False Flag - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Evelyn she picks up her glass and brings it to her mouth. When switching to a different angle her glass is back on the table, and she has her hands on her lap.

False Flag - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: While the team is driving to drop Doug off at the Attorney General's office, there are multiple times that the camera shows Michael riding with Fiona in the trailing car, however when they arrive she is alone and Michael is on the roof behind Evelyn. (00:36:20 - 00:37:25)

Trust Me - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to Barry, Barry's hands change position with each shot. On the table, folded together, holding his glass, etc.

Loose Ends (2) - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Michael is on the phone with the heroin dealer at the docks, he has his phone at his left ear. When the camera moves to a shot from the back, there's no phone near his face (or in the frame for that matter) and his mouth doesn't move while talking. When the shot cuts back, the phone instantly is back at his ear.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: This basically happens in nearly every episode. Whenever Michael's mom is smoking, which she does a lot, her cigarette and smoke change size and position with every shot. Although it's hard to keep a cigarette burning the same way with each take, it seems as if no attempt was made at all.

End Run - S3-E3

Audio problem: When Michael is forced to do "errands" for Brennen, they stop by Jonathan Carver's house to get numbers from him for a voice key. The code played back at the facility is 71348. He says "3" in a medium pitch (tone) at the house, but it is high pitched when played back at the facility; he says "8" in a medium pitch, and it's also high pitched later. And finally he says "9" in a low pitch and it's played back medium pitch. Also very obvious is the fact that Jonathan never says "1" or "7."

Trivia: At the beginning of every show you'll see an on-screen credit for Consulting Producer Michael Wilson. Not only is this the name upon which the name Michael Westen was based, this person is a real former spy that was burned and helps keep the information and stories in the show accurate.

Season 7 generally

Question: How do Jesse and Sam intend to continue as P.Is, when their faces were broadcast over the state news? Undercover/stealth work is torpedoed by that.
