MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: The shot of Kirk, Spock and McCoy's reflections in the water is not mirrored; their "arrowhead" insignia are still on their left when they should appear to be on their right.
CONT: For one shot, Markel and Bryce's "arrowhead" insignia are on the right side of their uniforms instead of the left.

TRIVIA

Hard-core Star Trek fans are quick to point out that Markel and Bryce - not Enterprise crew - shouldn't be wearing the "arrowhead" Enterprise insignia. However, since the Star Trek movies and later TV series show all of Starfleet using the symbol, some fans postulate that perhaps its use indicates it had already been adapted as the universal Starfleet emblem. (Of course, since the animated series is not considered "canon", it's a fairly pointless argument anyway.)
