All of Us Are Dead picture

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When Lee is being interrogated, at one point (after the detective says "Are you crazy?") the detective walks towards the large two-way mirror and you can see a clear reflection of a cameraman in the lower part of the mirror. (00:27:31)

Strange New Worlds - S1-E1

Character mistake: The Enterprise is targeted by projectiles from the planet. Spock identifies them as "plasma torpedoes", and Captain Pike reacts with surprise; "Plasma torpedoes? That's 21st century tech" and from that they all establish that the civilization they contacted is not yet capable of warp drive. Plasma torpedoes are the main weaponry of the Romulans centuries later, and Earth itself did acquire warp drive in the 21st century, so this claim and deduction don't seem to add up. (00:22:15)

Quantum Leap picture

Salvation or Bust - S1-E5

Factual error: The bad guy tells the townsfolk to 'Get out of Dodge.' Not a saying used in 1879, despite Dodge City being a real place. In fact by this time Dodge City was no more violent than many other places, so it wouldn't have been used as a direct comparison either. There's no record of this specific phrase being used until Gunsmoke, in 1955.

The Sandman picture

The Doll's House - S1-E7

Character mistake: When Rose and her friend board the plane, the stewardess offers them champagne. When she hands them their glasses, it is evident that the wine is a non-sparkling white wine, as there are no bubbles rising in the glasses. This is possibly a mistake by the stewardess, but not one that a professional would be likely to make.

Twotall

More The Sandman mistakes

Show generally

Factual error: It is stated that Christopher and Corinne settle in Pittsburgh. However, when Christopher is killed in a car accident, the police officers who come to inform Corinne are in a Virginia State Police car. Most of the rest of the series is set in Virginia, probably leading to the mistake, but this scene is not.

She-Hulk picture

Just Jen - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Jen is at the cash bar and keeps putting money down, it's the same shot used multiple times since it's the same serial number on the $5. And in one shot they flipped the image to make it look different (you can see the "5" is a reverse image).

Outer Range picture

The Family - S1-E6

Character mistake: The pharmacist says she's sorry, but they don't have the drug Lamotrigine in stock, so would the generic be okay?Lamotrigine is already the generic form of the drug Lamictal. (00:28:23)

Karen Pirie picture

A Darker Domain: Part 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: In the time of the original crime, Mick takes the handgun from Kevin and places it in his waistband. He then shows Catriona but does not give it to her. A few moments later, when Mick and Kevin are fighting, Catriona emerges from the other room and shoots Kevin with the pistol.

Remarriage & Desires picture

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Whilst Hye-seung is having a meeting with three other female colleagues about Lee Hyung-ju, the colleague sitting on her own to Hye-seung's left, is shown holding a pen that is pointed downwards. In the next shot, the pen is being held at a vertical angle. (00:50:23)

Casual Person

Children Ruin Everything picture

Careers - S3-E10

Character mistake: In Season 3, Episode 10 (Careers), Leonard admits to being a beginner at bicycling. Then, he proves it by having his helmet mirror on the wrong side.

Kleo picture

Show generally

Factual error: The German series is set in 1987 in Berlin before the wall came down. It shows a suitcase going through airport security that wasn't set up until after 2001.

More Kleo mistakes
More Trigger Point mistakes
Sherwood picture

Show generally

Factual error: The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has red fabric within the crowns on his rank insignia. This would be correct for most British police forces, but the Metropolitan Police uses blue fabric instead.

Necrothesp

More Sherwood mistakes
The Lincoln Lawyer picture

Bent - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: They are driving down the freeway when a shot reveals that the check engine light is on and it also looks as if the 'door open' warning light is illuminated. The latter is probably because the film crew have the rear door open for filming. (00:23:47)

Tokyo Vice picture

Show generally

Factual error: Jake and Miyamoto go to an establishment where there are girls dancing on stage. The girls are first dancing to "Motivation" by Kelly Rowland, released in 2011, and "Aly Walk With Me" by The Raveonettes, released in 2007. But, this scene takes place in 1999.
