Genderbender - S1-E14

Conduit - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: At The Beginning of the episode Darlene burns her hand trying to open the door, she then puts on an oven mitt and opens the door. If you look closely though she still uses her other naked hand as well as the covered hand to open the door and her naked hand is completely unhurt.

Home - S4-E2

Audio problem: Scully asks the deputy if the vests are necessary and he replies in the same scene. His mouth is way off from his reply. It's likely this is because the show was shown on 4:3 aspect ratio televisions at the time, and he would simply not be visible. Because the show was shot in 16:9, he is very much visible on modern televisions and the mistake is incredibly obvious.

The Walk - S3-E7

Visible crew/equipment: After Lieutenant Colonel Stans (who has severe burns all over his body) kills Leonard Trimble, he turns to the camera, where his bathrobe is not fully covering the burn mask he is wearing, exposing a part of his shoulder and the edge of the mask. (00:42:35)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Peggy is killed on the highway we see her watch and the minute hand is touching the 1. When we see the close up the hand is no longer touching the 1. (00:31:00)

Pilot - S1-E1

Character mistake: The officer is called to the victim in the woods and is shown the 2 burn marks on her back. He then proceeds to touch the skin on the burn marks, thus compromising evidence as he isn't wearing gloves. (00:01:40)

Provenance (1) - S9-E9

4-D - S9-E4

Continuity mistake: When Agent Doggett follows Lukesh into the parallel universe trying to find him, Lukesh suddenly reappears from Doggett's left and is pointing at him with the gun held in the left hand, while in the next shot he is aiming at the agent from his right holding the gun in his right hand.

Dæmonicus - S9-E3

Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, we see the reflection of the Moon in a puddle. The Moon looks exactly as we see it in the sky. The problem is that in the puddle we should see the mirror image of the Moon. (00:00:05)

Trust No 1 - S9-E6

Revealing mistake: When Agent Reyes drives up to Agent Dogget's parked car, he looks in his rearview mirror. Its background should be obviously a transparent windshield to which the mirror is fixed. However, when the camera shows the image seen in the rearview mirror, we see in the background something similar in appearance to a solid wall. (00:10:50)
