Mr. Walsh Goes to Washington (2) - S4-E32

Audio problem: During the scene where David and Babyface are talking and Babyface asks David to fill in as one of the keyboardists for his carnival show, the camera shots going back and forth from both behind David and Babyface show them speaking, but it is very clear their words don't match their lip movements.

Self Defense - S3-E7

Audio problem: As the Stone and Schiff are watching the news report on the security camera tape the reporter has a voice over going whilst the tape is playing. Towards the end of the tape she is shown on TV and is doing a report on the case. You can see her lips don't come close to synching up with what she is saying. The piece was already airing on TV, so very doubtful the TV station missed the large discrepancy.

Ashes to Ashes - S2-E11

Audio problem: When Daisy is at the bar (acting), she gives Walter "5 reasons men come to a bar." When she says "Three: They wanna see that they're missing," her lips are not in sync with the words. It's tricky to see because they used a shot with the camera behind her.

Your Six - S8-E20

Audio problem: While at the range, Jamie takes Frank's revolver to the line and fires it. The last 2 shots you can hear the casings hitting the ground, but not on the first 3 shots. The last 2 shots are from another camera angle. Revolvers don't eject the casings, so we shouldn't hear them landing.

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.

Persona Non Grata - S6-E1

Audio problem: Diana talks to one of her sons, who's hiding inside playing Street Fighter II. You hear the sound effects playing that belong to the characters either Ryu or Ken: "Tatsumaki" (Hurricane kick), and "Shoryuken" (Rising dragon fist). When the shot cuts behind the son, you see the characters of Blanka (green guy) and E. Honda (the sumo wrestler). Neither of those characters can do either of those attacks, and there wasn't time for him to switch which character he was playing as. (00:23:39)
