The Trouble With Tribbles - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Uhura's image on the conference viewer is of a close up on her face. When the camera looks at the screen, the image is of her head and upper torso. Likewise, when Fitzpatrick is on, first it's his head and torso, then it's only his head and shoulders.
Other mistake: As Kirk nears the portal, the edge shimmers just before he gets to it. As he goes through it, his actions are greatly slowed rather than natural.
Continuity mistake: After Kirk knocks the jailer out, there's a bit of stew on the cell's door above the lock. After Kirk drags the man into the cell and closes the door, the bar above the lock is clean and dry.
Factual error: Kirk, McCoy, and Spock are chained to the dungeon wall, with McCoy noticing he is next to a skeleton, also chained. This is incorrect, as a skeleton's bones are held together by cartilage, which would rot over time. Therefore, the skeleton would not be hanging intact, but would be a pile of bones on the floor.
Suggested correction: As we learn in the episode, the 2 aliens created the entire castle only recently to appeal to the human's primal fears and superstitions. A pile of bones on the floor would not have the frightening impact of a hanging skeleton.
Audio problem: As Commodore Stocker freezes up on the bridge, before the cut to sick bay, the bridge is shaken by a Romulan blast, but the sound is absent.
Other mistake: The red alert light at the entrance to the chapel blinks a few times and stops, even though the rest are still flashing. Also, the last thing Kirk says is "All decks, condition red", which is unnecessary, since the red alert has already begun sounding.
The Man Trap - S1-E2
Audio problem: As Kirk low crawls behind some boulder and grass, his communicator flips open and closed. If it was opened, the sound of the channel opening should have been heard, but wasn't. (00:36:35)
Continuity mistake: In the first scene when Spock is piloting the shuttle craft out of the Enterprise and into space, as the bay doors open you can see both the ship's shuttles, the Galileo, and right behind it the Columbus. Yet as soon as the Galileo clears the bay doors, in the immediate reverse shot, the bay is empty and the Columbus has disappeared. (00:01:45)
The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: When Sulu is first reporting the M-5 movements, Kirk's hand alternates between being up at his temple and down by his mouth, too quickly to be real.
Revealing mistake: In the close up shots of the mirror Sulu, the poor make up job of the scar on his face is very evident.
Continuity mistake: When Kirk and Spock get to Sick Bay, the doors open to reveal Nomad coming out. But the shot of Nomad coming out is a re-used shot of it coming out of the Turbo Lift, not the Sick Bay, as the nameplate said. (00:42:10)
Space Seed - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: At the compression chamber, the pressure meter goes from thirty to ten too quickly to be accurate between shots. After showing ten, the meter jumps back to twenty.
Revealing mistake: As Kirk fights Finney in the Engine room, in the long shots, Kirk's stunt double is easy to pick out from the close shots.
Tomorrow is Yesterday - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: As the camera looks at the pilot in the cockpit, there are supports on either side of and behind him as well as no clouds where there should be, showing he is on a sound stage set.
Continuity mistake: After DeSalle tries, and fails, to call the ship, he shakes his communicator, and the grille closes, but is opened again in the wide shot.
Continuity mistake: As the Galileo re-enters the atmosphere, you can see Scotty in the copilot chair. His hair is parted on the left side, but in the interior shot, it's parted on the right.
Continuity mistake: After the wild man is down on the mound, his right hand is under his body. In the close up, it's on the frame of the trike. (00:05:05)
What Are Little Girls Made Of? - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: As Kirk talks to Ruk, a closeup of Kirk shows a few strands of hair down over his left eye. In the regular shot, it's normal.
