The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24

Plot hole: When M-5 destroys the ore freighter, Dr. Daystrom says, "Fortunately, it was only a robot ship." But Daystrom wasn't on the bridge yet when Spock announced that fact. He didn't have any way of knowing that the freighter was unmanned. (00:23:00 - 00:25:05)

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)

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)

Spock: Live long and prosper.

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.
