Pilot - S1-E1

Factual error: The memory Jane has of the man who takes away all her memories holds a butterfly needle to Jane's arm. The butterfly needle is called that because it has 2 wings and a body in the middle. To use this needle properly, the person takes both wings up together to be able to slide the small needle in, but the person we see using it, doesn't do this - he holds the needle behind the 2 wings and then inserts it. Also, this needle is far too small to handle the bag of drug-filled fluid that is intended for Jane's arm.

Eight Slim Grins - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Jane is being told by Mayfair that she can carry a weapon, she has a scar over her left eye. In the next scene, which follows immediately, the scar has gone. (00:50:00)

Cede Your Soul - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: The semi that is hooked up to the the trailer hauling the DEA guns is not the same semi that is hooked up to the trailer when it explodes.

Sent on Tour - S1-E7

Factual error: When they are flying to Michigan, the scene in the air is of mountains that are definitely not between NYC and Michigan.

Scientists Hollow Fortune - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: The team is assaulting the warehouse. The sights on one team member's gun changes 3 times. He starts with a scope, then a quick shot with no/iron sights (and a foregrip has been placed over his rails at the front) and then a reflex sight (a red dot). (00:26:50)

Older Cutthroat Canyon - S1-E15

Other mistake: In the ship the guy who wanted to kill Jane stops bleeding from his shoulder. And there wasn't any sign of blood on his jumpsuit when he was fighting with Jane either.

Regard a Mere Mad Rager - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: When Reade is in Weller's office, his face is still pretty bruised, especially around his left eye and cheek, from the drug dealers beating him. When he's talking to Zapata outside of Weller's office, his face isn't as bruised up.

Mom - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: When Shepherd spots Jane and Kurt on the security camera, they're both walking past a set of doors. Two shots later, they walk past the same set of doors again.

This Profound Legacy - S3-E5

Character mistake: Congressman Weitz tells the FBI task force that Kazahrus is an "absolute monarchy." Director Hirst interrupts him to state that this means "the order of succession is based solely on heredity," which she implies is well-known to students of civics. An absolute monarchy is one where the monarch's powers are unrestricted (such as by legislative or judicial branches of government). Hirst is describing a hereditary monarchy, but not all hereditary monarchies are absolute (for example, England's constitutional monarchy is hereditary), nor are all absolute monarchies hereditary (the Vatican's elective monarchy is absolute). What Hirst says is true of Kazahrus, but not of absolute monarchies, the term Weitz was defining. Weitz is presented as an expert on the topic, but doesn't correct her.

Hella Duplicitous - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: The Japanese lady in the red jumpsuit in the fight scene on the roof is first wearing boots with a little heel, then when the fight starts the boots are flat.

My Art Project - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Zappata is cleaning after the murder on Kira, she hears something. When she draws her gun she is wearing gloves. The second after, gloves are gone. (00:30:30 - 00:31:00)

The One Where Jane Visits an Old Friend - S4-E16

Factual error: A newspaper clipping is shown saying a 15 year old boy became the youngest licensed pilot in Connecticut history. It goes on to say he finished his instruction, signed the paperwork, and took off again in a rented plane for his first solo flight. There are many errors here: 1 - The minimum age for even a student pilot's license is 16. For an unpowered glider, it is 14, but such was not the case here. 2 - Further, a student pilot is not a "licensed" pilot. 3 - In order to obtain a private pilot's license, besides all the written tests and practical instruction, the student needs to have completed: 5 hours of solo cross country flying; 1 solo cross country flight of at least 150nm total distance with full stop landings at 3 points; and one segment of at least 50nm between T/O and landings. So he could not have gone on "his first solo flight" after receiving his license. 4 - A new pilot does not have to sign anything. It is the Aviation Examiner that has to sign off the student and give him a temporary license upon satisfactory completion of the private pilot flight test. (00:26:00)

The Gang Gets Gone - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: When the FBI is head to Iceland on the jet you see a rear view of the jet and it has four engines. When the team jumps out of the jet later you see a shot from underneath and it only has two engines. (00:13:15 - 00:25:25)
