Mr. Garrity and the Graves - S5-E32

Revealing mistake: When the town's people are waiting for Garrity's arrival at midnight, we hear an old clock informing everybody it is midnight and they all turn around to see. But look at the time on the clock - you can quite clearly see that it is actually five minutes till 6 o'clock.

The Lonely - S1-E7

Factual error: Corey is in solitary confinement on an asteroid. However, asteroids are neither large enough nor stable enough to hold an atmosphere. In addition, the distance from earth stated in the episode wouldn't be much further than the moon; there are no asteroids in a stable, regular orbit around the the moon or the earth, nor around the sun anywhere that close to earth.

Hocus-Pocus and Frisby - S3-E30

Revealing mistake: Make-up for the space aliens was apparently changed after the closing scene in the store was shot and before any footage of the aliens' "true appearance" was actually taken. This resulted in Frisby, who is now telling the truth and finding no one to believe him, saying that the aliens had a single eye in their foreheads, when in fact, the aliens each had two eyes, in the traditional location.

The Trouble with Templeton - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: At Freddie's speakeasy, when Laura lifts Barney's script from the table, she begins to fan herself. In the wide shot, the script's titled top page with corner diagonal stripes is gripped under Laura's four fingers, with the blank back page at her thumb. It cuts to a close-up, and now the script is gripped in Laura's hand the opposite way, with the top page at her thumb (the back page is blank).

Where is Everybody? - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ferris enters the cafe and announces they have a customer, he still has the stick in his right hand. He lays the stick on the counter as he begins to climb across. As the camera pans, and then back as he gets on the counter, a menu is now covering the stick.

The Lonely - S1-E7

Other mistake: The supply crew arrives at the asteroid every 3 months, as established by the dialogue between Corry and the astronauts who bring him the female robot. However, Corry's narration reveals that he has been living with the robot for 11 months when the next supply ship arrives.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, The main character is driving a car and hits a bicyclist and kills him. The inside shots from the car show the driver's window closed. The outside shots show the driver's window open.
