Star Trek ( 1966 )

Continuity mistake: Kyle reports the landing party's whereabouts on the surface, and Spock asks, "And Apollo?" Kirk had no chance to call the ship after Apollo revealed his name - so Spock should not have known it. (00:22:10)

Continuity mistake: The fruit bowl disappears from the table altogether just before the Enterprise fires on the temple. The small statue that's been there from the start vanishes as well. (00:44:25)

Revealing mistake: When Apollo first grows large, the shimmering edge of the special effects matte is visible in the sky just above his right shoulder. (00:13:35)

Continuity mistake: Apollo's lightning bolt throws Scotty across the table and dislodges a big bunch of green grapes from the fruit bowl. They fall onto the table. But when Kirk's crew later assemble at the table, the green grapes aren't there, or in the bowl, or anywhere in the temple. They magically reappear in the bowl just after Spock gets through to Kirk on the communicator. (00:18:55 - 00:41:10)

Continuity mistake: In the original version, the giant hand is holding the Enterprise for most of the episode, but when the Enterprise fires phasers at Apollo's temple, the hand is gone.

Other mistake: The bushes behind the temple shimmer in time with the temple when the ship is firing on it, but they aren't connected to it.

Audio problem: At the temple, as Kirk goes to call the ship, he flips the communicator to open it, as he usually does. However, he has to flip it twice to get it to open, but the sound of the channel opening is heard from the second he starts.

Revealing mistake: As Apollo's head and neck appear on the screen, the neck of the black T-shirt used to mask his body is easily seen, and his shoulders are faintly visible.

Capt. Kirk: Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Trivia

Trivia: Gene Roddenberry created the transporter as an easier (and cheaper) way of getting Enterprise crew members onto a planet's surface, rather than landing the ship on the planet.

Questions

What Are Little Girls Made Of? - S1-E8

Question: When the Enterprise is in orbit, it uses the Impulse engines to maintain orbit. The Impulse engines are located on the back (aft) of the primary saucer. Why were these not on or lit up? Unless they're using gravity, but there are the familiar engine sounds.

Chosen answer: If they're in orbit, they're being pulled along by the planet's gravity well, therefore, impulse engines would only be used for minor corrections and would be "on standby" while in orbit, but not active. (Like keeping your car idling without revving the engine and creating plumes of exhaust).
