Visible crew/equipment: After Uhura asks McCoy if she'll become like Chekov, McCoy reassures her about finding an antidote. Then, when it cuts to Engineering, there's an actor's black tape mark and a chalk T-mark visible on the floor. (00:38:10)

This Side of Paradise - S1-E25
Continuity mistake: When Kirk and Spock successfully activate a subsonic transmitter, it cuts to a closeup of a spade's metal blade breaking the soil ground, but in the next wide shot Sulu and DeSalle are using two spades made entirely of wood. (00:44:45)
30th Apr 2023
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: Kirk and the others are beamed down to the planet, and when the Enterprise crew are led into Mudd's throne room by two Alice androids (the Alice series are 500 identical androids) they are wearing the usual metallic, backless, kitten heel slip-ons, but in the next shot android Alice at the left is now wearing altogether different shoes - cream color with ankle-straps.

The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24
Visible crew/equipment: After M-5 fires on the other starships Daystrom speaks to M-5 about the murders, then when Kirk walks over to Daystrom and tells him the M-5 must be destroyed, the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible over Daystrom.

Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: While Flavius guides Kirk, Spock, and McCoy to the city to find Merik, the foursome stop behind a group of trees. In the first wide shot, as Flavius explains they'll wait until dark, there are no red marks on the tree trunks, but in their closeups there are a few red marks (presumably from squibs), before the gunfire has even occurred. At the start of the second wide shot the tree trunks are still void of those marks, and when the police shoot at them that's when the red marks appear. (00:15:15)

Star Trek (1966)
Visible crew/equipment: After Kirk tells the policeman that he wants to see Merikus and "perhaps" he's a friend, the policemen lock the cell then leave, and when it cuts to a view of the cell from the side as Spock walks over to the steel bars, the overhead boom mic is visible inside the cell, over Spock. It's visible again, with a better view, when McCoy walks over to Spock beside the bars. (00:18:15)
16th Dec 2019
Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: While Kirk, Spock, and McCoy attempt to escape, Merik contacts Enterprise with the stolen communicator and the Proconsul stabs him, then when Merik tosses the communicator it lands in front of Kirk's feet in a closeup. The problem is that in the closeup Kirk is wearing his black uniform pants, but during this scene Kirk is wearing the light colored slave pants. Also interesting to note, when the sword landed on the floor in front of Spock's feet, the Vulcan is wearing black lace-up flat footwear instead of his black uniform boots. (00:46:35)

Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Scotty, Kirk, and the others follow Spock's signal to the chamber with the Controller, they encounter Kara and she activates their pain bands. Spock's body has a pain band around his waist as the other men drop to the ground, but after McCoy tells Kirk, "Spock, no pain," the pain band is missing from Spock's body, then in the next shot it reappears when he goes after Kara's bracelet. (00:35:05)

Star Trek (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Kirk and his landing party beam down to the planet there are six shots of Morg, who have their right arms covered in fur in all those flipped shots, but when Morg attack the landing party it's their left arms covered in fur. Presumably, the first six shots were flipped for direction continuity. (00:13:15)

Revealing mistake: After Scotty finally locates Seven on the gantry while he's tampering with the rocket, it cuts to a quick shot of Kirk and Spock, then in the following shot of Roberta when she turns the vault's combination locks, the stunt wire is visible behind her as it moves up to turn the door's wheel handle. (00:35:25)

The Ultimate Computer - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: During the scene with the ore freighter, there are four closeups of Spock while he's bent over the scope at his station, and in the background behind Spock we can see Kirk and others on the bridge are gone. It also occurs in the earlier scene during the encounter with the two starships. (00:24:00)

Visible crew/equipment: After Melakon shoots at the curtained window and kills John Gill in the broadcast booth, Isak shoots Melakon, then when Eneg stops the soldier who points his gun at Isak, the shadow of the boom mic dips into view at the top, left side of the screen. (00:45:50)

Deliberate mistake: When Rojan asks Kelinda if she wishes to remain with Kirk, she replies that although Kirk is "most interesting" she wishes to go with him, and the next closeup of Rojan is flipped. (00:48:15)

Is There in Truth No Beauty? - S3-E5
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)
