Miri - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: When Kirk and Miri are in the kid's hideout, Kirk is attacked by Louise, the wild woman. After Kirk knocks her off his back, she falls to the ground and tries to get up again, Kirk has to resort to stunning her with his phaser. The blue beam starts coming out then starts coming back towards the phaser before going back out again. (00:26:12)

Miri - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: As McCoy kneels by the tricycle in the town square, an unknown person attacks him. As they roll on the ground, and as he raises up facing the others, the stunt double is easily recognized.

Movie Nut

The Menagerie (2) - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: When the Talosians place Christopher Pike and Vina into the "picnic" illusion (in the countryside on Earth), Pike wanders around marveling at how real it all seems. Well, "real" except for the fact that Pike's body is casting 4 distinct shadows in 4 different directions on the ground, the result of studio set lighting.

The Conscience of the King - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: As Kirk and Lenore leave the cocktail party to walk around outside, they stop to talk. From Kirk's perspective, he is to the left of Lenore, enough to see what should be in view ahead of him. Only seconds later when she leans in to kiss him does he notice Dr. Leighton lying next to some rocks. She was not obscuring his view before. Why didn't Kirk see this while they first started talking? (00:10:36)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: They're on a planet where their every thought can be almost instantly created in physical form. Within the context of the episode it wouldn't be unusual to see literally anything in the background. Perhaps one of them was thinking about something involving that structure and it was being constructed for them.

Shore Leave - S1-E16

Revealing mistake: Stock footage turns the single plane strafing Rodriguez and Angela into two attacking planes for a moment. It becomes one plane again when it flies over Kirk and company. (00:33:40)

Shore Leave - S1-E16

Revealing mistake: After Rodriguez and Angela run from the strafing plane, they end up stopping next to a tree. Angela falls to the ground without Rodriguez knowing that she was hit by the gunfire. He continues to watch the plane disappear with his head looking upwards. When his head comes back down, rather than looking towards her to talk (where her face would be if she was standing), his eyes immediately look down at her on the ground...as if he'd been expecting that she'd be lying there all along. (00:34:01)

Shore Leave - S1-E16

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the episode, the heavy chains restraining the "loose" tiger are visible both around his neck and running across the rocks to the right of the shot. (00:42:35)

Tomorrow is Yesterday - S1-E20

Factual error: Towards the end of the show the Enterprise is leaving Earth orbit and heading towards the sun. We see the Earth diminish and the moon appear looking exactly as it does from Earth. From this angle we should be seeing the "dark side" of the moon, which looks completely different. (00:40:50)

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.
