Outside - S1-E10

Other mistake: Juliette and two cohorts need to go from Level 22 down to Level 125. Using the normal circular stairs, it would take several hours if not days to get there. They enter a garbage chute and climb down using a vertical ladder on the side - a very clumsy and slow descent. Yet, they make it in what appears to be a very short time.

Meet in the Middle - S2-E1

Other mistake: Phil looks up the driving time from Ashford and Diamond Falls. It is 4 hours 12 minutes. Later, he goes to meet Annie, and she has suggested they meet at Colson Bay, which is "in the middle." He is on a train, and he says that in 4 hours 12 minutes he will meet her. Even ignoring the fact that the train ride duration may or may not be four hours 12 minutes, that cannot be, as they are meeting "in the middle" of that distance.

Show generally

Other mistake: Danny Stevens, an undercover police officer, is killed. The police agree to investigate the murder of his undercover persona, Steve Daniels, thus allowing the investigation of his death without compromising their ongoing investigation into the activities of a drug kingpin. The officer investigating the murder visits the kingpin to ask about Steve's murder. She shows him a photo of the murdered man, but the name across the bottom is Danny Stevens - the policeman's real name.

Dawn of the Dead - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Deputy Dwayne is talking to Sheriff Miguel Acosta while Acosta pours himself a cup of coffee, he picks up the coffee jug, pours his coffee and puts the coffee jug back far more quickly than is humanly possible.

Free Fall - S1-E7

Other mistake: When Neil is in prison and has time on his hands, he puts pieces together that were shredded. Neil's name in the file is CAFFERTY, not CAFFERY. Also, in the same scene, the words "e've" can be seen with the W missing. Yet, later on, when Neil shows Burke the final photocopied piece, the W that wasn't there is now visible.

Voices Carry - S2-E2

Other mistake: The rear windshield of the car was supposedly shot out, but you can see the defroster lines on the intact rear windshield. When the truck comes up behind them with their high beams on, the driver keeps looking into a non-existent rear view mirror as if they are blinding him. (00:12:45)

The Patience of Maigret - S1-E1

Other mistake: A newspaper headline reads "MAIGRET tient t'il enfin le tueur?" This makes no sense in French. It should read "MAIGRET tient-il enfin le tueur?" ("Does Maigret have the killer at last?"). (00:27:55)

Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang - S2-E3

Other mistake: When Beaver takes the iPod/camera, the pictures are left on Veronica's laptop. This would only be possible if the pictures were copied onto the computer. It would have taken a considerable amount of time for all of the two thousand photos to be copied. There is the possibility that Beaver copied the three or so photos of Logan, but considering his anger, that's hardly something that he would take the time to do.

After the Fall - S3-E16

Other mistake: Regarding the suicide of Karen Anderson, her boyfriend explains that Karen hadn't been studying with him because she wanted to be in the sun all day, but all the footage of the bridge she jumped from shows it to have been a mostly overcast, gray day. The first shot of the bridge is at the very beginning of the episode and is repeated several times throughout.

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Other mistake: The General and Blore search the Doctor and the Judge's bag when the clock in a close-up strikes 8. When the doctor in an outbursts dumps Vera's bag on the floor, he stands by the clock that now shows it's 9:35. (00:05:05)

Jericho picture

Four Horsemen - S1-E3

Other mistake: The T.V. begins to work and you see a Chinese man with a map of the United States behind him. The cities that were destroyed were bulls-eyed on the map. Wichita was not bulls-eyed on the map, but Emily seconds later is crying in a car saying that her fiancee is dead because Wichita had been hit and she "saw it on the map."
