Factual error: In all the episodes leading up to Howard and Bernadette's wedding, Howard was going into space to install a space toilet. But in this episode, Howard tells her they want his telescope, so he has to go.
Suggested correction:The space toilet was something Howard designed that NASA installed back in season 2. His mission to the ISS in season 5 was always about his telescope. In episode 5, "The Russian Rocket Reaction", Howard says NASA picked his team's design for the deep field space telescope that's going on the International Space Station in the spring.
Character mistake: In S5-15, Sheldon is asking his friends to take him to SuperCuts. But in this episode, he goes to Mr. D'Onofrio's barber shop where he says he's gone to since he moved to CA, and he said D'Onofrio had his "haircut records."
Continuity mistake: Midway through the movie, Cooper is said to be 124 years old while in the new galaxy, and at that time his daughter was still a young girl. Later, when he is back in our solar system and waiting for time to find an opening back to his daughter, who is now in her midlife years, he is awakened at the colony off Saturn, and he's told to take it easy because he's 124 years old but his daughter is a very elderly dying woman. Estimating her age at 90, Cooper should have aged a bit more.
Continuity mistake: Leonard and Leslie are rehearsing the violin and cello in the guys' living room, and when they leave the room to go to Leonard's room, Leonard's cello and stand are still in front of the comfy chair. When Sheldon gets home, the cello and stand are gone, and only Leslie's closed violin case is left on the sofa. And she picks it up and leaves with it. How did the violin get back in the case.
Stupidity: Even though Hermione reminds them that they must not be seen after freeing Buckbeak, they fly toward the castle, whooping and cheering because they're flying. Then, they land in the courtyard of the castle, have a conversation, and then Sirius flies off with Buckbeak. Not the behavior of trying to remain unseen and unheard.
Deliberate mistake: Leonard is on NPR on a Friday, and the guys don't talk about it until the following Monday at work. They spend so much time together, they surely would've discussed it sooner.
Character mistake: When Joan and Joe are first alone in their suite in Stockholm, Joe tells her he wasn't attracted to a woman. Joan says, "I could care less." There's no way a college-educated writer (married to a Nobel laureate in literature) would use that phrase. The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less."
Character mistake: When Leonard arrives at the Human Resources office, he tells the HR person that he's not used to being called into the Dean's office. He's not in the Dean's office, he's in HR.
Other mistake: Howard believes he's being followed by the government, when it's actually Leonard, Penny, and Beverly in their car. The shots from Howard's car show only Leonard's silhouette. The other two do not appear as silhouettes.
Factual error: Sheldon tells Alex that he's run a background check, including her medical records. There is no way he could obtain medical records without a HIPAA authorization signed by Alex herself. It's illegal.
Continuity mistake: Penny mentions that she knows lots of people who got married in Las Vegas. In episode 7/9, she discovers that her "fake" wedding to Zach in Vegas was real.
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the episode, Howard said the launch was on the Friday before his planned wedding. They decide to marry before he launches, and they say they only have two days. Then he tells the clerk at City Hall that he launches on that Sunday. Too many inconsistencies.
Character mistake: Throughout the show, Sheldon denounced his mother's religion and God. To the extreme. In this episode, he said, "More sense than God gave a mouse." He would never invoke God for any reason.
Character mistake: Sheldon says he drove for hours in a bus to meet Wil Wheaton. He meant he rode on a bus. Sheldon never would've made that semantic error.
Character mistake: Missy and Paige are stopped by a police officer "just outside Baton Rouge" But in Texas, the family is told they are outside Boca Raton.
Continuity mistake: Sheldon puts the bag of takeout into the lobby trash can and as he does so, the whole bag turns sideways. At the end of the scene, he takes the bag out of the can and it's upright without him turning it.
Factual error: Laura and Caroline are playing a word association game about beverages and Laura says "orange juice, " which wasn't used by Americans until the 1920s. Any earlier than that, oranges were a luxury not available to farmers in Minnesota.
Character mistake: Sheldon told Leonard at lunch that they were no longer friends, only roommates but later that day, he told start moved up to ninth place on his friends list because he dropped someone (can't remember who) off his friends list). In actuality, it would've bumped him up to eighth place because he kicked Leonard off the list.
Continuity mistake: Throughout the early episodes, shots of Sheldon's bathroom shows the door open and a rack of towels against the wall. Later episodes show that that area is actually where the sink and mirror are.
