Continuity mistake: When Kirk beams down to the planet, he selects the front transporter pad next to the steps, and closest to the door. When he materialises in the replica transporter room, he is on the same pad. When the scene cuts to a view of the empty transporter room, Kirk is no longer on the front pad. The scene cuts again, and Kirk steps off the front pad to walk to the control panel. (00:00:30 - 00:01:30)

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

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