Boy Meets World (1993)

A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11

Character mistake: When Cory is talking to Alan in the middle of the night, he mentions that Topanga has been staying with them for less than 8 hours. She arrived during the day time, and then convinced the family to go to Vermont to get a real Christmas tree, which they are cutting down at nighttime, and Eric later expressing after the new tree has been put up and decorated that it was 600 miles round-trip. All of this would take more than 8 hours. Driving from Philadelphia to the southernmost part of Vermont and back again alone would take more than 8 hours.

A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11

Other mistake: When Topanga knocks on Cory's door at 3:00 AM, he comes out and expresses that he's always asleep at this time of night. Despite this, he shows no signs of having just been awakened from his sleep. On the contrary, he appears very alert.

Boy Meets World (1993)

A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11

Factual error: This episode takes place near and on Christmas, but an establishing shot of the Matthews' house early in the episode shows the trees to still have very green leaves, and outdoor plants and the front lawn are still alive and healthy looking. None of this is possible in winter in Philadelphia.

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Doc Samson tackles the new Rick Jones-Hulk hybrid and knocks over the cylinder for the nutrient bath, Banner spills out, and you can see he is wearing shoes. A few moments later when Banner begins to run outside, he is suddenly barefoot. (00:19:44 - 00:20:10)

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Ross is threatening Banner with a gun, there is a shot that shows Banner frozen in place and the camera zooms out to show that the shot was reflected from the pupil of Ross' eye. Since it was a reflection, the flower on Banner's robe should have been on the viewer's left since the actual Banner has the flower on the viewer's right. (00:13:32)

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Banner re-engages Hulk in the desert after Hulk disposes of Talbot, the face guard for the exoskeleton armor Banner is using is missing, but then reappears when Banner launches the armor's right foot at the Hulk's backside. (00:07:38)

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Doc Samson first breaks through the floor of the vehicle that is transporting the Hulk, his arm is emerging next to the platform that Hulk is secured to. When the shot changes, Samson's entire body is coming through the hole, and the base of the platform is nowhere to be seen. (00:19:54)

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Doc Samson kicks through the cab wall of the vehicle that is transporting the Hulk, he leaves a hole roughly the size of his leg, and the appearance of the damage suggests he kicked through metal. A couple of shots later, the hole is large enough for a person to fit through, and the appearance of the damage suggests it is now broken glass. (00:19:56)

Other mistake: When Doc Samson attacks the convoy, he begins by bursting his hands out of the asphalt. This is pretty illogical, as for him to be able to wait for the convoy to reach him and then break his hands through the asphalt at the right moment would mean he would have to be inside the road itself, which means there would have to be a void between the layer of asphalt and the surface beneath it large enough for a person to fit inside, which would be a hazard, as the weight of cars passing over would eventually cause this section of the street to collapse.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Rick Jones comes to tell Betty that S.H.I.E.L.D. has taken the Hulk, he is standing by the door, and she is standing at the foot of Banner's bed. When the shot changes, they are both suddenly standing in front of a large window. (00:19:05)

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Stupidity: When the Leader's spy is reporting to him, he removes his human mask for the benefit of the audience. This is a pretty foolish thing to do considering he's in a top secret military base, where he can be seen by anyone that happens to be in the area, or potentially by security cameras.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Betty is trying to revive Bruce, a console explodes and a corridor is revealed that soldiers emerge from. It makes no sense for a heavy piece of machinery to be blocking the way into a corridor if blowing up the console is the only means of getting in or out.

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Betty is giving Bruce chest compressions, you can see armed soldiers standing in an empty doorway behind her. When the shot changes, a console explodes, revealing the same doorway that the soldiers are suddenly emerging from.
