Nothing Important Happened Today (1) - S9-E1
Character mistake: When Agent Dogget is eating breakfast, he listens to the information in TV news about "the body of 38-year-old Carl Wormus." However, the obituary which Agent Reyes is reading later says that "Carl Wormus was found dead at the age of 45." (00:07:30)
4th Jan 2020
Trivia: The Smoking Man says to Jeremiah Smith: "Anyone who can appease a man's conscience can take his freedom away from him." This is a quote from "The Grand Inquisitor" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. (00:30:52)
18th Dec 2019
Other mistake: When Mulder and X are standing outside the Mulders' summer house, we hear that it is raining, but there is no sign of rain on neither of them. (00:17:50)
15th Jan 2019
Other mistake: When Agent Comer is trying to steal the truck, he wants to hot-wire it. To do so, he unplugs the power and ignition wires in order to short-circuit them. When the owner unexpectedly appears, Agent Comer beats him up, steals the ignition key and starts the car with the key. The problem is that after unplugging the wires he cannot start the car with the key anymore. (00:20:40)
15th Jan 2019
Continuity mistake: When Agent Scully is leaving her apartment to meet Agent Doggett and Agent Reyes, her mother is holding William in her hands. Depending on the shot, William's head is turned right or left. (00:21:30)
15th Jan 2019
Continuity mistake: Agent Doggett holds the rubbings in his hands and after a while, he hands them over to Agent Reyes. However, when filmed from behind Doggett, the rubbings are in the same position in both situations. (00:07:45)
27th Dec 2018
Character mistake: When Josepho meets Agent Scully, he recites to her the passage from the Bible that begins with the phrase: "Behold, a whirlwind came out of the north" Then he asks her if she knew that fragment from the Bible. She answers: "Ephesians." Unfortunately, she is wrong, because this fragment comes from Ezekiel 1:4. (00:30:30)
27th Nov 2018
Other mistake: While Cadet Hayes is being interrogated, he says, "I studied the photos of your son's death. They called to me. I don't know why, but it was a message and I listened." Then Scully answers, "And then you killed Agent Doggett's son." This answer is illogical and complete nonsense because the photos of Agent Doggett's son were taken after his death. (00:36:05)
16th Nov 2018
Continuity mistake: When Agent Doggett follows Lukesh into the parallel universe trying to find him, Lukesh suddenly reappears from Doggett's left and is pointing at him with the gun held in the left hand, while in the next shot he is aiming at the agent from his right holding the gun in his right hand. (00:03:25)
16th Nov 2018
Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, we see the reflection of the Moon in a puddle. The Moon looks exactly as we see it in the sky. The problem is that in the puddle we should see the mirror image of the Moon. (00:00:05)
15th May 2018
Factual error: Dogget says that "It would require something 4,300 times the density of steel to cause this damage." Steel is about 8 times denser than human flesh, so bearing in mind that density is proportional to mass at constant volume, it means that Ray would be 4,300 x 8 = 34,400 times heavier than if he were a regular human being. Assuming that he normally weighed about 80 kg, after the transformation he would weigh 80 kg x 34,400 = 2,752 tons. It means that hardly any ground would support his incredibly huge mass, let alone items such as a bed, chair, stairs, building structures, etc.
23rd Apr 2018
Other mistake: Larina dials 4, 1, and 4, but the voice in the phone says, "This is operator 525." (00:23:25)
6th Apr 2018
Trust No 1 - S9-E6
Revealing mistake: When Agent Reyes drives up to Agent Dogget's parked car, he looks in his rearview mirror. Its background should be obviously a transparent windshield to which the mirror is fixed. However, when the camera shows the image seen in the rearview mirror, we see in the background something similar in appearance to a solid wall. (00:10:50)
6th Apr 2018
Trust No 1 - S9-E6
Question: After blowing up the car, when the NSA guy answers Scully's question, "How the hell do you know my size?" he says, "I know the name of your college boyfriend, your true hair colour, your ATM PIN number." This strongly suggests that red is not her true colour. Therefore, my question is: What is the true colour of Scully's hair?
Answer: Actress Gillian Anderson's natural hair color is strawberry blonde, which she dyed fiery red. (Although in the revival of the show she wears a wig).
The question does not concern Gillian Anderson's true hair colour-it concerns Agent Dana Scully's true hair colour.
25th Mar 2018

