10 TV Shows That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Supposed To See
6. There's A Random Newspaper Lying Around On The Enterprise (Star Trek)
Star Trek is supposed to be hyper-futuristic, with technology that's lightyears ahead of the stuff we have in the present day - which is why this moment in the original 1960s series stands out as being particularly unusual.
In the season three episode The Lights Of Zetar, there's a scene at the 48:00 mark where Spock, McCoy, and Kirk are speaking about the events of the story, and through the open doorway behind them, clear as day, is a discarded newspaper just lying on the floor.
Now sure, we have seen newspapers in Star Trek on other occasions, but this isn't one that was supposed to be in the shot. Apparently, in this case, one of the crew members accidentally left it behind, resulting in this small moment of carelessness making its way onto the screen.
Not content with its initial cameo, the newspaper also returns at the 49:00 mark, delivering an incredibly memorable performance in just a few seconds of screen time.
