When the Romulans attack Outpost 4 a second time the outpost is sending Enterprise its sensor readings. However the screen switches back to the interior of the outpost, then back to show the ship
disappearing even though the outpost is being destroyed at the same time. |

At the beginning of the episode, Kirk says "Since the days of wooden vessels, shipmasters have had one happy privilege--that of uniting two people in the bonds of matrimony." According to "The Straight Dope" columnist Cecil Adams,
this is a commonly-held fallacy and sea captains in the British, Soviet, and American navies have never held such powers. |

Whenever Kirk orders the crew to fire phasers; the exterior shots show the ship firing torpedoes, and torpedo explosions flashing out in space. |

When Spock is running to phaser control, the red alert panels aren't flashing despite the red alert noise blaring away. |
