The Shock Will Kill You - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: After Ralph drops down into the tunnel in order to lure the creature, Ralph stops in front of a junction box on the wall. In the shot facing the box head-on as Ralph gets one of his holographs, suddenly there's writing on the cover of the junction box. The writing is not part of Ralph's vision. (00:37:55)

The Shock Will Kill You - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: While Ralph, Pam, and Bill are at the motel, Ralph wraps up all the metal plate covers and cutlery inside the bedspread, then when Ralph walks back and forth we can see the wires attached to the bedspread bundle as it moves. (00:18:15)

The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24

Visible crew/equipment: After M-5 fires on the other starships Daystrom speaks to M-5 about the murders, then when Kirk walks over to Daystrom and tells him the M-5 must be destroyed, the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible over Daystrom. The white tape mark is also visible on the floor near Uhura's chair, where McCoy had been standing earlier. (00:42:15)

Bread and Circuses - S2-E25

Continuity mistake: While Flavius guides Kirk, Spock, and McCoy to the city to find Merik, the foursome stop behind a group of trees. In the first wide shot, as Flavius explains they'll wait until dark, there are no red marks on the tree trunks, but in their closeups there are a few red marks (presumably from squibs), before the gunfire has even occurred. At the start of the second wide shot the tree trunks are still void of those marks, and when the police shoot at them that's when the red marks appear. (00:15:15)

Bread and Circuses - S2-E25

Visible crew/equipment: After Kirk tells the policeman that he wants to see Merikus and "perhaps" he's a friend, the policemen lock the cell then leave, and when it cuts to a view of the cell from the side as Spock walks over to the steel bars, the overhead boom mic is visible inside the cell, over Spock. It's visible again, with a better view, when McCoy walks over to Spock beside the bars. (00:18:15)

Bread and Circuses - S2-E25

Continuity mistake: While Kirk, Spock, and McCoy attempt to escape, Merik contacts Enterprise with the stolen communicator and the Proconsul stabs him, then when Merik tosses the communicator it lands in front of Kirk's feet in a closeup. The problem is that in the closeup Kirk is wearing his black uniform pants, but during this scene Kirk is wearing the light colored slave pants. Also interesting to note, when the sword landed on the floor in front of Spock's feet, the Vulcan is wearing black lace-up flat footwear instead of his black uniform boots. (00:46:35)

Spock's Brain - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Scotty, Kirk, and the others follow Spock's signal to the chamber with the Controller, they encounter Kara and she activates their pain bands. Spock's body has a pain band around his waist as the other men drop to the ground, but after McCoy tells Kirk, "Spock, no pain," the pain band is missing from Spock's body, then in the next shot it reappears when he goes after Kara's bracelet.

Spock's Brain - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Kirk and his landing party beam down to the planet there are six shots of Morg, who have their right arms covered in fur in all those flipped shots, but when Morg attack the landing party it's their left arms covered in fur. Presumably, the first six shots were flipped for direction continuity. (00:13:15)

Assignment: Earth - S2-E26

Revealing mistake: After Scotty finally locates Seven on the gantry while he's tampering with the rocket, it cuts to a quick shot of Kirk and Spock, then in the following shot of Roberta when she turns the vault's combination locks, the stunt wire is visible behind her as it moves up to turn the door's wheel handle.

The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: During the scene with the ore freighter, there are four closeups of Spock while he's bent over the scope at his station, and in the background behind Spock we can see Kirk and others on the bridge are gone. It also occurs in the earlier scene during the encounter with the two starships. (00:24:00)

Visible crew/equipment: After Melakon shoots at the curtained window and kills John Gill in the broadcast booth, Isak shoots Melakon, then when Eneg stops the soldier who points his gun at Isak, the shadow of the boom mic dips into view at the top, left side of the screen. (00:45:50)

Toy Story 3 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Mom gives Molly the donation box she writes "Sunnyside" on only one side of the corrugated box. When the Sunnyside box is in the car and also when Mom carries it to the daycare, there's printed red text (name, contents, etc) under the hand hole at the adjacent side of the box, but when Bonnie's Mom carries the box into the butterfly room that printed red text has vanished (NOT the handwritten "Sunnyside"), then it reappears when the kids go to recess.
