All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 1 - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: Before the Roadhouse fire, Ash and Dean are talking on the phone. Ash looks at his watch, on his left hand, it says 8:10, and has a black dial/face. As Dean and Bobby go through the rubble, Dean identifies Ash by his watch. Still on his left hand, it is now upside down, evident by the crown of the watch (used to move the hands of the watch) which previously facing his hand, is now facing his elbow. Also, the dial/face of the watch is now silver instead of black. This is a different watch, and was inadvertently put on the burnt arm upside down.

Bugs - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Sam claims it is 12am and the the bug storm is on its way, but five minutes later the sun is shining. (00:37:00)

Asylum - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Dean reads about the Roosevelt Asylum in his dad's journal, there is a picture of a Wendigo on the opposite page of the newspaper clipping but in a different scene, Dean checks the article again for information on the South Wing in the Asylum but this time on the opposite page of the newspaper clipping, there is no picture.

Home - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: The baby gets into the fridge, which then closes - we see a closeup shot of the babyproofing clip shutting itself. Then when the mother sees the spilled milk and realises what's happened, there are a few shots of the fridge - in shots from the front the clip's open, and in shots from the side it's closed. When she goes to open the fridge it's open again - she even fiddles with it to give the appearance of undoing it before opening the fridge door.

Route 666 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Near The End of the episode when Dean is being chased by the possessed truck, Sam tells him to take a left. After he's made the left, Sam tells him to go exactly 7/10ths of a mile and stop. Dean looks at his gage and it reads 70098.3. Dean looks up, then back at it: it changes to 70098.5, but the next time he looks down it says 70100.6 and when he stops it says 70101.0, meaning he's gone 2 miles too far. (Probably meaning it took two shots to get the scene right but they messed up on the gage.) (00:35:00)

All Hell Breaks Loose: Part 1 - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dean is with Bobby at the burned down Roadhouse and Dean gets Andy's vision about where Sam is, the first time Dean scrunches his face in pain he puts his left hand to his head. The shot changes to a back view and you can tell his left hand is still at his head. But when the shot switches again Dean is bringing his right hand down from his head.

Bloody Mary - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Dean enter the Shoemaker home, a woman leaning against a wall holding a coffee cup starts to follow them down the hall. When the shot changes, the woman is back against the wall, talking to someone who wasn't there in the previous shot. (00:08:00)

Captain Defenestrator

Lazarus Rising - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dean uses the silver knife to cut his arm to prove he is not a shape shifter, a few moments later Dean is showing Bobby the hand print on his arm, and the cut is miraculously gone. (00:13:00 - 00:15:00)

Skin - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Dean are tied up in the sewer, Dean gets out of the ropes holding him and the camera changes to Sam, but in the background you can see Dean with the ropes still around his arms & upper body.

Cybermoose

Playthings - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: In one scene Sam is hung over the toilet from drinking too much with his cast on his left arm. The rest of the show the cast is on his right arm. (00:20:19)

Tombstone - S13-E6

Continuity mistake: Dean drives the Impala to the coroner's house at the same time Sam is driving Castiel and Jack back to the bunker, also in the Impala. (00:31:15 - 00:33:45)

Swap Meat - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: Gary (disguised as Sam) sits at the bar and orders a banana daiquiri. The woman next to him tries to engage him in a conversation as he sips his drink, and each time the camera switches between him and the woman, the level of his drink changes noticeably up and down.

Dead in the Water - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When the Carlton son reaches in to pull the plug out of the sink you can see the plug chain on the cutting board to the left of the sink before he even reaches in, then he pulls it out and puts the plug chain on the board. (00:14:30)

Skin - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Sam is tied up and eventually fights the fake-Dean in Becka's house, there is a shot that shows both his feet and hands tied. During the fight, both his hands and feet are shown free, but he only cut free his hands, and began fighting immediately after that. (00:25:20 - 00:25:55)

Hell House - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: Both Sam and Dean show no signs of bodily damage or harm, even though in the previous episode "Shadow," both brothers were attacked and their faces had been slashed by the shadow demons summoned by Meg.

Suggested correction: First part of the episode, it said "2 months ago" below the place where the episode takes place. So it probably took place before episode 16.

Thats before they showed up when the first group of kids went on the house and found the girl hanging.

Dead in the Water - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When the girl is taking a bath, the water is so full that its almost overflowing. She gets into the tub and the water doesn't overflow. The faucet is still running and yet the water keeps changing from full to down below her shoulders.

Pac-Man Fever - S8-E20

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Sam and Dean enter the abandoned shipping warehouse to save Charlie, you can see Charlie's legs crossed while sitting in one shot, but in the next shot they are uncrossed. (00:27:10)

AlcoholicWaffle

And Then There Were None - S6-E16

Revealing mistake: Samuel is very much dead, laid out on the table in the canning factory employee lounge, but as Sam stands over him, talking about whether or not it was right to gank him, you can see Samuel's chest rising and falling as he breathes. (00:26:30)

Question: Not long after first meeting angels, it is established that they do not have genitals, or "junk" as Dean puts it. But in S06E10 Castiel gets an erection while watching porn and in S08E22, Castiel is required to kill a nephilim, the offspring of an angel and a human. If angels do not have genitals how are these two things possible?

Answer: Angels themselves may not have genitalia, but their vessels do. Nephilim occur when an angel in a vessel reproduces.
