Where No Man Has Gone Before - S1-E4

Trivia: This was the second pilot for the series, the first pilot being done with Jeffrey Hunter as Capt. Christopher Pike. This is also the first episode that has William Shatner as the famous Capt. James T. Kirk. The episode was made at the request of Lucille Ball, part owner of Desilu Studios, and friend to Gene Roddenberry, because she believed in the franchise.

Movie Nut

Trivia: Throughout the series, planets are given a Class rating, most commonly "Class M", suitable for humans. The M is never defined in this series, or TNG, but in Star Trek: Enterprise, S1: E3 "Strange New World", T'Pol says the new planet is "Minshara Class", meaning suitable for humans. Therefore, the classifications for planets used by the Federation were probably determined by the Vulcans.

Mistakes

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.

Questions

The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11

Question: At the beginning, Mr Sulu calls for Captain Kirk to report to the bridge, but Kirk in sick bay does not get that message. Why?

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.
