The Mind and the Matter - S2-E27
Visible crew/equipment: While Beechcroft talks to his boss in the men's room, the boom shadow moves across the wall at the upper right of the screen. (00:03:35)
The Mind and the Matter - S2-E27
Other mistake: In the office, Beechcroft's Mirror Image's hair is styled like his own, rather than reversed, as a reflection should be. In his bathroom, the hair in The Mirror reflection is correct.
Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up - S2-E28
Continuity mistake: During the scene in the diner between Ross the Martian and Haley the Venusian, there are objects such as a napkin dispenser visible on the counter over the left arm of Haley, which then disappear in the shots over Ross' right arm.
Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up - S2-E28
Plot hole: At the end of the episode, the trooper answers the phone declaring the bridge is safe to cross but the driver is still worried. The trooper says "We'll go on ahead, cross the bridge first." When Mr. Ross returns to the diner, he tells Haley the bridge wasn't safe. It collapsed. The state police car, the bus, everything went into the river with no survivors, except him of course. Here's the problem. The troopers were going to cross the bridge first to check its safety, then let the bus cross (1 vehicle at a time). That means only one vehicle could have made the bridge collapse, not both at the same time. If the police car made it across safely, then the bus caused it to collapse. If the police car caused it to fall, the bus would not have gone anywhere near the bridge. Therefore, the story Ross gives Haley throws off the whole point of the police going across first.
Suggested correction: It's simply a story he made up walking back to the diner. It's clear he caused the bridge to collapse and made sure all the vehicles went in.
Doubtful. He was very clear and precise about everything that happened on that bridge. Besides, he explained exactly how he survived, and the plans of his friends landing soon. There were no more secrets at this point. Why make up the bridge story?
Originally, Ross tried to still convince Haley that he is a human and that he was lucky to be the only survivor. It wasn't until Haley confronted him with the fact that he was totally dry, despite just falling in the water, that he came out clean and admitted he is Martian. Therefore, the false bridge story could be part of his original attempt to conceal who he really is.
Suggested correction: Maybe they decided to change plan and go all together at last moment. Doesn't make sense, I give you that, but it could have happened. Plus, Ross could have used some Martian magic to make both vehicles go on to the bridge at same time. If he can make lights go on and off and jukebox go on and off and have a third hand, we can safely assume he can do more magic.
Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up - S2-E28
Revealing mistake: As the Venutian asks the Martian to play music, the edges of the fake skin around the third eye is visible.
The Arrival - S3-E2
Other mistake: As part of the story line, three men see different tail numbers on the plane. However, the first and third sets of numbers are printed on a big sticker, because the numbers are a different style than the second set. Also, they used two different planes. The second tail number is N67588, which should be on the bottom of the wing, but that number is N107932.
Continuity mistake: When the Union soldier arrives on the horse, Lavinia points a shotgun at him, holding it at chest level. But when the shot cuts, she suddenly has it up to her cheek. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: When Fats makes his shot to set up the last ball for Jesse, the cue ball stops on the bumper side of the dot. When Jesse goes to take the shot, the cue ball is closer to the side pocket he's leaning over.
The Mirror - S3-E6
Visible crew/equipment: Clemente walks over to the portrait of the former ruler, and throws his glass. Just as he completes the action, the camera looks at the portrait. There is a movement of what appears to be a device on the right side of the shot firing the glass.
Continuity mistake: The events shown are supposed to take place at almost exactly midnight, yet when Conny goes to the graveyard the sky is bright and everything is well lit, much brighter than moonlight. Just as he enters the graveyard there is an abrupt change in lighting and the scene is suddenly much darker.
Revealing mistake: As Connie approaches the graveyard the sky in the background is obviously a painted backdrop, as there is a visible seam.
Continuity mistake: During the birthday party scene, as the close-ups and master shot are intercut, Anthony's hair changes back and forth from being combed straight forward to parted on the left and combed to the side. (00:15:10)
Continuity mistake: The captain goes to "Block 6" which we see is the 1st floor with stairs which are in line with the porch, but when he leaves the stairs go off at a 90 degree angle from the porch. (00:04:50 - 00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: The Block 6 door is closed all throughout the video, then when Captain runs towards the door it's opened. (00:07:55 - 00:14:55)
Continuity mistake: Becker is standing on the porch at "Block 6" and there are no handrails. When we return to Becker he is in the center of the square area and in the background handrails are there. (00:07:55)
Continuity mistake: Block 6 looks to have a no cardboard over the window beside the "Block 6" sign. Then later on they have cardboard there. (00:12:20 - 00:14:55)
Revealing mistake: In the window there are already broken areas where the glass gets broken when Captain hits it. On the bottom pane the grill on the top, bottom and right have a crack before the Captain even hits it. (00:19:00)
Deliberate mistake: The signs at Dachau Concentration Camp are in English.
Factual error: The premise for this episode has a major flaw: the only things that could shift the Earth's orbit significantly are a near passage of or a collision with an astronomical body of sufficient size to alter the course of a body weighing 6.6 sextillion tons - the mass of the Earth. Either event would cause sufficient disturbances that cities would probably not be left standing, nor would there be anyone left to stay in or flee from them. While the events of the episode are mostly a dream, the revelation is that the earth is actually moving away from the sun, not towards it, so the mistake applies regardless.
Suggested correction: The Earth's orbit moves outward and away from the Sun about 1.5cm every year. Eventually though the Earth will lose orbital energy and spiral into the Sun. Norma and the rest of Earth exist in a time when the planet has moved away from the Sun.
Revealing mistake: Many of the "frozen" Union soldiers can be seen blinking, breathing and wavering in place amidst their regiment. (00:07:30)
