Errand of Mercy - S1-E27

Corrected entry: After Kirk and Spock's identities are revealed, they are taken to a prison cell. However, the Organians are a race of pacifists who abhor any act of violence - this should presumably include the act of incarceration. As such, there should be no prisons on Organia. Moreover, the Klingons are not stone masons; the prison cell shown in the episode is architecturally consistent with the other buildings on the planet so it was not constructed by Klingons (especially so quickly).

Correction: This is purely speculation. Being pacifists doesn't preclude them from having a jail cell, especially since the entire town was created for the benefit of outsiders.

Correction: The Organians faked their entire civilization, including both their own appearance, culture and buildings. As it is all placed there to fool visitors, a jail is not out of place at all, but helps maintain the masquerade.

Charlie X - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: After McCoy examines Charlie and they talk about how Charlie learned to talk by just listening to the ship's tapes, when Charlie stands up the two actors' marks can be seen on the floor - the short one for Charlie and the longer one for McCoy, where they both will stand momentarily.

Answer: Kirk was getting his physical and Dr. McCoy probably turned off communications, because if he hadn't, Kirk would have left and headed straight for the bridge, leaving McCoy irritated.
