MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Towards the end of the scene where Kirk and McCoy discuss Miranda, Kirk finishes his drink swallowing the very last drop. The next cut then shows the cup is still quarter full without sufficient time for a re-fill.
FAKE: Close-up of Kirk is mirrored after Miranda says "It seems I have no choice but to obey you."
CONT: In the very last scene, Spock places the visor over his eyes to protect himself from the Ambassador when initiating transport. Kirk should have vacated the room, however he is still in the room thus risking himself to insanity (as shown by him walking out after the transport is complete).
FAKE: When the welcoming party sits down to chit chat, the wide shot show the waitresses at the table in place waiting for their cue.

TRIVIA

Commander Trip Tucker (Connor Trinneer of "Enterprise") designed the Constitution-class Enterprise warp engines that Doctor Larry Marvick (David Frankham) commandeers from Scotty.
