Chapter Four: The Body - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Right after Nancy puts together the torn photo of Barb at the pool it cuts to Dr. Brennan and crew in hazmat suits. At the beginning of the shot when they try to reach Shepard on the comms, the digital clock reads 6:54:08. After Brennan says "Try him again.", the shot has the clock blurred in the background as 6:40 something, and a bit later it reads 6:40:55. (00:27:20 - 00:27:54)

Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt - S3-E8

Factual error: Because of the way radios work, when Suzie and Dustin are singing their duet they wouldn't be able to hear each other and the rest of the party would only hear a garbled mess. Per frequency only one radio should transmit at each time, so all the others can receive. If multiple radios are transmitting simultaneously, the signals will overlap and result in unintelligible noise. (00:35:53)

Chapter Eight: Papa - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: Eleven makes the helicopter fall from the sky and blow up some army vehicles. Within a cut, it's much earlier in the day as the sun is right above her. Prior to this, it was lower in the sky and returns that way as she and the rest of the crew are driving away.

Chapter One: MADMAX - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Will is in the hospital, talking about being frozen, they cut to the hallway and the lights on the suspended ceiling are 2' x 4' LED lights that didn't come out until the 2000s.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: There is nothing to indicate they are LED lights. They appear to be translucent panels illuminated by fluorescent lights.

Chapter Seven: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab - S4-E7

Plot hole: The upside down should be mirrored, i.e. all left is right and right is left. When the team finds a gateway where Chrissy died, they should be seeing a mirror image through the ceiling. Also, all buildings should have been reversed. Directions to get there on the bike would have been confusing and reversed, and when any writing was seen in the upside down, it would have been backward.