Continuity mistake: When Agent Reyes and Assistant Director Brad Follmer meet in the bar, Brad is holding his glass either by the cup or the stem, depending on the shot. (00:18:20)
21st Mar 2018
Other mistake: Deep Throat says that Mulder and Scully are standing in the very room, where "the first human-alien hybrid was created." However, only in the "Patient X" episode, are we told that it is Cassandra who has just become the first successful human-alien hybrid. (00:28:00)
20th Feb 2018
Continuity mistake: When Dr Cabrera says "Let him go," the blonde female assistant is on the left of the male assistant, but in the next shot she is on his right. (00:39:30)
20th Feb 2018
Continuity mistake: When doctors make a cut on Cassandra's belly, the green substance comes out of the cut and pours down directly onto the piece of blue cloth she is covered with. In the next shot the fragment of cloth that was in contact with the substance is dry, but in the following shot, there is a large soaked stain on the piece of cloth. (00:00:50)
15th Jan 2018
Continuity mistake: When the CSM discovers the bright spot on the carpet, he immediately realises that Mulder's apartment was under surveillance. However, one can notice that soon after entering Mulder's apartment, the CSM looks down at the floor and carpet covered with blood and there is no bright spot. (00:14:00)
11th Jan 2018
Factual error: When Byers asks Langly to try under active cases to find Holly Modeski in the FBI database, Langly only presses two or three keys on a keyboard, which is obviously not enough to enter "Holly Modesky" to the search engine. (00:19:40)
9th Jan 2018
Continuity mistake: The truck stolen by Mulder from the Russian labor camp is Unimog 406. However, during the accident scene, when it comes out of the woods and falls from the hill, it miraculously turns into Unimog 404 model. (00:13:30)
7th Jan 2018
Continuity mistake: During the meeting at a horse track, after the CSM says "You need my expertise, " the First Elder raises his head. In the following shot from the other side, he raises it again. (00:21:00)

Factual error: When two unidentified men who approached Susanne Modeski in the warehouse take out their handguns, they have regular pistols. However, when they start to shoot, continuous fire is heard that could only be produced by an automatic weapon. (00:28:40)
Suggested correction: Fully automatic pistols exist, such as the Glock 18.
25th Dec 2017
23rd Dec 2017
Continuity mistake: When Mulder and Scully talk about the piece of skin while driving to the reservation, one can see that there are green trees from the Mulder's side of the road, but when the shot is taken from the outside of the car, there are only grey bushes and landscape devoid of nearby trees on both sides of the road. (00:07:00)
18th Dec 2017
Factual error: At The Beginning of the scene, XO Johanson is looking through the periscope. However, it is nonsense, because the submarine was in silent running, and the Japanese destroyer was circling it, so the sub must have cruised in deep submersion. The water depth there was approx. 270 meters, as the French salvage team claims at The Beginning of the episode. There is rarely any significant light beyond 200 meters. Looking through the periscope in these conditions would be completely useless. (00:32:25)
18th Dec 2017
Trivia: Pusher tells Skinner, "Take a walk, Mel Cooley." Mel Cooley is a character played by Richard Deacon in The Dick Van Dyke Show, who is very similar in external appearance to Skinner. (00:23:05)

Continuity mistake: When Mulder tells Krycek to go to the bathroom and clean off, in the front shot Krycek holds his right hand raised, while in the back shot his right hand is lowered. (00:42:10)
8th Dec 2017
Factual error: When Mulder gives Scully the birthday card, she says that he is two months early. Given that Scully's birthday is on 23 February, the time of the episode should be sometime near Christmas. However, through the whole episode, there is no sign of Christmas time (not a single Christmas tree, no Christmas decorations, etc). (00:19:35)
30th Nov 2017
28th Nov 2017
Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the scene when the bomb is shown, in the lower part of the screen a moving red spot appears which probably comes from the reflection of the bomb's red diode in the camera. (00:36:50)
25th Oct 2017
Invocation - S8-E5
Continuity mistake: When Scully finishes her conversation with Doggett and walks away, there is only one dark-haired policeman watching the crime scene, but when Doggett looks at the crime scene and Mr. Underwood gets up, there is a blond-haired policeman talking with someone. (00:41:55)

