Safe - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Simon's dad bails him out of prison, there is one shot showing a very long corridor. It is only seen in this one shot, doesn't appear to have any depth to it and there are no people walking in it. That's pretty unlikely for an Alliance prison. I'm thinking that it is a backdrop.

The Train Job - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Mal and Zoë exit the train, look closely at the woman in the yellow veil to the left of the screen holding a baby - she walks into a passing vehicle knocking her baby on its head (revealing it is really a doll).

Bushwhacked - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: As Mal rolls the survivor of the derelict transport onto the floor, the survivor moves his left hand onto his chest when he is supposed to be unconscious.

Serenity (1) - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When the camera follows a man through a curtain to reveal the Eavesdown Docks on Persephone, an extra in a white shirt, black vest and straw hat can be seen standing still on the left looking straight into the camera. He then looks away and starts walking. He was waiting for his cue from the director. Several seconds later, the same extra is seen again behind Mal and Kaylee walking in the opposite direction he was just going, giving the impression that the scene wasn't filmed on a location but in fact a small set and they could only afford so many extras.

Serenity (1) - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: Toward the beginning of the episode, when we first see Inara at the controls of her shuttle, she is holding the steering wheel upside down as she flies away.

Trash - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: When Simon gives Jayne an injection towards the end of the episode, you can see the fake needle retract into the syringe.

Shindig - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: During the bar fight at the beginning of the episode, Mal gets knocked over and then hits one of the slavers with a chair. The chair barely touches him yet he still falls to the floor.

THGhost

Ariel - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: Look at the pilot in the cockpit of the fake ambulance (that the crew made to infiltrate St. Mary's hospital) as it lands at the main entrance. It looks nothing like Wash, not even lifelike.

THGhost

War Stories - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: During the firefight on Niska's ship, when Simon sees a guard coming and says to Sheppherd Book, "Book, we, uh-", a dead guard on the floor moves his legs as the guard that Simon saw fires his weapon. (00:37:10)
