The Dresden Files

Soul Beneficiary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Dresden is missing, and Murphy comes to his office for clues. The right side window shade on the front door is pulled all the way down, and still is when Murphy leaves. But when she returns with a rescued Dresden at the end, the right door shade is halfway up, even though no one has been there to raise it. (00:40:30)

What About Bob? - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the end, Justin's doppelganger lies down in the coffin and "dies," leaving the lid open. The camera then cuts to a wider shot - and the coffin lid has somehow closed itself. (00:37:00)

Hair of the Dog - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: As Harry talks to Murphy from inside the jail cell, his arms are wrapped around two bars with a third bar in the center. When the shot cuts to a wider angle, his arms are no longer draped through the bars: he's instantly standing straighter and holding onto the center bar with both hands. When it cuts back, he's in his original position again. (00:20:05)

Hair of the Dog - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After Bob's ghost is summoned in the park, Dresden walks off screen right, carrying Bob's skull in both hands. But in the next shot, the skull has vanished. Dresden has neither a bag nor pockets large enough to have put it in. (00:07:00)

Soul Beneficiary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Dresden locks the double doors to his office, the window blind on the right is rolled up higher than the left one. But when he turns to talk to Bob, the left blind is suddenly several inches higher than the right one. (00:41:30)

Bad Blood - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When he's in Arvin's apartment with Bianca, Dresden's hair gets mussed and is standing up in tufts at several points on his head. Between takes, though, it neatly combs itself. (00:29:40)

Rules of Engagement - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Karen hits Dresden with a glass bottle, striking him on the back of the neck. But in the next scene, he's holding a cold compress to a wound on the side of his forehead. (00:25:30)

Rules of Engagement - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Sarota the hellion leaps through the window, and all the glass breaks out. The shot changes to an inside view, and two large portions of window glass now remain in the frame. (00:09:00)

What About Bob? - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the end, Justin's doppelganger lies down in the coffin and "dies," leaving the lid open. The camera then cuts to a wider shot - and the coffin lid has somehow closed itself. (00:37:00)
