Revealing mistake: The shot of Reed stretching out his arm to pull himself into the departing Fantasticar is recycled from the earlier episode The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus: Part 1. (00:12:00)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Annihilus is getting ready to throw his cocoon-like object at the heroes, he is shown lifting it with both arms. When the shot changes to him throwing it, he is only using his right arm, with not enough time having passed for him to lower his left arm. (00:09:25)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Annihilus shoots a beam of energy at the police helicopter, it is all by its lonesome. A couple of shots later, the Hard News helicopter and a third helicopter are suddenly in the same general airspace as the police helicopter. (00:08:12)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12

Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Reed interrupts the infomercial, all the merchandise that was on the table has disappeared. (00:07:06)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Reed is saying "I'm afraid that's only part of the problem. That insectoid creature is loose somewhere in New York," his mouth movement is largely out of sync with the dialogue. (00:05:34)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Alicia is saying "Ben said he had a surprise for me, but what's he doing selling video tapes?", her mouth movement is not in sync with the dialogue. (00:01:59)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Galactus walks up to Doom, Doom's entire body is roughly the same length as Galactus' head from chin to just below the tip of his helmet. When the shot changes, Doom is now roughly the same size as Galactus' mouth. (00:18:31)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Miss Forbes is telling Thing to get out of her way, both are slouching, and she is slightly taller than him. When the shot changes, he is now a few inches taller than her. (00:16:17)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13

The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Miss Forbes is trying to get her dog to eat, the distance between the furniture and the television has dramatically increased from what it was at the beginning of the scene. (00:15:01 - 00:15:34)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13

The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Plot hole: After Doom has stolen Silver Surfer's powers and retreats, Surfer tries to pursue him, but is too weak and falls off his board, and has to be rescued by Reed. Since they were in the vacuum of space, Surfer shouldn't have fallen off his board at all, he would have just floated away from it. (00:12:47)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Factual error: When Doom puts out Johnny's thermite-induced flame, he tells him his body will expand in the vacuum of space until he bursts. While a human body will expand in the vacuum of space, it wouldn't burst, as the skin is elastic enough to hold the body together. (00:12:12)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Reed is confronting Doom, he stretches out towards him. A couple of shots later, he is shown stretching out towards Doom again. (00:10:21)

Continuity mistake: When Alicia is asking Silver Surfer if everyone is in danger, his surfboard is propped against the ground, with the high end about level with his head. A couple of shots later, the board is level with his abdomen. (00:06:52)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Other mistake: When Reed punches the dinosaur, he transforms his hands into what looks like the end of a sledgehammer. While Reed can change the shape of his hands with his stretching ability, he does not have the power to change the color of his skin in the process. (00:03:57)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Ultimo first emerges through the TV screen, you can see that from shoulder to shoulder, he is almost as wide as the rug. When the shot changes, you can see he is now considerably smaller. (00:02:32)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Thing turns on the TV, you can see he and Alicia are sitting several feet away from it. When the electrical interference occurs, they are suddenly sitting much closer to the TV. (00:01:42)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes. There were also some obvious animation compositing gaffs. The animation colors were also criticized as being overly bright and cheery and out of character to the established story's darker tone. The broad humor of the first season was replaced by a more mature narrative between the characters.