10th Aug 2017
Continuity mistake: When Knowle Rohrer is talking with Agent Doggett face to face in a separate room about the super-soldier project, he is wearing a red FBI badge, but in the previous scene when he came to visit Doggett, he was wearing a regular FBI badge. (00:08:40)
10th Aug 2017
Continuity mistake: When Agent Reyes and Agent Scully are talking about mood music, in some shots Reyes rests her hand on the bed's backrest, while in other shots she firmly grabs it. (00:14:45)

Factual error: Deputy Director Alvin Kersh tells Agent Doggett a story about King George III, who, on July 4th, 1776, the same day the American colonies declared their independence, allegedly made an entry in his diary: "Nothing important happened today." However, according to Arnold Hunt, curator at the British Library, King George III never kept a diary. (00:37:15)
13th Jul 2017
Nothing Important Happened Today II (2) - S9-E2
Factual error: After a short examination of Shannon McMahon with a stethoscope and blood pressure meter Scully definitely claims that physically Shannon is absolutely normal. However, this type of examination cannot reveal any of Shannon's supernatural abilities. In order to prove or disprove that Shannon is a supersoldier, Scully could only examine if she could breathe underwater. (00:19:55)
13th Jul 2017
Nothing Important Happened Today II (2) - S9-E2
Continuity mistake: After entering the room with the water tank Agent Doggett has dived into, the Assistant Director Brad Follmer screams "Doggett!", while in the same scene in the "Nothing Important Happened Today I" episode he screams "Agent Doggett!" (00:03:35)

To you, and to William." (00:06:05)

Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Mulder, in the front shot the Deep Throat tilts his head to the left while in the back shot his head is tilted to the right. (00:26:10)
28th Apr 2017
Continuity mistake: When Scully enters her apartment, the blinds are up and there is quite a lot of light in the room. However, when the flashback with Mulder ends, during which Scully was supposedly standing still, the shades are rolled down and there is much less light in the room. (00:20:30)
28th Apr 2017

The members of the crew are the last persons who leave the launch pad at least 20 minutes before liftoff. However, during the close-up take of the main engines, when the ground control says "All systems go for APU start", we can see two members of the ground personnel in orange suits near the engines. (00:12:40)

31st Mar 2017
Without (2) - S8-E2
Continuity mistake: When Mulder's fall from the cliff is filmed from the ground, one can see that he is wearing white shirt, while earlier and afterwards Mulder is dressed in a grey T-shirt. (00:03:20)
8th Mar 2017
Other mistake: The fourth photo could not have been taken by Mulder, because he is shooting craft's pictures from elevation, while this photo is taken from the ground level. (00:08:45)
22nd Feb 2017
Other mistake: Eve 6 says that ordinary human beings have 46 chromosomes, while the Adams and the Eves have 56 chromosomes. This makes 10 additional chromosomes. However, Eve 6 also mentions that they have additional chromosomes number 4, 5, 12, 16, and 22 - only 5 additional chromosomes. (00:22:40)
16th Feb 2017

30th Jan 2017
All things - S7-E17
Other mistake: The surname on the envelope is "Szczesny" (which is of Polish origin and means "Lucky"), so its pronunciation should be something like "shtcheznhy." However, in the subtitles the surname is written as "Szezesny" and pronounced by Scully accordingly. (00:06:30)
19th Dec 2016
The Goldberg Variation - S7-E6

17th Nov 2016
Millennium - S7-E4
Factual error: When Mulder wants to shoot the third resurrected agent, it turns out that there is no ammunition left in the revolver. In fact, there should be one bullet left. When Frank Black takes the handgun from the necromancer, one can see that the cylinder is full with six bullet. Then, he fires three bullets into the first resurrected agent and two bullets are fired by Mulder into the second resurrected agent. (00:39:05)
17th Nov 2016
The Sixth Extinction (2) - S7-E1
Factual error: When Mulder is visited by his mother, he definitely shows brain activity, because he is "talking" with her, however there are only flat lines on the monitor.

