A Piece of the Action - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: After Kirk proposes a deal at the end, Oxmyx agrees and points towards the others behind him with his left hand. A second later, he's facing toward the camera with his right hand pointing.
Continuity mistake: When Kirk gives the order to Scott for transport, Spock lies in a diagonal position with the yellow spores on his chest with McCoy kneeling by him. After the cut to Scott on the bridge, Spock is lying with his head towards the camera, his chest is clean, and McCoy standing about six feet to Kirk's right. All much too quickly to be normal.
Visible crew/equipment: When the camera looks at Spock after Scott's body is removed from the bridge, the shadows of lighting equipment is visible behind him.
Continuity mistake: As Kirk and party dematerialize, Kirk's arms are by his side. As they are briefly seen in the Transporter room, his left hand is up with the communicator.
