[net.startrek] Space Seed inconsistency

Ahh, the joys of video tape....

In space seed when Kirk et al are reviving Khan,  the phasor does indeed
fall off Kirk's belt.  Shatner doesn't seem too interested until the end of
the scene, but Kelley is beside himslef with worry about it.  He takes at
least 4 glances down at the phasor but none off-stage.  When he's supposed 
to squat down to look at Khan, he pushes the phasor aside and then moves 
into his correct position kneeling on one knee looking at Khan.  At this 
time Shatner takes a long look over to stage right and has this do-we-cut-
this-scene-or-what look on his face and then turns to Kelley with the
same look.  If someone cracked up this would have made the blooper reel!

This looks more like a mistake than an inconsistancy because we do not see
the phasor back on Kirk's belt in this scene.  (It fades out and the next 
scene is aboard the Enterprise.)
