Destiny (2) - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Valenti and Michael see Max and Liz running from the red jeep and the camera angle changes to inside Valenti's car, the car isn't moving - the ground in front can be seen to be stationary. In the next shot it shows Valenti's car just slowing down to stop.

Pilot - S1-E1

Plot hole: In the lab when Liz makes the slides of her cheek cells and the cells from Max's pencil, the first time she doesn't add stain and the second time she does. If she's going to be a molecular biologist she really ought to learn to apply techniques consistently. (00:07:30)

River Dog (2) - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the episode, Isabel walks into Max's room with a photograph. In one shot she switches it to her right hand. Cut back out and it's in her left again. (00:05:55)

Plot hole: Liz first discovers Max's secret due to a science class experiment in which she sees his alien cells; yet later in the series, the four are told by Nesedo that they have human bodies.

Phixius

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant where Max, Michael and Isabel are talking, Max is sitting at the end of the table. Isabel walks up with her food and sits down right next to him. The tables have bench seats, so she can't just sit down - she would have to step high over the bench or sit on the other end and slide next to him. (00:13:05)

Max to the Max - S1-E20

Factual error: When Nasedo kidnaps Liz, he stops in a gas station to leave the FBI another clue. As he is pulling into the station, the sign above the gas pumps misspells the word "brakes" as "breaks."

Heat Wave - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Liz and Alex are in jail and talking through the bars, you can see in several scenes that the bars are evenly spaced about 4 inches apart. Then there is a closeup of Liz and a bar is missing in front of here face. It appears wide enough for her head to fit through. You can see the normal spacing of the bar to our left of her face and the one left of that. It is much more narrow than the ones in front of her. (00:34:00)

TE5LA

Into the Woods - S1-E12

Plot hole: When Michael and River Dog are going through the woods and River Dog trips and breaks his ankle, Michael heals him and has a vision. The problem is, only Max has the ability to heal. This is reinforced in Episode 15 "Independence Day" when Michael goes to Max and asks him to heal the black eye his foster dad gave him. (00:34:19)

TE5LA

The White Room (1) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When Michael is trying to copy the fingerprints of the dead agent, Nasedo uses his power to transform Michael's outfit, which includes a jean jacket, into a suit and tie. When Nasedo hands him the comb, in the shot facing Michael he is in the suit and tie, but in the shot from behind Michael you still see him in the jean jacket. They show these camera angles twice.

Surprise - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Courtney takes the knife off Michael that he is using to ice the cake, the close up shows her taking some cream off the knife with the finger that is on her left hand but when she puts it up to her mouth the cream and the knife has switched hands and also there is twice as much cream on the knife.

Destiny (2) - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Max and Liz climb out of the river at the beginning, they walk through one of two large drainage pipes next to each other. There is only one pipe on the other side. (00:04:45)
