Twin Peaks

Episode Nine - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: The necklace James took from the coconut in Dr. Jacobi's office in the previous episode had a gold chain. When he gives it to Agent Cooper in this episode, it's on leather.

Episode Sixteen - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: When Leland Palmer is locked in the cell he starts screaming and runs headlong into one wall, then the other. The first wall wobbles noticeably on impact, indicating it is being shot on a set.

Episode Sixteen - S2-E9

Plot hole: In the bait and switch section, why does anyone involved agree to Leland being Ben's attorney when both victims are relatives of Leland? Neither Ben nor any of the police are in on Cooper's plan, and it seems implausible at best that they would agree to this.

Episode Sixteen - S2-E9

Character mistake: At the Roadhouse Cooper states that the second victim (Maddy) was found dead two days ago. It has been less than 24 hours since the body was found: he likely means she was murdered two days ago.

Episode Eight (2) - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At One Eyed Jack's, when Agent Cooper and Jacques are sitting and talking there are 2 glasses of beer on the table. In one shot Jacques finishes a glass. When he gets up, both glasses are full. (00:10:20 - 00:11:40)

Episode Sixteen - S2-E9

Plot hole: Harry states that Ben was not arrested until after midnight. However in episode 2.7, the arrest takes place earlier in the evening, shown in establishing shots and the other events which occur afterwards.

Episode Three - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At about 23:21, Dale Cooper is writing on a chalkboard that has the letters R and T on it, not circled. Moments later, at 23:30, the letters are circled, even though Cooper has not marked the board. (00:23:20)

Suggested correction: Actually, there is a cutaway shot to the two policemen, and when the shot changes back to Cooper (with the letters now circled, as you say), he does have the chalk in his hand and then circles the "J." I think it's implied he circled the R and T in the cutaway. There was enough time.

Episode Eight (2) - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Cooper is on the floor after being shot, as he's signing the check, he is doing so with the pen closed, and proceeds to click it open as he hands it back to the room service.

Episode Eighteen - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Nadine decides to lift leg weights beside Mike. She sets it to 600 pounds. However, whenever it changes view to her lifting from the angle of Mike, whenever the coach asks her to join the team, you can see that Nadine is not lifting any weights. (00:19:45)
