Alpha Child - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: As Jackie is drawing, Koenig's face comes up on the communicator. As the screen goes from the idle/test pattern screen to the identity screen, you can see the picture jump, suggesting there was a pause in filming to allow the unit with the idle screen and the picture screen to be swapped out.

Other mistake: As Zoref pulls the reactor door open, the wig wrinkles up on the back of his neck. Also, when the door is half way open, he's still holding it, then he's suddenly several feet away from it when it's still swinging open.

Visible crew/equipment: After the creature that was Zoref pulls the reactor door open, the camera crew is reflected on the door's surface.

Other mistake: As they track Zoref, Victor calls for a view of Corridor 16, then after viewing it, calls for Corridor 49. In both views, it is the same Corridor, as evidenced by the number 16 on the lighted wall panel on the corner facing the camera.

Continuity mistake: As Zoreth looks around after his wife closes the door, he closes a book he's holding. A second later, he's holding it by one cover, the book hanging open.

Question: Assuming that Moonbase Alpha is on the side facing the Earth (which is seen on the horizon over the base in the pilot episode "Breakaway"), making travel to it and back easier, and the nuclear waste on the far side, away from Earth, wouldn't the explosion propel the moon towards the Earth, thereby dooming Alpha to certain destruction?

Character mistake: The Eagle Koenig flies is called Eagle One. However, the number on the door behind him is plainly a four, meaning Eagle Four.
Suggested correction: This happens a lot. The number on the door is not the number of the Eagle, it's the number of the command module. The super structure and drive systems are Eagle One. Even then, there has been several Eagle Ones destroyed or lost. Eagle One is assigned its designation by the head of Recon, Alan Carter.

Revealing mistake: Many times throughout the series, the wires that hold up and control the models of the Eagles are easily seen.
