Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5
Visible crew/equipment: At the dinner, when Miranda stands up to leave, there's a visible white tape mark on the floor near her feet. Then, when McCoy makes his exit Kirk reaches for the rose, and there's a better view of the white tape mark under the table. (00:11:50 - 00:13:45)
Continuity mistake: After the heavy door lands on Korob, his right arm is straight down by his side. The next shot of Korob shows his right arm extended away from his body.
Other mistake: In the Briefing Room, while Kirk is feeling the effects of the disease, Spock tells Scotty that he will call the restart formula in from the bridge. But just a moment later, Kirk enters the Bridge, and Spock is in the Engine Room working on the settings and formula with Scotty.
Audio problem: About a minute or two into the episode, Captain Kirk says "That's incredible" but his mouth doesn't match the words.
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)
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)
Audio problem: Spock uses the intercom to call Mr. Scott who is in engineering. As the shot cuts to a side view of Scotty standing at the controls, he answers "Scott here" but his mouth or lips never move. (00:44:24)
Other mistake: Kirk orders the helm to get phasers ready to fire at the Romulan vessel. When the helm responds, it's not the phaser banks that fire, but photon torpedoes. (00:32:58)
Continuity mistake: After the battle ends, Kirk looks up to the exact spot where the Metron will be standing, way before the Metron even materializes. (00:45:53)
Continuity mistake: After Kirk tells the Metrons that he won't kill the Gorn, he yells out "you'll have to get your entertainment someplace else." Two seconds later, Kirk turns his head to the side and looks stunned. That look of surprise takes place a full second before the Gorn starts to disappear. (00:45:47)
Continuity mistake: In the turbolift, Chekov is standing to the left, but when the door opens he has moved to the right and exits behind Spock. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: On the planet surface, in the scene where the three security men walk around the rock, Garrovick has his arm up with his phaser. When the camera angle cuts to him alone, his arm is suddenly down.
Space Seed - S1-E23
Other mistake: Spock calls for McGivers and Scotty to the transporter room. In the Transporter Room, Scotty is at the controls, then after he went to the Transporter pad, they used a stock shot of his hands working the controls.
Revealing mistake: When first seen on Gothos, the "frozen" Kirk's eyes blink.
Space Seed - S1-E23
Revealing mistake: During the fight sequence between Kirk and Khan in the engine room, you can see in some shots that it is not William Shatner and Ricardo Montalban fighting, but their stunt doubles.
Space Seed - S1-E23
Visible crew/equipment: When Khan hides behind the wall in the engine room before Kirk enters, a crew member walks in front of the stage light and you can see the shadow of his head passing across the floor.
Shore Leave - S1-E16
Revealing mistake: When Yeoman Barrow places her tunic on a shrub while changing, automobiles can be seen in the background through the brush.
Continuity mistake: Latimer falls down face down but when picked up he is already face up.
Answer: Kirk was getting his physical and Dr. McCoy probably turned off communications, because if he hadn't, Kirk would have left and headed straight for the bridge, leaving McCoy irritated.
