Hey, I never noticed that before....

Scotty is using some 1960’s era blue and yellow handled nut drivers to fix the Shuttlecraft impulse drive.

Cool. I own space tools!
 
So in "Mirror, Mirror", there's a scene with evil* Spock, Kirk, and behind Spock is... another Vulcan, complete with ears and eyebrows...
Which makes sense, as Mirror Spock says that some of his operatives are Vulcans.

SULU: Correct. It's your play. I hope you succeed, because the order would fall on me next, and you know how Captain Kirk's enemies have a habit of... disappearing.

SPOCK: If I am successful, you see yourself a step nearer to the captaincy. I do not want to command the Enterprise, but if it should befall me, I suggest you remember that my operatives would avenge my death. And some of them... are Vulcans.
 
"Started out"? That would hardly be logical. Why would you beat swords into plowshares and vice versa when you can do both with the same instrument from the start?
 
In Space Seed, its said that 40 nations were seized by augments in 1993. However, Khan's reign was said to start in 1992. So he wasn't part of that group, already having assumed power. I think that opens up some interesting story possibilities.
 
Galileo Seven….

A creature throws its leather shield at Spock. It’s barely the size of Spock…

…then Spock kneels next to it and it’s enormous!

Nice catch!! I don't think it was necessarily an error, though . . . if they threw the shields as a matter of course they would probably be much smaller than their bodies. And of course smallish shields are/were a thing, as we see in this very show in "Bread and Circuses."

The size difference between the two shots could just be forced perspective.

“Whom Gods Destroy”

When Kirk and ‘Spock’ are headed towards the control room, they pass a missing floor tile (just visible in lower left corner area). I’m assuming the production crew just forgot that one…

Spock: Captain, while the crewman clearly didn't finish his assigned task of replacing the gravity plates. I do not feel phasering him was an appropriate response.

The Changeling

Frank Vinci does double duty. First he’s in a Science tunic on the bridge…

That shot right there really drives home how inefficient the railings on the bridge were (for the original series, anyway). Clearly they were made so that actors in the "pit" area could comfortably spread their arms upon them (for dramatic posing). But they were useless from a real life perspective, an outright "kneecapping" hazard for anybody standing upon the upper ring.

Beyond a purely cinematic aspect in the real world, I've often wondered what the "in universe" reason was for the "pit". True, it looks cool and a StarFleet bridge just seems "off" without it, but what's the function "in story"?
