Show generally

Revealing mistake: Judging by the interface, the video of Jenna and Toby sleeping together is played through Windows Media Player. When this program is playing a video, the big blue "Play" icon becomes a "Pause" icon. But whenever the video of Jenna and Toby is playing, the "Play" icon is still showing. It's obviously not an actual video being played.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When Jason first appears in the show he is played by Parker Bagley and is portrayed as a proper, motivated and well held, wide structured man, but disappears for a season or so, and is replaced by Drew Van Acker, and is now portrayed as a paranoid druggie, with mental health issues, and a lanky skinny structure.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Aria's dad drops her off at school, the camera angle out the passenger window shows her wearing blue jeans. Once she's out, the camera angle changes and she's wearing black Levis.

Careful What U Wish 4 - S1-E14

Other mistake: During the scene after the fund raising dance when Lucas offers to take Hanna home, she calls him Ian when she says that she is going home with Emily and Spencer. Even if she says "I kind of promised them", the subtitles say Ian.

A Person of Interest - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: On the video of Ian supposedly killing Alison, we see her arm fall to the ground with her "Alison" bracelet visible. But in a later scene where Emily watches Ian put his bag in the athletics room, we cut back to the video and Alison's arm suddenly has a sleeve covering up her bracelet. When we see the video again later in the series, her bracelet is visible again.

A Person of Interest - S1-E19

Factual error: Emily is supposed to meet Paige at a karaoke bar at the intersection of 202 and W. Chester Pike, however this intersection is actually an overpass. 202 crosses over top of West Chester Pike, but never actually intersects it.

Picture This - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Hanna and Caleb are sitting on the swings in the park, the first part of the scene shows nothing in Caleb's lap. However, when it cuts to them holding hands, a pizza box appears. (00:29:10)

Touched by an 'A'-ngel - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode, Emily receives a phone call from Dr. Sullivan which she does not answer. Look at her phone when she hangs up: Not only does she simply press the "hang up" icon when the arrow indicates she needs to slide it to the left, there is also a magnifying glass symbol at the bottom indicating that it is in fact an image file on the screen and not an actual phone call.

I Must Confess - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Mrs Sullivan circles "nosey bitches" on a paper (someone's file) and the circle is overlapped at the bottom. When the camera moves out the circle changes and is disconnected from the top instead.

Cat's Cradle - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Hannah is on the phone to Emily, Hannah pours a glass of fizzy drink (coke or whatever) and is about to drink from the glass, in the next shot she takes the can and walks away and the glass isn't seen again.

Grave New World - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When Emily and Aria are contemplating climbing out of the window and down the trellis to get help, they hear Alison scream and the broken window slams down completely; the shot briefly changes then the window is shown half-way up.

Ace Kiana

Shadow Play - S4-E19

Other mistake: When Ezra takes Spencer's file from the school he takes it from section A-E. Neither of Spencer's names fit into that category.