6th Nov 2016
Millennium - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: When Skinner walks away from the conference table, his armchair is only slightly turned left from its normal position towards the table, but when he comes back with additional documents, the armchair is turned left to the position perpendicular to the table. (00:10:20)
6th Nov 2016
Millennium - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: When Scully stops by the fence that leads to the necromancer's property, there is only one red car parked that seems to be Frank Black's car. It seems that Mulder's car and the necromancer's car vanished into thin air. (00:38:40)
6th Nov 2016
Continuity mistake: When the two pieces combine into one and burst up into the Bible, in the first shot the neighboring books are leaning against the Bible, while in the following shot they are arranged in a neat pile. (00:05:30)

30th Sep 2016
Other mistake: Padget hands over one page of his book to his imagined character who is invisible to anyone else except him. Therefore, the page should hover in the air for an external observer. However, Scully watches his apartment on a monitor and notices nothing strange. (00:38:05)
8th Sep 2016
Plot hole: Big Mike was attacked by the creature, because his bulb was broken just for a couple of seconds. It would mean that even if something like this happened to somebody else by accident, this person would also be killed by the creature. That would drastically increase the kill rate in the community. (00:16:15)
Suggested correction: That was the whole point of the creature, to enforce the HOA rules so that no violations occurred, even by accident. Although prior to the attack, Gene Gogolak describes Big Mike as a weak link that had to be dealt with, so the bulb was just an excuse to attack him.
8th Sep 2016
Continuity mistake: When Mulder lies on the bed, he's wearing shoes, but when Scully tells him goodbye and he gets out of the bed, he's not. (00:24:10)

3rd May 2016
Trivia: "Agua Mala" is a quote from Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" and means "Bad water" in Spanish.
8th Apr 2016
Plot hole: It is virtually impossible that such a conspiracy-experienced, cautious, and wise person as the Second Elder would be so naive and careless to just let the "Dr. Openshaw" faceless alien to his house, knowing from the CSM that Dr. Openshaw had died that evening. (00:15:10)
4th Apr 2016
Character mistake: Pusher says that he read in Scully's files that she had shot Mulder, although after Pusher's visit in the Computer Records Office Skinner says that Pusher checked only Mulder's files. (00:40:15)

28th Mar 2016
Continuity mistake: During the conversation with Scully regarding Wayne Weinsider, Mulder says "I don't know why. I'm not a psychologist", which must be a big surprise for all viewers, to say the least. Mulder graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology (e.g. "Dreamland II") and he worked for some time as a profiler for the FBI (e.g. "Young at Heart"). (00:32:25)
28th Mar 2016
Trivia: According to A. Crowley, the words "Zazas, zazas, nasatanada, zazas" come from some ancient vision: by them Adam was said to have opened the gates of Hell. They are supposed to mean "Open, open, gates of Hell, open" and some claim that it originated in Pagan Europe. (00:18:50)
22nd Mar 2016
Factual error: When Mulder avoids hitting the truck, in the shot from the inside of the car he turns the wheel full left which means that the car should start to spin anticlockwise. However, in the next outside shot the car spins clockwise. (01:16:25)
22nd Mar 2016
Continuity mistake: When the agent is driving home, in all shots the air is crystal clear except for one back shot, when there is fog in front of the car. (00:01:15)
16th Mar 2016
Factual error: At The Beginning of the "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man" episode Frohike says that the CSM appears when Trotsky was assassinated, i.e. 20 August 1940, but he does not claim that this is an exact date of birth. However, he further says that during the Nazi-Soviet Pact (1939-41) the CSM's father "kept NKVD informed on American plans to enter World War II" and for this reason he was executed before the CSM learned to walk. This means that his father could not have been executed earlier than in 1941. Assuming that babies learn to walk between a few months and 2 years, the CSM could not have been born earlier than in 1939. It means that in 1953 he should have been a young teenager, and not an adult man, as he is presented. (00:03:45)
16th Mar 2016
Trivia: The recipient on the envelope is Dr. Uroff-Koltoff. "Uroff-Koltoff" was also the name of the ship in the "Patient X" episode. (01:29:05)

