Supergirl

Supergirl Lives - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: As they are fleeing the alien base, Supergirl and the others run towards the portal, Winn activates it and jumps through. In a following shot (after a 'friendly' alien helps them), he is standing behind Supergirl again. (00:32:00 - 00:32:35)

Far from the Tree - S3-E3

Other mistake: During an argument, Maggie's father mentions the border wall being built to keep people from entering the country illegally. This is obviously a reference to the real-life presidency of Donald Trump, but within the show's continuity, his comment doesn't make sense: in "Resist", the penultimate episode of season two, it's revealed that President Olivia Marsdin is literally an alien from outer space, and earlier in the season in "Welcome to Earth", she signed an executive order offering aliens such as herself full citizenship if they so desired it. If she's that tolerant of extraterrestrials, it seems unlikely that she'd be so intolerant of foreign immigrants as to resort to such an extreme action in foreign policy like building a wall on the border.

Alex - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Rick Malverne has handcuffs on when J'onn goes in as his dad. When he figures out it was J'onn, he tells them they have "23 hours and 14 minutes," looks at his watch and the cuffs are gone. (00:21:30 - 00:25:00)

American Alien - S4-E1

Character mistake: President Marsdin says that Camp David was named by President Eisenhower in honor of his son and grandson. It was actually named for his father and his grandson; his sons were named John and Doud.

Manhunter - S1-E17

Factual error: The Marine Colonel in Supergirl played by Eddie McClintock spends all of his time wearing Marine Officer's Dress Blue Bravos. Marine Dress Blues are ceremonial uniforms. On rare occasions, the Charlies or Deltas (no coat) may be worn as a work uniforms (the primary exception to this rareness being recruiters). The full uniform is certainly not worn for day to day work in the field.

Livewire - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Livewire has part of her hair over the front of her right shoulder. A shot later after discovering her powers suddenly her hair's over the front of both shoulders.

Reality Bytes - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: Kara and William review the article William has written about hate crimes against the transgender community. The article text is shown, and it states that Yvette's attacker, Gregory Bauer, was arrested. But Gregory is not identified and arrested until Dreamer confronts him that night.

Medusa - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Maggie comes to Alex's apartment with pizza. When Alex opens and closes the pizza box, she folds the pizza box edges in and 3 shots later the edges are outside of the box.

Suspicious Minds - S4-E10

Other mistake: J'onn J'onzz starts a private Investigation company. He is shown looking at the new PI license he just placed on the wall. But the certificate says it is a renewal. (00:05:30)

Battles Lost and Won - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: The sketch that Brainy shows to Winn is meant to be his original sketch that he drew in the previous episode, hence why Winn is so shocked he's somehow got it. But it's slightly different from what we actually saw him draw at the time.

Midvale - S3-E6

Kara: So, J'onn says to head straight back to the DEO, and if we scratch his car, he'll put us in containment.
Alex: Well, you'd better let me drive, then.
Kara: Why? I'm a great driver.
Alex: You almost killed us twice coming up here.
Kara: That possum came from nowhere.

Show generally

Question: Does Kat ever wise up again to Kara's secret? That and why did she (Flockhart) leave the show only to come back?

Rob245

Answer: Yes, s02e22. As Kara leaves her office, she said "go get them, Supergirl" to herself. After season 1, the show switched from a CBS production to a CW production and filming moved from L.A. to Vancouver. Flockhart isn't really a fan of traveling to shoot, and didn't want to be away from her family for so long.
