Star Trek

Tomorrow is Yesterday - S1-E20

Stupidity: The Enterprise is very concerned about John Christopher going back to earth and changing history, but at the same time he has free access to go anywhere in the ship, and all his questions are being answered.

The Enemy Within - S1-E6

Stupidity: When Sulu and the others were freezing on the planet's surface, a transporter malfunction interfered with their rescue. Kirk, Spock, etc., did not consider using the Enterprise's shuttle which could have flown to the planet's surface and rescued Sulu and the away crew. (00:30:00 - 00:35:00)

Space Seed - S1-E23

Stupidity: In sick bay, Khan wants to read the Enterprise's technical manuals, explaining to Kirk he was once an engineer. Kirk acquiesces, saying they are available to ANY patient on the viewing screen. Apparently Captain Kirk does not seem to mind total strangers (this time with Napoleonic complexes) reading detailed documents outlining the strengths and weaknesses of a Federation starship.

Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5

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.

Capt. Kirk: Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Answer: Kirk was getting his physical and Dr. McCoy probably turned off communications, because if he hadn't, Kirk would have left and headed straight for the bridge, leaving McCoy irritated.
