Farewell My Beloved Witch - S1-E3
Plot hole: Lupin was captured by chance, and he did not plan for that, nor he seemed to have previous knowledge of Stern's appearance, but he escapes regardless using a Mission Impossible-like perfect mask of him. He also somehow kept his own blazer, tie and shoes underneath the uniform and boots he stole and wore. (00:16:00)
Plot hole: Loki states while on trial that The Avengers should be on trial for traveling through time to change the timeline. How did he know they came back through time?
Suggested correction: He recognized that there were two Tony Starks in the lobby by the smell of their colognes, and combined with all the other unusual shenanigans going on, he correctly deduced the Avengers travelled through time, though he incorrectly thought it was to prevent his ascendancy.
How exactly do you distinguish the smell of cologne as belonging to two separate people? But besides that, it's pretty wild to jump to a conclusion about time travel when it could be that someone else happens to be wearing Axe.
I'm sure he simply recognized his voice.
Plot hole: The mysterious neurosurgeon Dr. Quinn was mentioned by the fake Myles Taggart under the pretence that his presence was announced by the local newspaper. It turns out that his invitation by the university was a lie - presumably no newspaper story existed at all then, or the university would have acted on that. Taggart is exposed as a fraud, Quinn's link to him is so direct that he was even the one who invited him (instead of goading the Colonel into inviting him like it was his own idea) and yet the Colonel continues to trust Quinn blindly - he even has the whole night and day to think about this simple fact, nothing was decided on the spur of the moment.
Circle Sewn With Fate / Unlock Thy Hidden Gate - S1-E2
Plot hole: Spoiler - considering what emerges at the ending of the series, Agatha's behaviour in this episode hardly makes sense. She had no trust in the Witches' road; in fact, she knew it did not exist at all, and her only aim was to steal the powers of the other four witches during a fake ritual. However, one of them is a normal human with no powers, one is a witch with her powers sealed and thus impossible to steal, and she literally tells the third one how her very specific energy-stealing power works - which, of course, is entirely absurd considering she had no purpose for her, given the lack of a real ritual.
Suggested correction: The whole point was to just get a witch to do the ritual. Agatha's earthly ability is to read people. Knowing it's a rouse, she tells Lillia what she needs to hear to participate in the ritual (the road will make Lillia more powerful) and that at the end of the road, Agatha cannot just steal her power. She knew she needed to show a bit of her hand and had no doubt a witch would blast her out of anger (and show no restraint) when the song was over and no door appeared (human nature).
Suggested correction: She made do with what she could find. Two of the witches had powers she could steal. Since she was totally powerless at that time, it would be enough for her. After taking the power of just one or two, she could have killed the others just as easily. It didn't matter to her that one of them was not a witch at all; she needed four to make them believe they were walking the witches' road.
"I can't steal your magic unless you blast me with it. So if you show a little self-restraint, which, let's be honest, you're gonna need to, all that power is yours to keep." This is not me paraphrasing her for humour or to be concise; it's the actual dialogue to the person she plans to rob of their power. And it is 100% accurate; there is no "spark" she can steal without being hit directly. This level of candour makes sense only if there is an actual point to the ritual, and her subsequent attempt at taunting them is desperation because the ritual does not work, so then, at that point, she has to make do with what she has. Not if the whole thing was a sham to begin with.
I agree it's strange she would warn her about her ability if she planned to have them attack her, but Alice did in fact use her powers on her later without thinking about those consequences. So maybe Agatha hoped she would forget or not show restraint once she angered them enough. The witches in the past all seemed very eager to attack her after being taunted, and seemed to have been working for her for centuries too, so why not now?
Plot hole: When Chutora and Kurotora, imprisoned in a mountain temple, see Sniper, they immediately recognise him, even though they have never seen him in the series.
Plot hole: When Ellie leaves Ft. Smith on a whiskey boat, she's just been seen with the morning sickness a day or two before. When she leaves the whiskey boat, somewhere between Arkansas and Nebraska, she says she's pregnant but is not showing at all. Even the snaggle-toothed frontier weirdo played by Steve Buscemi remarks that, "You ain't gonna be havin' no baby fer a while yet." The day she gets to Clara's, near Ogallala, Nebraska, she has the baby. Pregnancy lasts nine months. Morning sickness usually begins at about six weeks into it. Ft. Smith, Arkansas, to Ogallala is 561 miles. Even just walking three miles an hour for eight hours a day, one could make it in less than a month. But going via boat and mule-drawn wagon took her over seven months?
Plot hole: In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Gordon's teleportation ability is tied to sensing and linking with other Inhumans on Earth after their Terrigenesis. Yet in Inhumans, members of the Royal Family such as Triton travel to Earth. If Gordon's powers truly let him detect Inhumans, he should have sensed Triton's presence once he arrived. The show never explains why Earth Inhumans and Moon Inhumans can't detect or acknowledge each other, making this a continuity gap between the two series. The Inhumans reference the Terrigen being set loose in the Earth's oceans at the end of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2, meaning this show takes place at the same time as S.H.I.E.L.D season 3, and there is continuity between them. Yet somehow Gordon is unaware of the other Inhumans from the moon.
