IRAC Is Missing - S2-E17

Revealing mistake: When Diana is supposed to cut the power cables to stop the timer, just before she cuts the cable, you can see that all the cables are already cut and have a large, obvious seam in each of them. Then, when her hand goes through them, they all cut right at the seams.

I Do, I Do - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman is chasing the golf cart, in the close-ups, the golf bags are not moving, but in the far-away shot, one golf bag is bouncing all over the place. When they zoom in, it's not moving again.

Knockout - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Diana escapes from the guy who had kidnapped the boy, she runs into the woods wearing a dress. When she starts to turn into Wonder Woman, she is somehow now wearing pants just before she changes into Wonder Woman.

Screaming Javelins - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Diana spins herself into Wonder Woman before she enters the gym. Watch the trash can behind her - it suddenly disappears. Additionally, in the widescreen version, a security guard can be seen standing between the car and metal door, though surely Diana would not transform into Wonder Woman in right front of someone (the guard is not visible in the original fullscreen version). (00:35:45)

The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1

Factual error: When Steve gets attacked by the bad guys and Wonder Woman shows up, the lady in the car pulls out a camera and films the event. She sits still, the car isn't moving, and she does all the filming from the same position. However when she watches the playback, the film shows footage from multiple angles and varying distances, which is impossible because she and the camera were in the same spot the whole time.

The Man Who Could Move the World - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: Steve complains that he can't steer the Jeep. The Japanese doctor is using mind control to keep Steve from being able to control the Jeep. However, in several shots, Steve can easily be seen steering the Jeep despite the doctor's continued control over it.

Knockout - S2-E5

Visible crew/equipment: When the hit-man is loading his gun in the alley in preparation to kill Diana, a crew member is reflected in the storefront "Humburgers" window.

The Bermuda Triangle Crisis - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Steve's parachute moves around, even though it's flat on the ground and no one moved it. After Wonder Woman rescues Steve from the tree, Steve is laying on the ground motionless and unconscious. His parachute moves around between the time Wonder Woman walks away and Diana returns, even though nothing could have moved it. It wouldn't be so obvious, except that the material is red and white, so when it changes, you can really tell.

Screaming Javelins - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When Mariposa is skydiving out of the plane, any time he's seen from afar, he's wearing a black oxygen mask. When the camera is closer to Mariposa, he's not wearing a mask. However, when he lands, he is wearing a mask.

Screaming Javelins - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Wonder Woman rescues Nadia's boyfriend by tossing the two bad guys off screen, you can see the shadow of a stage hand adjusting a prop of some kind. This can be seen directly behind Wonder Woman as she's grabbing the rope to go and tie the two bad guys together.

Anschluss '77 - S2-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Joe Atkinson walks into Steve's office and comments that during WWII he "was wrapped in a cloak and carrying a dagger for the OSS," in the next shot the shadow of the boom mic is moving on the wall, at the top right corner of the screen.

Super Grover

The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: After the steward releases the gas on the jet everyone passes out, and in the second exterior shot of the jet as it rocks from side to side, we can see the circular frame of the window from which the jet was being filmed, at the bottom right corner of the screen (this shot is flipped).

Super Grover

The Return of Wonder Woman - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: During the scenes on the jet with Steve and the others, before landing on Paradise Island and when the Amazon women are aboard, the end of the cabin and cockpit sets are visible at either the right or left side of the screen in some shots. (Widescreen version).

Super Grover

Answer: There is no logical reason. Any normal person would notice these type of absences. The show employs a "suspension of disbelief," which is a literary device where the movie audience or a book reader accepts that certain things are unreal for the sake of the story to be told. It is similar to no-one noticing that Clark Kent looks exactly like Superman because he wears glasses.
