Continuity mistake: After he raids the candy box in the parlor, Sigerson's face is smeared with chocolate. The stains change noticeably from shot to shot as the scene progresses. The smears on his chin vanish altogether, although he hasn't wiped his face. (00:49:40)

The War Lord - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: In the closing scene aboard the raft, we see Kelly with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. One shot later, the cigarette is not only lit, it's half gone. (00:44:30)

How the Tess Was Won - August 5, 1956 - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Though he's leaped into someone else, we always see Sam as Sam, dressed in all the host's clothes (including glasses or sunglasses). His host is revealed only in reflections. But here, when he looks at his host-self in the mirror, the hat and clothes are all identical - except that the reflection is wearing glasses, and Sam isn't. (00:43:00)

Genesis (2) - September 13, 1956 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Sam ejects from the X-2 and parachutes to safety, he lands on the desert floor and the chute comes down on top of him, covering him completely. In the very next shot, we see him lying face up and the parachute has entirely disappeared.

Repentance - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The memorabilia dealer shows Stone slides of escaped Nazi war criminals. There's a page of text projected on the screen, which Stone asks the man to translate. While they talk, the image on the screen changes to a picture between takes, even though we can see that the projector's carousel tray hasn't moved. (00:17:45)

The Time of the Knife - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: After she's been roughed up by the bad guy, Jean's hair is a mess. But while she's talking to Scott and Kelly, her hairdo repairs itself between takes, becoming neatly combed, sprayed and coiffed again. (00:26:15)

Mr. Monk and the Three Pies - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Van Rankin takes the borrowed flour from his kitchen counter and hands it to Sharona, it's in a standard paper flour sack, and the counter is clean. Later, there's flour dust on the counter and the impression of a large, round flour tin - like the one in Monk's kitchen - instead of an imprint of the paper sack. (00:37:20)

Continuity mistake: When Ray first arrives at Devil's Tower and stops the station wagon, the broken fence post resting on the hood changes positions between shots. In the view of him through the wind shield, the post is lying straight, parallel to the length of the wagon. In the next shot, it is suddenly at an angle, even though the car hasn't moved. (01:21:30)