Trivia: It seems that Scully's bedtime reading is Dori Carter's "Beautiful Wasps Having Sex." Dori is a spouse of Chris Carter. (00:29:55)
16th Mar 2016
Other mistake: Father Joe says "You brought me to the wrong house", which seems to be a proof of his psychic abilities. However, one does not need to be a psychic to notice the neighboring house all covered with yellow tape reading "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS." (00:22:20)
16th Mar 2016
Die Hand die Verletzt - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: Having finished his conversation with Scully by the tree stump, Mulder walks away. However, in the next shot he again starts to walk away from Scully and from closer than before. (00:07:30)
10th Mar 2016

9th Mar 2016
Continuity mistake: When the craft is flying over Scully, Mulder, and Morris Fletcher, in the first shot Fletcher stands with his back turned to the agents, but in the next shot he is facing them. (00:03:10)
27th Feb 2016
Factual error: When Mulder is walking out of the cabin in Spender's uniform, the soldiers try to stop him. This is impossible since he is an officer (a lieutenant judging from the shoulder-straps) and they are privates, so they cannot give him orders. The only thing they can do in this situation is to salute him. (00:08:40)
23rd Feb 2016
Continuity mistake: When the car drives down the hill, the front and rear left window of the car is open, but in the shot from the inside of the car after it is stopped, there is Crump's blood on the closed rear left window. (00:40:05)
23rd Feb 2016

26th Jan 2016
Other mistake: In order to leave such bloody footprints, CSM must have stepped into the puddle of blood. It is impossible because the guy shot by CSM could not bleed so much blood in such short time, not mentioning that CSM must have intentionally stepped into it. (00:05:20)
26th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: The chessboard was knocked down by the falling Russian, however in the next shot it is still on the table. (00:02:55)
26th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: This is probably one of the most intriguing chess plays in the history of mankind. In the first move shown on the screen Gibson moves a white knight from e4 to f6. Then, in the close-up, the situation on the chessboard more or less corresponds to the arrangement of the figures previously shown on the screen. However, in the next shot, when we see the chessboard from the Russian perspective, the arrangement is completely different. Especially, there is no white knight on the chessboard at all. In the following shot the white rook suddenly appears on g8 (and is subsequently beaten by the black king), but in the next move Gibson again moves his white rook on g8, while the black king has miraculously returned to h8 and again beats the white rook. Moreover, Gibson could not play two white rooks, because later on we see that there is still at least one white rook on the chessboard.

19th Jan 2016
Unrequited - S4-E16

19th Jan 2016

14th Dec 2015
Mind's Eye - S5-E16
Continuity mistake: While talking through the jail glass, Marty's face is generally directed straight toward Mulder's face when reflected in the glass, but her head is twisted to the right when filmed from Mulder's side. (00:34:40)
14th Dec 2015
Mind's Eye - S5-E16
Visible crew/equipment: During the scene of Marty's interrogation there is some dark blue element behind Mulder when he is reflected in the mirror. However, in the frontal scene there is just a plain wall behind him. (00:24:00)
14th Dec 2015
Mind's Eye - S5-E16
Continuity mistake: When the policeman passes the phone over to Marty, in the first shot from behind she holds it with two hands, while in the next frontal shot she grabs it with her left hand and then with the right hand. (00:13:20)
14th Dec 2015
Mind's Eye - S5-E16
Other mistake: Since the apartment was supposedly "turned inside out and upside down, " as Detective Pennock claims, it would be practically impossible that such an obvious place as the shaving blades container not be dug up thoroughly by the police. (00:12:15)
4th Dec 2015
The Red and the Black (2) - S5-E14
Continuity mistake: While in the car with Scully, Mulder turns his head aside of Scully towards the side window twice: once when the shot is facing Scully, and just after in the shot facing him. (00:40:25)
4th Dec 2015
The Red and the Black (2) - S5-E14
Revealing mistake: It seems that in the first shot the doctor injects something into the vaccine vial rather than extracting from it since the syringe plunger is moving inwards instead of outwards. In the next shot one can see that the syringe is being filled with the vaccine, however the arrangement of doctor's fingers is suitable for injection, which strongly suggests that the scene is played backwards. (00:17:55)
30th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: Uroff-Koltoff Star of Russia in New York Harbor is a completely different ship from Uroff-Koltoff Star of Russia leaving Vladivostok at 17:45. (00:33:10)
25th Nov 2015

