Brotherhood - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: Nate is sunbathing and a white screen from lighting equipment is reflected on his sunglasses. When the shot changes to show what's in front of him, the screen is not visible.

Someone Else's Eyes - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Nate drives his motorcycle out to the cliff overlooking the beach, we see him get off his bike wearing his helmet and glasses. He strides along and then before stopping takes off his helmet and not his glasses. In the very next shot he is squatting down and his glasses are gone, but he made no attempt to take them off and there wasn't enough time in between shots to do so.

Driving Mr. Mossback - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Keith picks up his sleeping niece, the shot from behind him shows her hand on his shoulder, near the side of his neck. When the shot changes to face him, Taylor's arm is wrapped behind his neck, her hand out of view.

In Place of Anger - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: After dinner when Ruth and Nikoli are in the kitchen, Nikoli is drinking vodka; the bottle is on the table next to him. In one shot he is holding his glass and the view suddenly cuts to Ruth but we can still see the table and the bottle; his glass is now next to the bottle. There was no time for him to put it there in between the shots.

An Open Book - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Claire is lying on her bed studying, in the long shot we see an open ring binder and open book on the bed in front of her a few inches apart. The shot cuts to a close up and the book is now on top of the binder.

Crossroads - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: During the hiking trip when Parker is about to lead the group, Claire's water-bottle disappears then reappears from her hand as she's adjusting her backpack.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Right at the end when Nate is looking at people passing by on the street, his facial hair is thicker in some shots than in others. This is because they had some reshoots, as explained by Alan Ball in the commentary.

An Open Book - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During the scene where the four women are eating KFC, Hannah has her hands by her mouth and is not holding any food. The shot cuts, and her hands are suddenly much lower, and she has a piece of chicken in each hand.

An Open Book - S1-E5

Brenda: The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid living today.

Season 4 generally

Trivia: In the promos for season 4 you see the characters shopping in a small grocery store to the song "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. This is a tribute to a scene in the movie "Point of No Return" where Bridgette Fonda's character does the same thing.

Show generally

Question: At the end of the last ever episode, when Claire is taking the family photo, Nate whispers in her ear 'You can't take a picture unless it's already gone.' What does he mean by that?

Answer: Nate actually say "You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone." It's kinda hard to explain, but he's referring to the fact that the moment Claire wants to take a picture of is over already, and she can't take a photo of it, just a different, lesser moment.
