"Day of the Dove" blooper

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I was watching Day of the Dove today, and noticed a C-stand (probably holding a reflector or a flag) at screen left in this shot . Ooops.
 
That's a tranverse flux generator for re-calibrating the inverse phase harmonics of the warp particles--a little 24th century tech placed there by GR as an easter egg for future fans.

It does resemble a C-stand, though, so don't feel bad.
 
Sorry, but as GR wasn't working on the show in the 3rd season, you are WRONG. Bzzzzt ;)
 
If he could risk everything to enlighten the world with the IDIC medallion, he could implore Fast Freddy to send a trans-temporal shout-out to Voyager fans.

Don't blaspheme the Great Bird. :mad:

Worse yet, in subsequent shots, the corridor is depicted as having at least a partial ceiling! :eek: :lol:
 
That's not the worst blooper from Day of the Dove. Check out how this plasma conduit becomes a planter for one shot:

Don't you mean vice versa? That is, the auto-stowable planter for a moment pivots down on its arm to receive the plant that the internal sensors have detected in the vicinity (only it's that redshirt's brain they pick up rather than a real cabbage), then pivots back up when no longer needed.

Partial ceiling? What does that mean? All the corridors would seem to have ceilings in all the shots (even though they don't "really" have any, except in this special "DotD" shot), thanks to those transverse beams that so conveniently obscure our view.

It's the piece of advanced 23rd century plywood holding up the plasma conduit that gets a laugh from me.

I never noticed the C-stand before. Good eye.

I thought you were going to talk about the part where Kang squeezes Kirk's ass.


Help me. I can't stop myself now . . .
 
"Mirror, Mirror" has some amusing bloopers like this. When Kirk contacts the ship to beam up at the beginning, he clearly closes his communicator and places it on his belt. But when the team briefly materializes in the correct transporter, Kirk is holding his communicator as though it's still in use - an impossibility in mid-transport. Then it's back on his belt in the MU.

Later when Mirror Chekov is in the turbolift with Kirk, his sash disappears. It's back when Kirk steps off into the ambush.

Yeah, that one is hilarious. I remember it from my school youth when I first started paying attention to a lot of TREK continuity. :lol: It's so damn obvious you'd think someone would have noticed in editing.
 
My favorite blooper comes from this ep. As Kang's men come out of engineering, a crewman beside the door hits a Klingon on the elbow with his phaser, and he's knocked out cold and falls to the floor!!!

If so... ;) (*winks*), then Tom Paris in "Ex Post Facto(VOY)" was wrong about humans having ditched smoking tobacco products "centuries ago." Nitpick-win'd!
