Charmed (1998)

Witchstock - S6-E11

Plot hole: This episode takes place in 1967, and Penny (Grams) is married to a man named Allen Halliwell who dies in the episode. Allen is supposed to be Penny's "first husband," Patty's father and the Charmed Ones' grandfather. But it was previously established that Patty's father was named Jack, and he died in 1964. Also they hint that Patty is still little but we know she was born in 1950 so she would be 17.

Charmed (1998)

Witchstock - S6-E11

Plot hole: In the opening scene, Chris directs Piper and Phoebe on how to vanquish the amorphous demon. He says that it will attack "fast and hard" as soon as it senses Phoebe's magic when she levitates. But Chris had orbed out of the warehouse and back in, and the demon didn't react to the magic. Later in the episode, it is specifically attracted to a use of orbing, several times.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 1/14/04, Sam tells TC that if someone had told him the previous month that Grace would be with David now, he wouldn't have believed it. But Grace chose David on 11/14/03, so it would already have been a fact during the entirety of the month in question.

Tru Calling (2003)

Reunion - S1-E10

Plot hole: There is never any explanation of how the MPs find Jake at Bridget's house. He had apparently been at her old house for hours (if he went there directly from the hospital) without the MPs finding him there, so they must not have been following him. Tru managed to find out her new address, and somehow the MPs found him there, even though they didn't know anything about Jake's relationship with Bridget.

Tru Calling (2003)

Reunion - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Marco brings in Jake's body, he says that Jake was given a "clean bill of health" after the removal of a bullet from his leg. However, we later find out that a bullet fragment was subsequently found in his leg and that an embolism had formed.

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Plot hole: On 1/13/04, Marlena provides what may be the deciding testimony in Tony's hearing. Marlena is introduced to the court as a "criminal psychiatrist," despite never before being credited with that specialty. Her brief statement had nothing to do with psychiatry or the facts of the case, and didn't even provide any insight of the sort that a character witness might. She basically said, "I don't think Tony is the murderer." I don't see how this would have any bearing on the case, or would even be admissible.

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Plot hole: On 1/13/04, John scoffs at Marlena's belief that the ghosts of Roman and Abe spoke to Celeste. This seems odd, given that John exorcized Satan from Marlena and then God brought her back to life after she died, back in 1995.

Tru Calling (2003)

Show generally

Plot hole: Throughout the series, auxiliary characters are always far too willing to give all kinds of information to Tru. Doctors and registrars constantly give her privileged information about patients and students. Tru is often able to retrieve information like addresses and phone numbers from people's service and utility companies, when normally you must verify your own information before they will even talk to you about your account. Of course there can't be an episode if Tru doesn't quickly find the person who asked for her help, even though she doesn't usually know much more than their name, but it's still a bit conspicuous.

Tru Calling (2003)

Reunion - S1-E10

Plot hole: When Tru first arrives at the military hospital, a security guard tells her where Jake's room is, and she proceeds in that direction. Then a nurse tells her that visiting hours aren't until noon, and it's only about 9:30am. But surely the security guard would know when visiting hours are, so why wouldn't he mention that to Tru when it's obvious that she intends to visit a patient?

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 1/12/03, Jennifer says that Dr. Bader listened to her baby's heartbeat two weeks ago. But Jennifer found out that she was pregnant on Christmas Eve, and the 1/12/03 episode took place on New Year's Day, just one week later.

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: At Roman and Kate's wedding ceremony and thereafter (December, 2003 - January, 2004), Sami made frequent reference to the fact that Marlena and Roman are "still married in the eyes of God," presumably a reference to the fact that the Catholic church does not condone divorce. With no shortage of characters who wanted Sami to just shut up, why did nobody bring up the fact that Marlena married and divorced Don Craig several years before she married Roman, and is therefore married only to him "in the eyes of God" if one insists on using that standard?

Continuity mistake: They never do explain why Kate is covered with blood when she comes screaming back into the wedding reception after Roman is killed. One might assume that it was Roman's blood, but if that's the case then why was Roman's body still underneath the table when the others found it? In that position, Kate couldn't have had nearly enough contact with his corpse to get that much blood on her.

Continuity mistake: In December, when Kate and Roman's wedding started, Chloe's hair was crimped and hanging loose behind her head. By January, while the wedding was still going on, Chloe's hair was instead pulled up in a ponytail, and the hanging portion of her hair was straight.

Continuity mistake: One scene is captioned as being the end of the summer, and the kids are going back home for school. The next caption, about ten minutes after that scene, tells us that it is six months later, and also Christmas. But Christmas is just three months after the end of the summer, so either the caption is partially wrong, or the few intervening scenes carried us from September to the following June without even seeing the intervening holiday season, and then the caption was meant to jump us by an additional six months.

Revealing mistake: The movie takes place over the course of several years, as large segments of time pass between scenes of Will and Jane meeting at the airport, and other encounters. Thus, it is rather jarring to notice that their twelve year old children, Ben and Claire, don't appear to age at all. Young adolescents usually change in appearance quite drastically as they mature.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: At the end of the 12/30/03 episode, Kate and Roman cut the wedding cake, a red liquid seeps out, and Roman says, "Blood." At the beginning of the 12/31/03 episode, Kate and Roman cut the wedding cake, a red liquid seeps out, and Kate says, "Is that blood in the cake?"

Continuity mistake: On Christmas, Kate and Roman entered the Brady's celebration and announced that they would be getting married the next day. Sure enough, the next morning, it was to be their wedding day. But as midnight approached after the ceremony, it was New Year's Eve and everybody was getting ready to celebrate the new year, there at the wedding. But it was supposed to be December 26.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Plot hole: In December, 2003, Theresa is fighting the Cranes for custody of her son, Little Ethan. Fox and Whitney overhear that Julian and Rebecca are paying off Judge Reilly to rule in favor of them at every turn. Fox and Whitney share the information with Ethan and Theresa, who tell Theresa's lawyer Woody. When Rebecca discovers that Ethan is secretly helping Theresa, and he has to stop, Woody says that the case is hopeless unless they can turn the tide of public opinion against the Cranes. But why does nobody think of exposing Judge Reilly's corruption, so that the case can continue on a fair playing field, where Theresa is sure to win?
