Other mistake: After Scotty makes his remarks to Spock, he raises his phaser. The sparks start up before Scotty levels his phaser.
Revealing mistake: As Spock gets to to the helm position, the whole console visibly wobbles as he hits the controls.
Continuity mistake: As Christine goes to put the respirator in place, she uses her right hand. After the cut, it's her left that puts it in place.
Continuity mistake: As Bones works on Joe's injury, a red light turns on over his head shining down on the area, illuminating his hair. A second later, the red is gone, then back.
Continuity mistake: The indicators radically change positions when Spock gets on the bio bed.
Continuity mistake: When Sulu confronts the men in the corridor, his epee goes from perfectly straight to having a slight crook, then back to straight when he appears on the bridge.
Continuity mistake: As Joe draws back and stands up, he pulls a knife. First, it's sharp side up, then it's suddenly blade down.
Continuity mistake: The background of the cell does not jibe with the positions of Kirk and Cloud William as they fight - where Kirk and Cloud William should have either the cell's bars or the exposed brick wall behind them, there are shots of the opposite wall behind them instead, which is a plastered rock facing.
Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of a boom mic is seen against the rock walls of the cave follows Spock and McCoy when Spock pulls McCoy off Zarabeth.
Revealing mistake: When Mr Hengist goes on the rampage in the hearing room, you can see that the actor playing Hengist is an obvious stunt double wearing a bald cap, whereas John Fiedler has hair on the back and sides.
Requiem for Methuselah - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: When looking at the view screen from the helm, there is a man sitting at the Conn position, but in the wide angle, there's a woman there.
Requiem for Methuselah - S3-E19
Other mistake: If the ship had not been in visual communication, there's no way Kirk could have seen the Bridge or the crew in suspension.
Continuity mistake: As Nomad first hears Uhura's singing, it extends antennae and leaves the room. After a quick cut scene, as it turns in the corridor the antennae is retracted, then out again on the bridge.
The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: As McCoy first appears from the elevator behind Kirk, then follows him in, his hairline changes from a widow's peak to straight across.
The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When the cube first meets the Enterprise, it's spinning clockwise on its axis. Later, it's spinning counter-clockwise.
Continuity mistake: In the 40th Anniversary release of the complete original series, this episode opens with Scotty at the conn, making an extended log entry, wearing his third-season swept-back hairstyle, and it is very obvious that he is visually mouthing several completely different sentences than we hear in the audio. After the opening credits roll, we next see Scotty wearing his more typical relaxed hairstyle with slight bangs. It is apparent that, in remastering and editing this episode, they inserted footage of Scotty from another episode altogether. For whatever reason, it is a glaring mistake of both continuity and audio editing.
Continuity mistake: Just before Parmen starts mind-controlling Kirk, McCoy and Spock, he presents them with three gifts. Kirk receives a large, gold Greek shield, which the captain holds with both hands, in front of him, as the lengthy scene continues. In the wide shot, Kirk is holding the shield high up on his chest, completely obscuring his Federation insignia. In subsequent close-ups, Kirk is holding the shield down low, around waist-level, fully exposing his chest and insignia. Every time the camera cuts back to wide-shot, Kirk is again holding the shield up high on his chest.
This Side of Paradise - S1-E25
Continuity mistake: As Kirk sits on the deserted bridge, there is nothing out of the ordinary with him. After he sits at the helm position, the camera looks at him over the console, and there's suddenly a spore spewing plant to shoot him.
Suggested correction: The plant did not suddenly appear, it was there from earlier in the episode.
This Side of Paradise - S1-E25
Other mistake: After Spock is hit with the spores, he goes down on all fours in pain. As he writhes around, the skin tone of his ears is vastly different to his other makeup.
A Taste of Armageddon - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: The chamber the guards try to shove Fox in is open when Spock shoos everyone away. But it's closed when he goes to blast it.
