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.

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.

Star Trek (1966)
Other mistake: As Kirk and party duel against the Klingons, there's a heavy-looking round conduit on the wall right before the turbolift door that gets knocked down so it stands as a big flower pot. A moment later, it's back in position.

The Immunity Syndrome - S2-E18

Other mistake: When the Planet Killer hits the Enterprise, the ship lurches 45° to starboard, and the crew fall accordingly. However, the chairs, except for the communications station, stay in place.

Star Trek (1966)
Other mistake: In the Transporter room, as the Decontamination field is used, the shuttered lighting casts not only on Spock and Joe, but on the walls surrounding the chamber.

Requiem for Methuselah - S3-E19
Other mistake: If the ship had not been in visual communication, there's no way Kirk could have seen the Bridge or the crew in suspension.

This Side of Paradise - S1-E25

The Enterprise Incident - S3-E2
Other mistake: As the Romulan commander goes to answer the intercom, the switch she touches to open the link is already on, probably left that way from a previous take.
8th Sep 2016
Star Trek (1966)
Other mistake: In the cells, the particular strip of metal Kirk pulls loose has rivets that are noticeably different than the rest, making it easier to pull loose.

The Return of the Archons - S1-E22
Other mistake: On the bridge, as the camera looks at the view screen, there is a flashing blue light reflecting on the console in front of Sulu, but there is no light other than scanner under the viewer flashing and it's too far away to project light that far, and it's amber colored.

7th Jun 2016
Star Trek (1966)
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.

Other mistake: When the nuclear bomb explodes, the ship is tilted 40° to 45° to starboard (right), but Uhura goes over to the port (left) side of the lift.

Star Trek (1966)
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.
