When Fry and Bender run into the head museum, they're greeted by Leonard Nimoy. Fry refers to him as Spock, which he chuckles to. Yet in a later episode (4-12 "Where No Fan Has Gone Before"), Nimoy denies the name Spock due to Star Trek being forbidden on Earth. [He admits to knowing the name in private, but won't do so in public - he'd be admitting to a crime.]
When Fry is walking down the street after escaping from the cryogenics place, a billboard changes from "the Implant Hut" to "Bachelor Chow" but the piece with the 'm' doesn't change. [That's the billboard malfunctioning, not a mistake on the show's part.]
When Fry and Bender are in the Suicide Booth together, Fry understandably dodges the cutting implements that the booth attacks with. However, Bender did actually want to die, so why would Bender dodge them too? [Bender wanted to die, but not in a long and painful manner. Given the choices, dodging seemed like a good idea.]
In the third tale of interest, with Stephen Hawking, after Fry doesn't go into the cryogenic tube, Bender, Leela and the Professor all appear, side by side. However, until Fry goes into the future, none of these knew each other (Bender was about to kill himself, Leela was happy working at the cryogenics lab and the professor had just lost his crew), so why would they be together? [The 'Tales of Interest' are fantasies, which are shown not even to have happened in the first place - they are fantasies in the Professor's fantasy.]
It is revealed in a later episode that Leela wears a bracelet under he her wrist device. She isn't wearing it when the device escapes her wrist, although the bracelet is the only thing she has of her "true identity". [You have provided your own correction. 'In a later episode ...' Perhaps the significance of the bracelet (the link to her childhood) wasn't apparent until some future event (which we don't see) and she had it in her jewellery box, pocket, bank vault, whatever, until that point?]
When the Professor and Mom's clothes are thrown around the bedroom, their teeth are in jars next to the bed (they are definitely theirs as they comment on it on the DVD commentary.) The problem with this is that both of them are "wearing" their teeth, as can be seen when they talk. [Like most people, they have two (or more) pair of dentures - one is being cleaned, one is in use. Nothing unusual about that.]
When Bender shows everyone the card he got for Mom, he opens it and you can hear a melody play before the card says, "I love my mommy". Later, when Fry and Leela are leaving the robot museum, Leela reminds Bender to tell Mom that he loves her. Bender tells her that anyone can say that and that he has something else in store. Bender opens up the card, but this time you don't hear any melody being played. You only hear the card saying, "I love my mommy." [Later in the episode you find out that the card is a robot with a mind of its own so it probably didn't want to play the melody.]
Leela licks each of her four fingers only once but the sound of licking a finger plays five times. [She licks her thumb twice.]
When Luur announces that they will eat 'the first earthling' who ate one of their young, he announces that it was Leela. Leela isn't an earthling. [Yes she is. It is revealed in season 4 that she is in fact a mutant and therefore technically an earthling. She didn't know it at the time, but it had been hinted at in previous episodes.]

This has to be done in slow-motion to actually notice. When Morgan and Hermes first meet they give each other a paper to stamp. It's already been established that a bureaucrat stamps forms five times, but, if you watch the scene in slow-motion, when Hermes gives Morgan a form to stamp and Morgan gives Hermes a form to stamp, Hermes stamps the form he was given 3 times and Morgan stamps the form she was given 2 times. Then when Hermes gives Morgan back her own form and Morgan gives Hermes his own form, Hermes stamps his own form twice and Morgan stamps her own form once. They both should have stamped both forms five times. [The rules of this site are quite clear - if you have to use slow motion or freeze frame to spot a mistake, it is not valid.]
The four other castles are really close to each other so why do Alcazar's other wives not know what he was doing? They can't have missed seeing him go into one of the other ones. [He's a shapeshifter, but none of his wives knows that until the wedding ceremony with Leila. Before that when they see him going into another castle they see him in another form, and they don't know it's him.]
After everyone finds out that Alkazar is really a shapeshifter, Leela makes a comment about him having a small you-know-what. At that point it shows everyone at the wedding "Whooing", and Fry does it about 1 or 2 seconds after everyone stops. However, his mouth doesn't move when this happens. [Fry's mouth doesn't move because it's the professor going longer than everyone else, and the animation of the professor matches.]
Master Ffnog could not have possibly put on that full body suit and connected it up to the TV in the time that elapsed from when he talked to Leela to when the bell rang to start the battle. [The robot probably has some basic AI of its own, enough certainly to walk into the ring and punch Bender, giving Fnog time to get into the suit and control him for a real show of pummeling and skill.]

Bender is surprised to know that the Ultimate Robot Fighting League is the most brutal form of fighting in the universe, yet at the beginning of the episode he claims that he loves "The Masked Unit", a well known fighter in the U.R.F.L, so how could he not know something like how dangerous a sport that he loves is? [Even though he knew it was fairly dangerous, he obviously didn't know it was the MOST dangerous form of fighting in the UNIVERSE.]
When Fry and Zoidberg are fighting in the ceremonial tradition of Crawplah. Bender asks Fry to go down in the 9th round. If he wanted Fry to survive that long, then, why was he trying to blind him with the suns rays to give him a disadvantage at the very start of the fight? [He thought Fry would win (thus asking him to take a dive), so he was trying to keep Zoidberg alive as long as possible.]

Professor Farnsworth says pine trees have been extinct for 800 years, yet they are shown in at least 3 previous scenes. [Those are fake pine trees. They fold down to be easier for skiers.]
When Fry and the others are talking about "Xmas" trees, they tell him that pine trees died out a long time ago. But, how can they say that when they were skiing around them, and over them, throughout the first scene? [They're artificial. Remember how they fold up so Fry and Leela ski over them?]

When Nixon tries to go to the phone to call the police, he moves to the armrest. But when Bender plays his tape, Nixon moves back onto the seat. [Because of the angle it looks like he is sitting on the seat, but you can see he still is sitting on the armrest.]

How could Zapp and Kif get fired from their jobs if they theoretically, along with everyone else, have a PERMANENT career chip planted in them? [They are chips that assign you to your permanent career, not permanent chips that assign you to a career. Leela demonstrates that the chips can be removed when required - such as when someone is dismissed from their jobs.]
Bender didn't get affected by the magnet on the can opener. Normally he gets crazy and sings show tunes. [Magnets on his head only affect his inhibition, thus allowing him to sing showtunes; they don't automatically make him sing. The can opener opening his head was probably significant shock to distract him from singing.]
