Other mistake: In the scene with the crashed escape pod, everything inside is upended with books and stuff strewn everywhere. Yet there is a bottle of Vodka sitting perfectly upright on the bar in the background.
Other mistake: Charlie gets up and goes to the bathroom, where he finds a sink full of water ready for him, although he didn't ask a machine to do it and he didn't fill it himself.
Other mistake: When Dr Shaw is in the medical "machine", and she wants an abdominal operation, a voice says, "Preparing anaesthetics," but all it does is wipe a line on her stomach with something brown - could be betadine. But Shaw screams and yells in pain. If it really is a "machine" that can perform surgery, well, surely it could put the patient under an anaesthetic that knocks them out, properly.
Chosen answer: The med pod was intended for Weyland's use after he was awakened from being in stasis.
