Mistake Revealing: "Stop When Red Lights Flash": In the cell with Kate, Weston puts on his mask, making only his head visible. But the blue-screen matte used for this special effect is, weirdly, showing through his blue eyes.

Mistake Plot hole: "Sight Unseen": Wells has the key to Lori's shackles. Weston, who knows this, knocks Wells out, but instead of taking his keys, uses a completely unnecessary (and considerably more difficult) set of bolt cutters to break the leg cuffs.

Mistake Revealing: "Man of Influence": Weston sends the big black Lincoln Continental over a cliff. It's still a Lincoln on the way down, but then stock footage cuts in as it explodes, and it's suddenly a completely different car.

Mistake Continuity: "Man of Influence": The invisible Weston follows Geed into the parlor. When the door closes, there's no key in the lock. Then the shot cuts to a close-up of the door, and a key has appeared there, just in time for Weston to turn and lock it.

Mistake Continuity: Pilot: When the invisible Weston is cleaning his wounded arm, the gauze stays completely clean until after he tosses it on the table - then it's suddenly stained with blood.

Mistake Continuity: "Stop When Red Lights Flash": The invisible Weston spies on A.J. and Charlie as they open the safe, observes the combination, and then waits until they leave to open the safe himself. But the combination he dials isn't the same one they just used.

Mistake Continuity: "The Klae Resource": Weston socks Fielder in the stomach and then in the jaw. He falls on the plush carpet, and doesn't hit his head when he goes down, yet he's rubbing the back of his head when he comes to, and not his jaw or stomach.

Mistake Continuity: Pilot: Weston restores his "visibility" with gloves, a mask and special contact lenses. But when he removes the mask in the back of the van, the eyes are visibly part of the mask itself (with no eye holes), and not separate lenses.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: "Go Directly to Jail": When the prison bus passes by, the entire camera crew and several studio reflectors and lights are mirrored in its shiny surface.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: "Go Directly to Jail": While the warden is threatening James Smith, the boom shadow moves across the wall behind them.

Mistake Continuity: Pilot: Walter signs his name on Weston's work order. But when the shot cuts away from him and then back, he's finishing the same signature that he just finished in the previous shot.

Mistake Continuity: "Stop When Red Lights Flash": In the opening scenes, Weston's rear view mirror is present in exterior shots of the car, but missing in all the interior shots.