20th Nov 2015
Trivia: Gethsemane is a garden in Jerusalem where Jesus prayed the night before his crucifixion.
20th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: During and just after the Mulder's seizure, when Scully's face is shown, it is at the level of a standing person which suggests that both agents are standing, but in the next shot Mulder and Scully are crouching. (00:31:35)
16th Nov 2015
Other mistake: When examining the bag via X-ray at the airport, Mulder communicates to Scully that he sees three circular pieces inside, however only one circular piece is visible inside the superstructure. (00:31:20)
9th Nov 2015
Factual error: The stamp of the scene says that it is Wilkes Land, Antarctica. Wilkes Land extends from Cape Hordern in 100°31' E to Pourquoi Pas Point in 136°11' E. However, the coordinates of the spaceship are 63°00' E, 83°00' S, so this place is located definitely outside the area of Wilkes Land. (01:24:00)
9th Nov 2015
Factual error: When the Smoking Man comes back to the base, in the first shot the tracks are shown, but they definitely do not belong to his snowcat but Mulder's. Only Mulder's snowcat has triangular-like shape of the tracks. (01:33:05)
9th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: While Mulder climbs down the inside of the spaceship, when he enters the second hole he wears gloves but when he falls out of if the gloves are gone. (01:27:20)

9th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: During the handbrake turn Scully smiles, although in the preceding and following shot her face is very serious. (00:31:15)
9th Nov 2015
Factual error: Gonzales shot himself in the forehead but he's got the back of his head intact - no exit wound. (00:27:40)
9th Nov 2015
Other mistake: Sergeant Louis Frish had not enough time to walk down from the air traffic control tower to meet the agents since he was on the top of it when Mulder and Scully drive up to the tower - two persons can be seen on the top of the tower. (00:21:45)
9th Nov 2015
Factual error: In the background the full moon is visible and it's early morning (approx. 6:00 AM). However, at the start of the episode we see the full moon at night (approx. 19:50). Due to the fact that these are consecutive days, this situation is impossible from an astronomic point of view. (00:14:35)
9th Nov 2015
Factual error: The last number on the truck's license plate is "77." On Russian plates the last two/three digits stand for a registration place. "77" is a number for Moscow, but the Gulag is located in Krasnoyarsk region, so the number should be different. Besides, the format of the plate (LDDDDL|DD) is incorrect - the correct one is LDDDLL|DD (L - letter, D - digit). (00:11:05)
9th Nov 2015
Character mistake: Vassily Peskov speaks Russian with a strong accent. This is because the actor who plays Peskov (Jan Rubes) was from former Czechoslovakia.

Factual error: This is probably the first time in history of civilized mankind that a person with a diplomatic visa is full-body-cavity searched, not to mention the illegal opening of the diplomatic bag. (00:04:05)
9th Nov 2015
Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man - S4-E7
Other mistake: When the CSM is aiming at the door, it must be quite difficult for him because it seems that he forgot to take off the protective lid from the night vision rifle sight. (00:35:10)
9th Nov 2015
Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man - S4-E7
Factual error: In the US classified information system there is "compartmented information", but there's no "compartmentalised information." (00:08:00)
9th Nov 2015

Continuity mistake: In The Beginning, when the Bounty Hunter gets out of his car, Jeremiah Smith says nothing. However, in the same scene at 42:08 in the "Talitha Cumi" episode, Jeremiah says "He is here to kill me." (00:00:05)
17th Sep 2015
Visible crew/equipment: Near the entrance of the building, when the fire brigade arrives, a guy holding a boom microphone is visible. (00:19:25)
21st Apr 2015

21st Apr 2015
Continuity mistake: Agent Frank Burst screams "Stop!", but in the previous shot the police car was already stopped, although deputy Scott Kerber has just pushed the accelerator. (00:03:30)
21st Apr 2015

