Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Melinda is at the VFW trying to get information on Paul Evans, she and Joe are alone with his wife's ghost, and after Joe tells Melinda that she can come by anytime for scintillating conversation, it cuts to a shot facing her and we can see equipment movement at the bottom right side of the screen.

The Crossing - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: After Hank Dale tells Steve Pinkus that he wants to know "How it feels to get away with murder," Hank throws a punch, and in the next wide shot we can see the second cameraman's arms holding an additional camera, presumably to film the close-up, at the right side of the screen. (00:32:35)

On the Wings of a Dove - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Joseph wants proof that Melinda sees Julian, the boy asks Melinda to describe the tattoo behind his father's right ear, and we see a close-up of the white dove tattoo that Julian got after his son's birth. Then, while Julian whispers to his son, there is no tattoo behind his left ear, but as Julian walks backwards toward Jim the white dove tattoo is now visible. (00:37:40)

Voices - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show when Jim is making toast they show him through the window taking the toast out of the toaster and putting it on the plate. In the next shot he is walking towards the kitchen table and the plate is empty. Then while talking to his mother he picks up a piece of toast to put jelly on it.

Voices - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Melinda is driving to Clark's house when she is shown from a distance she is wearing a red hat. When they show her close up she is not wearing a hat.

Last Execution - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Melinda's hair is caught in the garbage disposal, she reaches for the switch and it is in the down position. When it switches back to her and then back to the switch, it is now in the up position.

The One (2) - S1-E22

Other mistake: The captain talks about the "outflow valve", which has a distinctive rectangular shape and is fitted flush with an opening in the aircraft skin. It would be immediately recognizable by any crew member because it part of the walkaround inspection before each flight. He is holding a round pneumatic supply valve instead, which is part of the internal ductwork.

The One (2) - S1-E22

Other mistake: The tail and nose section of the crashed plane are from a 737, which has only a single axle on each landing gear. Landing gear with dual axles, from a much larger plane, can be seen in several scenes.

The One (2) - S1-E22

Factual error: The tail section of the crashed plane is from an early model 737, based on the curvature where the forward edge of the vertical stabilizer meets the top of the fuselage. The maximum seating capacity would have been about 130 passengers, while the number of crash victims was given as approximately twice that.

Love Never Dies - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Melinda is walking to Andrea's apartment and is stopped by a news crew for an interview, she gives her interview and says "We're going to be okay" at the end of it. In the scene in Seattle where someone that knows her sees her interview on TV, her interview is different in that her manner is completely different and happier and she says "we'll be okay" at the end instead.

Giving Up the Ghost - S2-E10

Other mistake: The show was supposed to be on the East Coast, however you can see a reflection of a California Flag in Melinda's front windshield. (00:09:35)

Giving Up the Ghost - S2-E10

Character mistake: Jim tells Melinda a story of how he and his father watched a baseball game in which Reggie Jackson hit four home runs in one game. The largest amount of home runs that Reggie Jackson ever hit in one game was in the final game of the 1977 World Series, in which he hit a total of three home runs.

Deja Boo - S2-E13

Other mistake: When Rick suggests that the ghost may have had multiple personality disorder and that's why he's appearing as different people, Melinda says this isn't possible, because when someone dies they're free from all afflictions they had when they were alive. In season 2 episode 4, "The Ghost Within", the featured ghost has autism and is not able to verbally communicate or make eye contact with Melinda and we never see him freed from this mental affliction.

Show generally

Question: At the end of the episode, where Melinda helps that lady (who meets the guy who got her dead fiance's heart), what was the man at the end of the episode (who was laughing and seemed to be a spirit) supposed to be about?

Answer: This "spirit" appears in several episodes throughout the rest of the season including the season finale. He's a "bad spirit" that is intent on keeping souls trapped on Earth. With the death of Andrea (her business partner) he wanted to make a deal with Melinda, to give him HER soul to release everyone else including Andrea to cross over.
