's arm.

Continuity mistake: Decker's hair is parted on the left, but flips to the right when entering the wormhole, then flips back.

Contagion - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After La Forge reports that the probe should be destroyed, watch the panels behind Picard and to Worf's left. As well as studio lighting, you can see the boom mike moving and reflected in it.

Nada: Brother, life's a bitch...and she's back in heat.

Nada: I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

Audio problem: When Nada first sees the police helicopter, the only sound is a very muted whooshing of the blades. Any other time, the noises are normal.

Visible crew/equipment: After Nada opens the box and looks at the shades, if you look carefully, you can see the filming equipment reflected in the lenses.

Continuity mistake: After leaving Frank at the construction site, Nada finds the box of shades in a garbage truck. However, there's only a few pairs, compared to when he hid the box, and it was full.

Catspaw - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: In the dining hall, Korab leans over to listen to his cat. As he does, his right hand is at seat level. A second later, his right hand is up by his shoulder. (00:22:20)

The Doomsday Machine - S2-E6

Trivia: The events and description of the Planet Killer in this episode are referenced in The Next Generation novel "Vendetta." It was in the records Data was examining for a report for Picard. The first one was called a prototype, and the one Picard and crew face is the finished model. Larger, more powerful, and warp capable, this machine was driven by the vendetta of a person that wants revenge on the Borg.

The Doomsday Machine - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In most shots, the Constellation's impulse engines are lit up orange, but when moving to meet the Enterprise, they're not lit up, though the ship is moving.
