Rampage - S4-E24

Other mistake: During the scene (towards the end of the episode) when Horatio's young wife Marisol dies, there are two worthy mentions. First is when we see Horatio walk into Marisol's room, there is a doctor present but the two do not speak. Horatio speaks to Marisol at the side of her bed and they joke about their supposed date later that night, and her speech seems fine. A few seconds later while holding her hand, we hear the "flat line" and Marisol passes away. About two seconds after we hear the flat line, the camera angle shows Marisol still turned toward Horatio, her chest still moving to breathe. A split second after that though, the camera angle now shows Marisol face up in the bed, presumably dead. Second issue and perhaps most importantly - Marisol was young, and a gunshot victim who had been in stable condition just the day before. Even if her condition had turned more critical, it seems almost impossible that as soon as she flat lined, there still would not have been immediate resuscitation attempts or calls for a resuscitation team, especially with a doctor who was already in the room.

Kim Possible picture

Kimitation Nation - S1-E16

Other mistake: In the scene where Drakken accidentally "clones" Bonnie Rockwaller instead of Kim Possible, he holds up a picture of Kim to compare the results of his experiment with the real thing. The Bonnie clone, completely encapsulated behind the glass of Drakken's cloning machine (as evidenced by the reflection of light off of it) somehow manages to get a hold of the picture despite this barrier. (She does this without having to break the glass.).

Maple Street - S1-E11

Other mistake: Slightly after the opening credits, Jack Malone is investigating the disappearance of Annie Miller and is standing in her mother's bedroom. He turns to Carol Miller's boyfriend and asks to "speak to Mrs. Malone alone." The subtitles correctly have 'Miller' written, but when Anthony LaPaglia says his line, the two words rhyme. (00:06:45)

The Message - S1-E15

Other mistake: The characters in this show often use the made-up curse words 'gorramn' and 'gorrammit.' Toward the end of this episode, just as Tracey grabs Kaylee as a hostage, he shouts, "Gorrammit, Mal." The subtitles read: "You're a rabbit, Mal." (00:35:50)

The Great Egg Heist/The Feud - S2-E9

Other mistake: In the Great Egg Heist, when they arrive at the museum, Jimmy gives everyone shishkabob-shaped earplugs for Libby's scream. But in the next shot, if you look at everyone's ears, there are no earplugs. Also, in the next shot, next to Libby you can see Carl putting his hands over his ears. This is impossible because the pointy ends of the earplugs would stab Carl's hands.

That's So Raven picture

Out of Control - S2-E1

Other mistake: Eddie and Chelsea begin sharing notes in class. After Raven has picked it out of the trash, she reads what Eddie and Chelsea have put. Chelsea says, "Can't wait", but how could she? Eddie threw the note and it didn't reach her, just the floor, so Chelsea never read it nor make a reply.

Zion - S2-E12

Other mistake: In one of the final scenes, Bruce is talking to his father and everyone in the church is "frozen" in a vision. Watch carefully and you can see some people moving slightly.

The Wire picture

Misgivings - S4-E10

Other mistake: When Chris and Snoop go to kill Bug's dad, they have their high powered nail gun once again, even after previously throwing it in the marsh with the guns. Bought a new one? Not likely as the reason for throwing it away in the first place was because the cop saw it. Buying an identical one would defeat the purpose of ditching it. (00:55:50)

Top Gear picture

Polar Special - S9-E8

Other mistake: When Mattie first gets her kite out, Richard says that they are in the same fjord where Jeremy and James went through the ice. If so, the scenery has changed remarkably in a couple of days. All the blue ice is gone and so are the cliffs, which prevented Jeremy and James driving out. He can't have taken a different route as the fjord is only a mile wide.

Episode #8.8 - S8-E8

Other mistake: Tariq has been tasked with finding hotel guests who share their surnames with American presidents. His computer screen is shown with the search in progress. The surname "Bush" appears twice (two presidents, but only one surname), and the counts for the two entries are different. In addition, the name "Truman" is misspelled as "Trueman." (00:28:15)

Opposites Attract: Night of the Locust (3) - S2-E15

Other mistake: The filming of the spycam at the dance doesn't make sense. Grandpa and Judy are roughly the same height. The spycam was placed in his shirt pocket. Yet, when he looks over at her, her head is right in the middle of the shot, when in reality it would have been much higher up, and likely out of frame.

Sport - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Kath is taking Kim down to train for netball, she gives her a drink bottle and tells her to keep her fluids up. Kim takes a sip, but look at the bottle, there's nothing in it.
