Stormageddon (2015)

Plot hole: Echelon controlled satellites hit targets on Earth with pinpoint accuracy. A lot of them involve creating storms to ravage an objective. One of them is started over 18 hours away from the target (how they know is another mystery), but this is what gives the characters time and allows the movie plot to continue to the end to defeat Echelon.

MacGyver (2016)

Resort + Desi + Riley + Window Cleaner + Witness - S5-E1

Plot hole: Paula Matos comes into her room and surprises Desi and Riley. Paula has a gun. Riley asks her if the gun is ceramic, as no guns are allowed in the hotel past security. It is not answered, but it would be the only way Paula could have a gun. So far so good. But later when they have made a deal, and they are leaving the room, Riley tells Paula to leave the gun behind because there might be metal detectors along the way. If it is indeed ceramic, then there is no need to leave it behind. And if it is metal, how did it get past the metal detectors in the first place? One or the other premise is wrong. (00:24:05 - 00:26:00)

Mondays Are for Murder - S2-E13

Plot hole: In an effort to keep Glenn's death as quiet as possible, Higgins hires a private pathologist to do an autopsy to see if there were any foreign substances or poisons in his system when he died.

MacGyver (2016)

Seeds + Permafrost + Feather - S3-E17

Plot hole: The team is trying to recreate the movements of a murdered seed vault employee by using his phone's geolocation attributes (compass, accelerometer, altimeter, etc). They are trying to backtrack from the place they found the murdered employee to where he first surprised his killer. They backtrack using the data from the employee's phone, and there is another set of data shown on the computer. But they only have one phone's data to work with. Where did the data presumably from the killer's phone come from? (00:12:50)

Project Blue Book (2019)

The Green Fireballs - S1-E6

Plot hole: Captain Quinn interrogates a Sergeant and presumably he is let go. Yet for no reason and against all probabilities, Captain Quinn keeps the Sergeant's wallet, which among other things contains the Sergeant's ID card, not to mention other personal effects. How is he going to get on the base without an ID? There is no legal basis for the Captain to keep it. Why keep it? So he could rifle through it and discover a rent receipt later in the show? This is a poor way to further the plot. (00:16:40 - 00:17:30)
