A Date with Jet Screamer - S1-E2

Other mistake: In the song "Eep Opp Ork Ah Ah" (sung later in the episode), the singer's lyrics say that it means "I love you", but it was first revealed by Elroy and his friend who first wrote that same code to mean "Meet me tonight".

The Terminator - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Rebecca is telling Dorn about Etienne's death, she explains that his room was right above the garage and after the explosion she "tried to go in, but the room was gone." Yet at the end of the episode when Louis goes into Etienne's room, it is fully intact, including pictures taped to the wall.

Show generally

Other mistake: When the team is in the grocery store, they rewind the security videotape (they play it backwards). They stop it at the last activity, when a man comes in and chainsaws his own head off. The body (and head) have gone blue/purple, and since everyone else died the previous night, we can assume that he cut his head off around 12 hours ago. At high speed reverse play, the time they spent rewinding would be only around 10 or 15 minutes of recorded time. (00:32:50)

A Pile of Stones - S1-E6

Other mistake: At the end of this episode when Jonathan and Nicky set off on horseback to the canal to board the tug boat "Heartsease" they leave late at night and arrive the next day. But in episodes 7 and 8 Margaret rides on horseback to Heartsease and home again, and the journey only takes a few minutes.

Force of Life - S1-E2

Other mistake: As they track Zoref, Victor calls for a view of Corridor 16, then after viewing it, calls for Corridor 49. In both views, it is the same Corridor, as evidenced by the number 16 on the lighted wall panel on the corner facing the camera.

Gently Falling Rain - S3-E4

Other mistake: This comes up in other sci-fi scenarios too - the shuttle is heading down to the planet's surface through heavy cloud cover/disturbances. Everyone acknowledges it'll be a bumpy ride, and the flight down is very fast and tense, trying to keep track of escorts, etc. But there's no need for it to be a fast entry. Their ships aren't aeroplanes which have a minimum speed and have to keep moving forwards. They could just hover and lower slowly through the clouds at a safe speed.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog picture

Act I - S1-E1

Other mistake: During "My Freeze Ray", there's a shot where Billy, Penny, and several other people open doors to the laundry machines in sequence. When Billy opens the door to his machine, you can see the reflection of everyone else just standing there, waiting for their cue to walk forward.
