Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5
Plot hole: When the Medusan Ambassador Kollos and Dr. Jones materialize, the latter is wearing a protective visor and Mr. Spock can see that. Spock then mistakenly addresses Dr. Jones as Ambassador Kollos. Spock's suddenly illogical mistake seems odd: why should the Ambassador need to wear a visor? Shortly after, why do both Jones and Spock wear visors while carrying the Ambassador's still closed gasket to his cabin? (00:01:45)

Visible crew/equipment: Spock and Dr. Jones carry Koldos into his quarters, and when Spock walks over to the wall communicator to contact the bridge, the camera casts a shadow on the wall as it moves closer to Spock. (00:05:20)

Continuity mistake: At the dinner for Miranda, Kirk drains his glass. No one refills it, but it's nearly full again a few shots later. (00:08:25 - 00:10:35)
Suggested correction: Kirk's glass is not empty at 8:25, it is the top of the decanter in front of his chest that looks like an empty glass in the shot. Later Kirk empties his glass during toasts and refills his own glass as he watches Marvik leave the room.

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)

Revealing mistake: During the fight in engineering, Marvick's kick, throwing one of the engineering crewmen violently back against the wall, misses by an obvious mile. (00:20:10)

Visible crew/equipment: When Kirk turns to follow Miranda across the arboretum, the camera shadow is briefly visible on the wall at the lower left of the screen. (00:29:50)

Deliberate mistake: While Miranda is with Kollos, McCoy tells Kirk that he didn't reveal her secret because he respects her privacy, then when Miranda steps out of the room and concedes to obey, the next closeup of Kirk is a flipped shot. (00:34:05)

Revealing mistake: The colorful nebulae of the energy barrier are showing through the hull of the suddenly-transparent Enterprise as it heads back into the galaxy. (00:37:40)

Other mistake: In the final scene, Kirk is still in the transporter room, but does not have on a visor when the ambassador transports out. Even if he did, humans can still go mad if wearing one and that's why Spock operates the transporter. Spock has his visor on, but then you see Kirk walk out of the transporter room without a visor and he is not going mad.

Factual error: The Enterprise accidentally travels a short distance outside the galaxy and can't find its way back. But they'd have to travel for months to get so far outside the Milky Way that they couldn't, well, just turn around in the void and see it. Our galaxy is huge. 100,000 light years across. Very huge. And that barrier may surround the galaxy, but even it is big, pink and visible.

Continuity mistake: Kirk aims his phaser at a berserk Spock's head and fires, but the beam hits him in the stomach.
