The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: As the bridge shakes after the object is destroyed, Bailey's chair goes from tilted to upright between angles.
The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: The cube holding the ship in place is spinning counter clockwise, from left to right, on its axis. When the camera is looking at the bridge, the colors are going from left to right, rather than right to left to match the cube's movement.
Other mistake: Early on, there is a shot of the control room. There is a read out that is counting down from "5 04 15", meaning that the launch would be in just over five hours, not less than one minute.
Continuity mistake: The shots of the rocket Scotty cycles through are of different times. There is one shot of the rocket at the launch site, followed by one of the transport taking the rocket to the site.
Continuity mistake: As Kirk talks to Chekov on the screen, his hands are flat on the table, and there is a collection of data tapes in front of him. After the angle change, his hands are clasped on the table, the tapes have been replaced by a data pad, and Kirk appears to be frozen.
A Taste of Armageddon - S1-E24
Revealing mistake: It is easy to tell where the matte painting and live action area meet when Fox and the assistant appear.
Tomorrow is Yesterday - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: When the plane is coming up to intercept the Enterprise, it's shown flying through thin clouds, yet when inside the cockpit, there are no clouds to be seen.
Tomorrow is Yesterday - S1-E20
Visible crew/equipment: When Kirk hears the audio for the first manned moon shot, he gets up to walk over to Spock. As the camera pans to follow, the shadow of the boom mic can be seen moving quickly above and to the left of his head.
Continuity mistake: At the end, Lt. Moreau gives Kirk a report to sign. After signing and giving it back, and after a dialog with Spock, he gets up, goes to Moreau, has the report and looks at it again.
Continuity mistake: First, Scotty rigged a self destruct delay timer for Kirk that supposedly had thirty seconds programmed in. However, putting a timer against the one used in the episode, from start to finish there was one minute twenty seconds before the Constellation blew up. Second, Kirk was holding the communicator out and away from himself before his beaming, then it's close to his face as he materializes. (00:47:05)
Continuity mistake: Decker is leaning over the forward console between Sulu and the other man, with Spock at his left elbow. As he gives the order to veer off, he starts to turn to his right. As the angle changes, it appears that he was standing straight up the whole time.
Visible crew/equipment: On the Constellation, the camera is looking at the man helping Kirk to get the secondary view screen working. As the camera goes to pull back to allow Kirk into the shot, you can see the shadows of the camera shades on the wall. (00:25:00)
Revealing mistake: While Kirk watches, the machine fires at the Enterprise. As Spock is knocked backwards, watch his hands as he goes forward. They automatically go into a certain, almost practiced position. Then a moment later, the Communications officer is reporting to Spock. As she does, another shot hits the ship. She and just about all the crew react to the jolt a second before the camera and lighting crews simulate the hit. (00:26:40)
Revealing mistake: Accounting for some effects being re-done by modern digital formatting, when the Enterprise approaches the drifting Constellation, as it rotates, you can see a star pass through the solid part of the Constellation's saucer.
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Other mistake: When preparing to go around again, Sulu and Checkov start working their controls. When there is a close up of Sulu's hand, it's obviously a re-used shot of Kirk's hand starting the 30 second count down timer on the Constellation in "The Doomsday Machine" (S2 E6).
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Revealing mistake: After Kirk shuts down the self destruct, he asks Spock if the ship is heading for Arianas. At one point in the dialog, you can see the display for the self destruct sequence is still on the screen, just not lit up.
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - S3-E15
Revealing mistake: When the camera is close up on Beal's face, you can see a bit of real flesh color where the black and the white greasepaint used didn't quite match up.
Revealing mistake: In the tent after Kirk and friends give up their weapons, there is a small fire in the holder in the center of the room. Although the flames are slightly off center to the camera's left, the are projections of flame light from off the camera's right offscreen.
Revealing mistake: When the delegation of locals approach Kirk's party, the Red-shirt yells "KLINGON!" and goes to fire. As he moves, you can see the outline of the block the alien weapon will stick in.
Answer: After causing Norman to overload, all of the other androids shut down. The same could be said for the androids on the Enterprise.
