Who Are You? - S1-E4

Stupidity: Magpie in theory has the exploding pearls as diversion for her escape, but the pearls explode all too soon and in a room that she already emptied with the false alarm. Reality is that she has to face already zero security without the pearls being a factor, the moment she presses the alarm button. That's because for some reason every single Crow armed guard went to the exit to help the guests leave (in a most unprofessional way as they further crowd up the exit standing right in the way) and nobody remained behind to remotely keep an eye on the jewels. Also of course there is no alarm whatsoever on the jewelry cases, that can be opened at will. That is a serious joke of a security, and supposedly made by professionals, former navy seals, green berets etc.

How Queer Everything Is Today! - S1-E10

Factual error: Kate fires a grappling hook into the back of the runaway train - it punctures the thin back door easily. She then fires another one backwards which hooks against one of the sleepers on the tracks. The slack gets taken up...and the train jolts to a dead stop as the hooks bite, (with everyone just wobbling on their feet somehow). No way on earth that's possible - the back door would have been torn off/open like a tin can and/or the sleeper would have been yanked out out of the ground, and the train would have ploughed into the station at full speed. Not to mention the fact that only after the train stops does the sleeper apparently give up the ghost and break. The magical supermetal of the train door is somehow still intact.

A Mad Tea-Party - S1-E8

Trivia: While it's not explicitly stated, the Superman from another earth played by Brandon Routh is the one from Superman Returns (and by extension that from the original Superman movies). Aside from the obvious factor of the same actor, he name checks his son Jason, which is what his son with Lois was called in that movie too. His reference to fighting himself relates to Superman 3.

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Question: In flashbacks, Dougray Scott looks noticeably younger than present-day scenes. Is he digitally de-aged, or is it just makeup and soft focus? Or indeed is he just made a bit older and more "grizzled" in the present day scenes?
