Graduation Day - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When Trish Tilby is giving the news report, she is first shown to be in front of a gray news van. When the shot changes and for the rest of the report, she is standing in front of a blue screen. (00:05:30 - 00:06:45)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit jumps out of the ventilation shaft, there is no one around him. Then he is suddenly surrounded by guards who could not have converged on him so quickly unless they appeared out of thin air. (00:10:00)

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)

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.
