Spock's Brain - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: After Spock's Brain is taken McCoy says he has no idea how long the body can last on life support without the brain. Somehow in the following few moments McCoy has established that Mr Spock's Body will die in exactly 24 earth hours. No explanation is given as to how he came up with this figure.

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)

Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5

Other mistake: In the final scene, Kirk is still in the transporter room, but does not have on a visor when the ambassador transports out. Even if he did, humans can still go mad if wearing one and that's why Spock operates the transporter. Spock has his visor on, but then you see Kirk walk out of the transporter room without a visor and he is not going mad.

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: 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.

I, Mudd - S2-E8

Question: When Kirk and crew neutralized all the androids on the planet, what happened to the androids on the Enterprise running the ship?

Answer: After causing Norman to overload, all of the other androids shut down. The same could be said for the androids on the Enterprise.

Answer: If all the humans beamed down and only Androids were on the ship as Larry Mudd said then how did they get back aboard the Enterprise if all the robots were shut down.
