UFO

Timelash - S1-E18

Other mistake: When Striker and Turner are fighting on the landing with the bookshelves, Turner's stunt-double is wearing his belt with the belt tip facing his left side, whereas the actor is wearing it the opposite way, with the tip facing his right. (00:37:50)

Super Grover

Court Martial - S1-E20

Other mistake: The doorway between Straker's office and Miss Ealand's office does not have the "gap" on the floor that separates the rooms, which allows Straker's office to descend. (00:40:50)

Super Grover

Court Martial - S1-E20

Other mistake: When Paul stands up for the verdict, he's told the date and time for execution, and in his extreme close-ups we can see the hairpiece mesh tape at his sideburn hairline. (00:02:25 - 00:28:10)

Super Grover

The Square Triangle - S1-E10

Other mistake: With the red alert at MoonBase, all three Interceptors are launched with their loaded missiles. Then, as the UFO gets closer, the Interceptors are within range, yet Straker orders them not to intercept. However, when the three Interceptor pilots are told to return to MoonBase, all three Interceptors are inexplicably missing their missiles. (00:03:25 - 00:05:35)

Super Grover

Conflict - S1-E4

Other mistake: Lunar Module 32 has number 4614 and more on its side; then it explodes upon re-entry to Earth. But later, when Paul takes up Lunar Module 29, it has the same numbers and markings as LM 32. (00:15:00 - 00:27:10)

Super Grover

Sub-Smash - S1-E8

Other mistake: When Paul is assisting Nina with the underwater breathing apparatus, in Paul's close-ups we can see bits of tape along his neck hairline, for his hairpiece. (00:27:25)

Super Grover

The Psychobombs - S1-E12

Plot hole: The alien-possessed Mason steals Captain Lauritzen's fingerprints by pressing his fingertips to the captain's and "heat transferring" the prints. Big problems here: those prints would now be backwards and for the wrong hand. But when the computer later reads the prints, it fails to notice this and passes him through security as "Identity Correct." (00:23:30)