21st Apr 2015
Continuity mistake: While hugging detective White, in the first shot Mulder's tie covers his shirt's collar, but in the next shots the tie is hidden under the collar. (00:26:10)
21st Apr 2015
War of the Coprophages - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: The bug exterminator squeezes his throat with either left or right hand depending on the shot. (00:02:25)
21st Apr 2015
Revelations - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: When filmed from the inside of the basket, the openings in the basket structure are big enough to put a finger into it, while in the outside shot the structure is compact and dense. (00:21:00)
11th Apr 2015
Visible crew/equipment: As the camera flies over the train, in the upper right corner of the screen there is some equipment and umbrella visible that are not likely to just be in the middle of nowhere - probably filming equipment. In the next shot they are gone. (00:31:05)
11th Apr 2015
Revealing mistake: The guy who is jumping to the water is definitely not Mulder. It is a stunt. (00:21:20)
11th Apr 2015
Continuity mistake: Mulder jumps down by the fence in two configurations: one when he is filmed with a closeup (left side), and the other while he is filmed from the distance just a moment after (right side). (00:08:15)
11th Apr 2015
Other mistake: It seems that the first round fired by the hit squad destroys the camera or its power supply unit, because the satellite transmission is interrupted exactly at the moment the squad enters the train car. However, the members of the squad firstly shoot in the glass and then at the doctors. (00:06:25)
11th Apr 2015
Continuity mistake: Near the start, the train on the track adjacent to the train car's track is either moving or not, depending on the shot. (00:01:05)
11th Apr 2015
Plot hole: The guy who was standing at the back of the train car was somehow able to move to the front of it. This was impossible because the train car was sealed and no unauthorized person could enter it. (00:00:50)
11th Apr 2015
Other mistake: There is too much light on the ceiling for the tiny hole Amy accidentally discovers on the wall. In one shot it is plain to see that there are other light sources. (00:20:00)
11th Apr 2015
Continuity mistake: Ellen stays by the door looking to the right from it, but in the next shot she looks straight at Mr Incanto. (00:33:55)
11th Apr 2015

11th Apr 2015
Factual error: Mulder tells Scully that he is trying 27828 and it is not working. It is not surprising that it is not working, because the Napier constant is not 27828, it is 271828. Plus they somehow they know how many digits from this constant should be entered on the keyboards. (00:15:55)
11th Apr 2015
Other mistake: The heavy rain falls and bangs on the greenhouse roof, although Mulder and Scully are completely dry, even though they carry no umbrella with them. (00:10:20)
8th Apr 2015
Anasazi (1) - S2-E25
Character mistake: Mulder asks Scully about "the fourth commandment about obeying the Sabbath, the part when God made heaven and Earth " However, Scully as a Catholic should know that this is the third commandment for Catholics. This is also an indirect indication that Mulder was raised in Jewish religion. (00:09:25)
8th Apr 2015
Anasazi (1) - S2-E25
Factual error: It is completely impossible the Thinker has made a digital copy that cannot be duplicated.
8th Apr 2015
Other mistake: Unlike Mr Chaco, who has the brace clamped around his neck, Scully is clamped around the top of her head, which is a quite irrational way of executing a person, because the clamp does not serve as a stabilizer. In fact, in this arrangement, Scully is not fixed to the stand at all. (00:38:15)
8th Apr 2015
Soft Light - S2-E23
Factual error: Dr Banton's shadow devours the second policeman, however Banton cannot cast a shadow in that direction. (00:11:35)

21st Feb 2015

29th Jan 2015
29th Jan 2015
Continuity mistake: When Mulder gets out of the car, it's dark outside, but when the helicopter comes, it is still daylight. (00:25:00)
29th Jan 2015
Factual error: It's quite strange that only after Mulder looks into the ashtray he realizes that the Smoking Man has been in the car. Mulder should smell the scent of cigarettes immediately after entering the car, especially if he is a non-smoker. (00:36:05)
26th Jan 2015
Plot hole: At his arrival at the Arecibo observatory, Mulder crushes the padlock on the door leading to the control building, and then he finds the native man, Jorge, in the toilet, who hid himself in the building. There's no way Jorge could enter the building and also lock himself in there with the padlock. (00:17:45)
26th Jan 2015

Continuity mistake: When Scully changes the refill of her ball-pen, in the right shot she keeps it under the desk while in the next left shot she holds it over the desk. (00:12:20)

2nd Jun 2014

17th May 2014
