Supernatural

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

Scarecrow - S1-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When Dean thanks the professor before leaving the room, you can see the second camera pan down on the left side of the screen before it cuts to that camera's view. (00:28:40)

The Benders - S1-E15

Factual error: Officer Kathleen looks for Sam's data in her database. The record ID is DF-23094. She then follows the link to Dean's record. Its record ID is also DF-23094. A database cannot have two records with the same ID.

Fresh Blood - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: Sam takes the SIM card out of his phone so it can't be tracked, but when he takes the back off his phone, there's no battery, and the SIM card is just lying in the back not attached to anything! Same for Dean's - he takes the back off and the card just falls right out, not secured in any way as it would be in a real phone.

Jon Sandys

Home - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Sam tells the little girl to take her brother outside. The little girl runs out with her brother and Dean asks the little girl where Sam is, Dean runs to the Impala and grabs a shotgun. When Dean is running to the house, he runs on the lawn and you can see the shadow of the camera man running with Dean at the bottom of the screen.

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)

Fan Fiction - S10-E5

Plot hole: Marie says at the beginning that Chuck quit writing after Swan Song (season 5). Later she says she hates the "Metastories" which don't happen until season 9. She couldn't have known about the Metastories since those books were not published.

Suggested correction: I was mistaken about what a 'meta-story' is when I wrote this. A meta-story is when the characters refer to their own fictional state. I thought it was referring to the Metatron stories.

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.

Show generally

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.
