And the Children Shall Lead - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: The stardates of Starnes' entries are 5025.3, 5032.4, and 5038.3 But Kirk gives the stardate of when they arrive at the beginning of the episode as 5029.5, so apparently Starnes made two entries after he died.

Other mistake: At the end of the episode, Kirk commands the Enterprise to Star Base 4. Earlier in the episode, there was an unsuccessful attempt to beam up two crewmen left on the planet Triacus. They evidently remain there to this day.

Audio problem: When Spock asks Kirk, "Why are they bothering Starfleet?", there is a loud buzzing noise twice as they are focused on Kirk's face.

Continuity mistake: When Gorgon the Angel is on the bridge with the children, the positions of the children are different depending if the shot is from the rear of the children or the front.
Chosen answer: If they're in orbit, they're being pulled along by the planet's gravity well, therefore, impulse engines would only be used for minor corrections and would be "on standby" while in orbit, but not active. (Like keeping your car idling without revving the engine and creating plumes of exhaust).
