Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is slashing at Callisto's staff, it is light purple. When he completely shreds a center portion of it, that portion is blue, and when the shot changes, the rest of the staff is red. Additionally, the center section of the staff has reduced in length after Wolverine shreds it. (00:14:35 - 00:15:03)

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine punches his lefthand claws into the wall, it is at bottom of a slab of concrete, and to the left of where four slabs intersect. When the shot changes, the puncture is now closer to the middle-right area of a slab. (00:13:16)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Leech telekinetically splits up the mob, on his left are a man with a light blue shirt, followed by a man with an orange shirt, and man with a light blue shirt behind him. On his right are a man with a green jacket and yellow shirt, a man with an orange jacket and pink shirt behind him, and lastly, a man with a blue jacket and yellow shirt. When the shot changes, the men have not only swapped sides, but now it is two men in light blue shirts in front of the man in the orange shirt, and the man with the orange jacket and pink shirt is now just wearing an orange shirt, and he is standing in front of the man with the green jacket and yellow shirt, and the man with the blue jacket and yellow shirt is in front of him.

Continuity mistake: When Leech begins to telekinetically steal fruit from the vendor cart, he is stealing a red apple and what appears to be an orange with a yellow peel. When the shot changes, the orange is now orange in color, and as the two pieces of fruit move towards Leech, the orange is on his right, and the apple on his left. When the shot changes, the orange is now yellow in color again, and the fruits have swapped sides. (00:05:52)

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee, Gambit, and Storm are first shown in their bungalow, there is a coffee table with a couple cups near the edge on the viewer's right, and some magazines on the top corner of the same side. A couple of shots later, the cups and magazines have all moved closer to the center of the table. When Gambit sits up, the magazines have disappeared entirely. (00:19:14)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
