Goof--When Kirk escapes from Krako, he strings a wire across a doorway to trip up two thugs. Once he incapacitates them, he runs out the same doorway without jumping over where the wire should be.

Trivia--Kirk and Spock "borrow" an old-fashioned Earth-style car (which Spock even refers to as a "flivver"). This is the only time in Star Trek: The Original Series that any character is depicted using ground transportation.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
