Agents of SHIELD

The Asset - S1-E3

Audio problem: Coulson is talking to a cowboy who sold a piece of construction equipment to some bad people. The cowboy pulls a breach-loader shotgun. Ward grabs the weapon and pulls the cowboy off his horse. Next the distinct sound of racking a shell into the breach of a magazine-fed shotgun can be heard, but the breach-loader is seen.

A Wanted (Inhu)Man - S3-E3

Character mistake: Lance and May walk into a bar in Massachusetts. As they enter, the camera pans and shows a large banner on the front window. The banner is advertising "game day" food and drinks. In very large letters the banner shows Boston Red Socks. The actual correct spelling is Boston Red Sox. (00:05:45)

Wake Up - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When the Chairperson calls the meeting to order and wants to swear in Daisy, you see Senator Nadeer is already sitting next to him. In the next shot, as Daisy is standing up, Nadeer is taking her seat.

Collision Course (Part II) - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: When Mack and Davis slide down the rope, they're wearing gloves. You see Davis take his gloves off, but Mack hasn't quite started to when we see Yo-Yo close to landing. When the shot cuts, Yo-Yo is landing and Mack now has his gloves off as he draws his weapon.

All the Madame's Men - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: When Daisy and May knock on the door of the SHIELD contact, the agent opened the door outward. Later when they were under attack, May dragged the agent in, and Daisy closed the door from inside. (00:17:39)

The Honeymoon - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: Right after Yo-Yo runs into Ivanov in the hallway, Fitz fires his gun at the robots. His gun is empty after he fires it. But in the following shot, it's been reloaded again.

THGhost

Ragtag - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Coulson is using a diagram to explain to The Team that Cybertek is the common denominator of everything that's happened during the season, he starts tracing lines that connect various bubbles of the diagram to each other, ending with one that links "the bus" to "GH-325." In the next few shots that last segment suddenly disappears, only to reappear later on. (00:04:15)

Principia - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: The background scenery, with the lighthouse in it, moves from right to left when Shield Agent Mac and his old school friend talk to one of the relocated scientists. However, in the next shot, it runs from left to right, as if they are on a boat. In reality, it shouldn't be moving at all. (00:18:16)

Season 6 generally

Deliberate mistake: The last season touched on Infinity War happening - this season jumps forwards a year, meaning that we should be one year into the "blip" (or snap), with half the universe missing. But The Team is all together, and the world/universe is utterly unaffected. Largely a byproduct of disagreement between the film and TV sides of Marvel, plus scheduling vagueness meaning they couldn't risk spoiling Endgame if they came back on the air before that was released. But considering the show is 100% part of the MCU, that's a pretty massive contradiction.

Broken Promises - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Fitz is examining Aida's head, Mack hands him a bottle of beer. He sets the beer on the table and the beer magically twists itself about. It isn't much and it's easy to miss. It's only a few centimeters or so. (00:38:30)

Baprovins12

Window of Opportunity - S6-E2

Other mistake: The module on the alien spacecraft Fitz repairs, most visible when he says "OK we're done, we're done" is just a standard PC motherboard, which also has no connections to anything else - it's just glued to the metal panel he's holding.

Chosen answer: Coulson believes he was resuscitated then sent to Tahiti to recuperate. "A magical place," he calls it. But in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "The Magical Place", Coulson, through a mind-reading machine, learns that he was treated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and a fake memory of Tahiti was placed as a "mask" of sorts over the painful memory of the operation, which involved a drug seemingly of alien origin to repair the damage, coupled with a lot of morally dubious surgery.
