Once Upon a Time (2011)

Tallahassee - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Sidney's newspaper article in 1-8 "Desperate Souls" stated that Emma was arrested in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1996. However, this is directly contradicted in this episode, which shows that Emma was actually arrested in Portland, eleven years before the frame story, meaning that the arrest took place in 2001 (since "Selfless, Brave and True" establishes that Emma arrived in Storybrooke in October 2011, and the frame story of "Tallahassee" takes place a few months later, in 2012; the year 2001 is confirmed in 3-22 "There's No Place Like Home").

The Price of Gold - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Graham offers Emma the job as a deputy sheriff, when he gives her his card, you can see two women a few meters behind Emma, walking on the pavement, toward the camera. In the next shot of Emma, only a few seconds later, the women are still walking in the same direction, but they are much further away from her than in the previous shot. (00:16:15)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Emma Swan has a flower tattoo on her left wrist. It can be glimpsed during her date with Ryan, and is visible when she's sitting at the table with Mary Margaret in "The Thing You Love Most", and when she's on the phone with Ruby in "Red-Handed." However, when she opens the door for Henry in "Pilot", the tattoo is gone. The same thing happens when she unlocks the door to her room at the inn in "The Thing You Love Most" (in the scene where she is evicted), and when she's pressing a pack of ice against her wound in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter."

Tallahassee - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In the giant's treasure room, there are many giant gold coins near the skeleton of Jack the Giant Killer. The amount and position of the coins repeatedly changes. For example, when they find the skeleton, there are several coins on the edge of a small dais, but when Emma saves Hook from the trip wire, they are missing. (00:24:40)

Tallahassee - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Emma is arrested, she has a flower tattoo on her left wrist. When she's climbing the beanstalk with Hook, in a few shots, her wrist is bare, and you can see that the tattoo is missing; this happens, for example, when she remarks, "You should be used to people not trusting you."

The Crocodile - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Aboard The Jolly Roger, Rumplestiltskin says "Do I forgive you? Can I move on?", while walking past Milah. In the first shot, he is right behind her, but in the following wide-shot, he has suddenly moved to a position several meters away from her. (00:26:40)

And Straight on Till Morning - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When Baelfire attacks Hook, as Mr. Smee is heard saying "captain", Smee runs a few steps, before putting his hands on the railing. In the next shot, he comes running again, and once again puts his hands on the railing. (00:26:25)

And Straight on Till Morning - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mr. Smee asks Hook why Baelfire is still aboard The Jolly Roger, when Hook says "Anyone who disobeys can walk the plank and pray the mermaids take pity on his soul", as he begins to walk down the steps, Smee is several meters away from that area, with his back turned (look behind the mast). In the next shot, he is much closer to the steps, and is facing the viewer. (00:26:20)

Lacey - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the Sheriff of Nottingham (his Storybrooke counterpart) tries to apologize to Mr. Gold, they're at the corner of the Rabbit Hole, and in some shots, the clock tower building is seen behind the Sheriff. In other shots, there's a completely different building behind him. In the same scene, Mr. Gold alternates between standing right by the corner, and standing a couple of meters away. (00:35:40)

Lacey - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Gold and Lacey are on a date at Granny's Diner, when Granny comes with their drinks, she moves her hand towards Gold's glass of ice tea, sitting on the tray. In the next shot, we hear the clinking of ice as Granny picks up the glass, as well as the sound of the glass being put on the table, off-screen, on Gold's left. In the next shot, the glass has mysteriously moved to Gold's right, even though the camera was on him the whole time, and he never moved it. (00:25:00)

Continuity mistake: When Kurt and Owen are in the diner, in the first shot, Kurt is holding his tankard of beer by gripping the top. In the next shot, he's holding it by the handle, and the vegetables on his plate have changed position. (00:11:55)
