Mistakes

Justin is a police officer. As a result, his actions at the end of the day the first time it plays through make no sense at all. His girlfriend tell him that she has shot Nicole, and that the crime will be pinned on him because she used his gun. But he knows that there will be no gunshot residue on his hands, and there will be on hers. He knows that his whereabouts were accounted for at the time of the murder, because he was at the diner in full sight of any number of people. He knows that there is not a single shred of evidence aside from the gun, which has his girlfriend's fingerprints all over it anyway. If he were to simply arrest her now, there's no way she wouldn't be the one to go down, rightly, for the crime. Instead, he decides to tamper with the corpse and shoot two bystanders, in order to protect his innocence. It makes no sense at all. See more...

Reunion (series 1)

Early in the episode, Tru says that one benefit of reliving days is that it can help her avoid wearing bad outfits. How, exactly? If she put it on in the first place, then she must have thought it looked good. Unless she expects someone to tell her anytime an outfit of hers is unattractive, reliving the day won't help. [Sometimes a woman puts an outfit on thinking it looks good. However, when they go out in public and by chance walk in front of a mirror or reflective window or even just looking down at yourself, you can start to not like the outfit anymore and wish you could change. (Personal experience here).]
Edit Corrected by Heather Singh
There's never any real explanation of why Bridget's father wants to keep her away from Jake. Bridget has already had the baby, so now she's going through parenthood alone, with very little money, and unable to go to a good school. If she were with Jake, or perhaps married to him, he could help support her financially, and she could even be entitled to his pension as a war hero. [The father hates Jake and only connects him to any negative effect the baby caused. It's not very reasonable, but being unreasonable is a part of his character.]
Edit

Morning After (series 1)

After Tru discovers Mark's corpse and goes back to the previous morning, she considers herself to be the prime suspect in the murder. But there is never any explanation of how she thinks she could possibly have done it without remembering. [She was a little drunk and couldn't remember everything.]
Edit
The second time the day happens, Tru moves the vase because she remembers that Sam knocked it over during the party. She foolishly moves it to the top of the television, a place where it could be knocked over just as easily. It turns out that she only did that so that Sam could wind up knocking it over anyway, causing Tru to realize that he did it out of anger and not clumsiness, and that he's the one who killed Mark. [But because he broke it in anger it only mattered that it was somewhere he had easy access to it, not its exact position. Her moving it to the TV is perfectly rational since she assume it was clumsiness and no one bumped into the TV on the first run through.]
Edit

Haunted (series 1)

Where was Paige's body found? That's the kind of information Marco usually gives when he brings in a body, but not this time. The only reason for him to not say anything about it in this episode is because it would have made the plot too simplistic. Tru thought Paige was killed in the experiment, in which case the corpse would most likely have been found in the condemned building. But since Paige was actually killed by her neighbor, it would have been found somewhere else. We also get no information about how the neighbor disposed of the body. If we and Tru had gotten that information, the action could have been resolved in all of ten minutes. [Both the guy of the experiment and her neighbour would surely try to hide the body somewhere, and for the plot it would make no difference where the corpse was found.]
Edit
When Tru doesn't show up for the blind date with Jeremy, he tried to pick up her best friend Lindsay by saying that she's "Too good to be Tru." Later, Lindsay says that he used the same pickup line on the waitress as he did on her. But the line about Tru wouldn't make sense to anybody else, so how could he have used it on the waitress? ["Too good to be true" makes sense to everyone, it's just 1% less clever without someone named Tru around.]
Edit
The first time the day happened, Paige's time of death is given as 4:31pm. If that's when she died, then Tru should have known right away that the death experiment wasn't what originally killed her, since Tru saved her from that around 2:30pm. [Tru may have thought that her intervention caused her to run the experiment early because she was upset. When You relive a day, you are likely to disrupt the timing of events.]
Edit

Past Tense (series 1)

Blake wrote an anonymous letter to John, telling him that was going to go to the police about the girl's death five years earlier. Aside from the fact that it makes little sense for him to warn John like that, why hasn't he then gone to the police in the intervening three weeks? Furthermore, why didn't he become extremely suspicious when John invited the five other men involved in the coverup to a bachelor party, when Blake knew that John knew that one of the guys was planning to take his story to the police? [Blake wrote the letter to John to try and get John to turn himself in, he never intended to go to the police himself. It made perfect sense to have those exact people at the party since they were all members of the wedding party, which is the typical guest list at a bachelor party.]
Edit
Tara the stripper steals the wallets of all five guys who originally died (and possibly of the survivor as well). However, it makes little sense for everyone's wallets to be in the suite's other room, evidently in their jackets. Most men carry their wallets in their pants pockets, especially in the presence of a stripper they'd likely want quick access to their cash. So they wouldn't leave them in their jackets in another room. [But this was a private stripper, so she gets paid with a check, they weren't expected to shove ones down her panties. Moving their wallets to their jackets makes perfect sense since, when receiving a lap dance, you would want nothing in your pockets to get in the way.]

Putting Out Fires (series 1)

How was Nick able to save the little girl while still dying himself? We know that when he saved the boy the first time the day happened, he became trapped when the floor below him collapsed, and he told the boy to go on without him. Tru told him about the floor the second time, so he and the boy made it out safely. Then Nick went back in for the girl, and all we know is that the girl was saved and he still died. There is no explanation of what happened to somehow kill him after he saved the girl. [The is no explanation given in the episode but there are plenty of possible explanations of how someone could die in a burning building without any protective gear.]
Edit
The second time Tru goes through the day, she says that the fire truck will be delayed by traffic (she saw the flooded fire hydrant the first time), and realizes that's why Nick had to go into the building without his equipment. But the fire truck is actually there by the time they get outside. [But the problem was that they weren't there by the time he had to go inside. When he gets out on the second day it is already past the time he got stuck on the first day, so there's no problem there. On the second day he rushes back in too stubborn to wait - the other firefighters will physically stop Tru but not one of their own.]
Edit
When Tru has lunch with Harrison the second time she goes through the day, she tells him that it will rain at three. This is information she presumably has from the first iteration of the day. Three o'clock passes without comment, and without rain. [We don't actually see three o'clock on either day. A short summer rain would leave no evidence after an hour or so, and wouldn't be worth discussing, especially with a building burning down at five o'clock.]
Edit
On the second walk through of the day, Tru describes the fire (which hasn't happened yet) to Davis. From this description, Davis (who, bear in mind, is the supervisor at a morgue and not a criminal forensics expert) is able to provide more accurate information about the fire and its cause than were the emergency workers who brought the bodies to the morgue the first day, several hours after the fire actually happened, by which time some actual police investigation had presumably occurred as well. [Davis is an MD and performs autopsies as part of his job, so would be very familiar with the forensics, the morgue is directly beneath the sheriff's office after all. The people bringing the bodies in are not emergency workers, they work directly for the morgue, and Marco stated earlier that he just picks up the bodies he doesn't solve crimes, so he wouldn't have gotten that much information from the police.]
Edit
The first time Tru goes through the day, there is a scene with her and Meredith unpacking glassware. The scene serves only to provide exposition about Tru's mother. But why are they unpacking glassware in a house that appears to be newly moved into? We haven't been told about anybody moving into a new house, and there's no reference to moving or the glassware before or after. It doesn't fit in properly at all. [Somebody moved, or bought new glassware, and we don't know who. This doesn't really seem like a mistake, just leaving out information that isn't really that important to the story.]
