The Hot Troll Deviation - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: When Leonard and Howard are talking at the University, Leonard says "Oh my god you ran over a hobo!" when he does so Howard is not holding his fork, camera cuts and he suddenly has his fork in his hand. (00:05:15)
The Hot Troll Deviation - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: When Sheldon and Raj are arguing about having a desk in Sheldon's office, Sheldon's bottle of water keeps rotating without anyone touching it - take note of the label. The level of water in Sheldon's drink also keeps changing between shots. (00:06:20)
The Hot Troll Deviation - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: When Howard and Bernadette are talking in the Cheesecake Factory, her apron that she puts on the table is constantly changing position. (00:12:30)
The Hot Troll Deviation - S4-E4
Factual error: During the final scene of this episode, Sheldon steps out of his office wearing a gas mask and engages Leonard in conversation where he then states he is making hydrogen sulphide gas (more commonly known as H2S). Leonard correctly identifies this as highly flammable. However, this gas is far more dangerous and is harmful to the human body at as low a concentration as 20 parts per million (ppm), can cause permanent damage at 100ppm and is fatal after two breaths at 500ppm. So for Raj (and his bird) to be completely unharmed in a high concentration of H2S (noted by the fire) is impossible.
The Hot Troll Deviation - S4-E4
Factual error: Howard's claim that characters in World of Warcraft can engage in sexual activities is wrong, also while there is a Bridge of Souls currently in the game, there is no way to get under it.
Suggested correction: I can only assume you have never played on a RP server? ERP is a big thing, some players even make gold from it.
The Irish Pub Formulation - S4-E6
Continuity mistake: As Raj, Howard and Sheldon are sitting at the table discussing leaving Priya alone while Leonard and Priya are away from the table, a water bottle sitting in front of Raj moves back and forth between his tray and Leonard's tray.
The Apology Insufficiency - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: When Sheldon is drink his shots, the amount in his shot glass increases before he takes final shots.
The Boyfriend Complexity - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: In 2-15 "The Maternal Capacitance" Penny explains to Beverly, referring to her father, "My mom could have just said 'Bob, get over it, she's a girl'". But in this episode Penny's father is named Wyatt.
The Justice League Recombination - S4-E11
Character mistake: Even with Penny and Zack the guys are one man short to be the original JLA because they they don't have the Martian Manhunter. If they used the same costumes in the previous year, they would have been three people short of the original line-up.
The Thespian Catalyst - S4-E14
Revealing mistake: When Sheldon goes to Penny's apartment and they do a scene study together, they both read lines from a multi-page script that Sheldon brings with him. On a couple of occasions the camera cuts to a side view of Sheldon and we get to see the page of the script that he's currently reading from. The pages are completely blank.
The Benefactor Factor - S4-E15
Continuity mistake: When Sheldon and Leonard are in the kitchen discussing Leonard's upcoming night out with Mrs. Latham, there's a plastic bottle of orange juice on the table that keeps disappearing and reappearing as the camera switches between Sheldon and Leonard.
Suggested correction: The bottle is there every time, a few times because of the camera angle it is hidden by Sheldon.
The bottle of OJ is right next to a container of Coffee Mate, both items always visible when the bottle of OJ is present. When the OJ is not present, only the Coffee Mate is there, near enough the center of the table to not possibly be blocked out by either Sheldon nor Leonard.
No it is not right next to the coffee Mate, there is some distance with a phone in between. You can sometimes see the bottle behind Sheldon when he moves.
The Cohabitation Formulation - S4-E16
Character mistake: When Penny says she smells Chinese food and Sheldon corrects her by telling her she's slipping because it's Thai, Sheldon is eating the food with chopsticks, even though in a previous episode he uses a fork and spoon because that's how Thai people eat their food. (00:19:15)
The Cohabitation Formulation - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When Penny is pouring water into the glasses on the table after first meeting Raj's sister. The level of water in the pitcher changes between shots.
The Prestidigitation Approximation - S4-E18
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode, in the canteen scene, Howard shows the card trick to Sheldon again. The card at the bottom of the deck is the 2 of hearts as he takes them from the box. Sheldon then takes this card from near the top of the deck when Howard puts them on the table. The deck is not shuffled between times.
The Prestidigitation Approximation - S4-E18
Continuity mistake: It is well-known that Leonard's glasses do not have lenses to avoid catching reflection by the lights. In this episode, Priya takes Leonard's glasses off, and they have lenses.
The Zarnecki Incursion - S4-E19
Plot hole: If Howard can hack into Blizzard's database so deeply that he can get the name and address of game players, he could easily restore all of Sheldon's stolen 'items'. Hacking personal details - a player's real identity and their home address! - is hardcore, detailed work that only an expert could do, compared to which adding a few extra items to a player in the game would be child's play. Sheldon would not be concerned about a possible comeback from the administrators at Blizzard. First, Sheldon doesn't hack into the database, Howard does, and someone as pragmatic and self-centred as Sheldon would simply disclaim any responsibility. Second, hacking into another player's account to access highly sensitive personal information like their home address would risk incurring the same penalty from Blizzard anyway. Either Sheldon doesn't know that or he doesn't care. Third, his account has already been hacked when the virtual items were stolen. He could simply claim that Howard's hacking into his account was just more of the same - nothing to do with him. Fourth, Blizzard did not detect the hacker stealing Sheldon's virtual items, nor did they prevent it happening, and they did not detect Howard hacking into his account to obtain his name and address. Sheldon can rightly assume he has nothing to fear.
Suggested correction: Hacking the database to return items to Sheldon's account would also be traceable to Sheldon's account as cheating. That would get him permabanned if discovered, not a risk Sheldon wants to take.

Second, hacking into another player's account to access highly sensitive personal information like their home address would risk incurring the same penalty from Blizzard anyway. Either Sheldon doesn't know that or he doesn't care. Besides, if Blizzard were aware that Howard had hacked into Sheldon's account, why weren't they aware that the person who stole the virtual items did?
Reading information from a server is easier than writing new data into it. You can steal a mass bulk of files and extract the information at a later time, whereas writing information in Sheldon's account would take much more precision.
The Zarnecki Incursion - S4-E19
Plot hole: While it would certainly destroy the entire plot of the episode, Sheldon could have simply contacted Blizzard's customer support to get all his stuff back.
The Zarnecki Incursion - S4-E19
Character mistake: As they drive to Todd Zarnecki's to confront him, Sheldon says, "I almost feel sorry for the poor fool, sitting in his split-level suburban ranch..." Architecturally, split-level (technically three levels joined by half flights of stairs) and ranch (single level) are separate and distinct designs. There is no "fusion" of the two. I can't help but think Sheldon would have corrected anyone who said the same thing.
Suggested correction: Actually the term "split level ranch" is used to describe a house that has one full floor above ground and a partial lower level, vs the traditional split level house which has a full floor above ground, a second partial floor and a partial lower level.
The Herb Garden Germination - S4-E20
Other mistake: When Sheldon and Leonard are playing Archery on Wii Sports Resort, Sheldon presses the Z button on the nunchuck controller to fire the arrow, which is incorrect. When Leonard plays, he holds the Z button as he prepares to fire, then releases the Z button to fire, which is the correct controls. (00:03:00)
The Herb Garden Germination - S4-E20
Revealing mistake: When Sheldon is web chatting with Amy, we can hear Amy talking, but the bar at the top of Sheldon's computer screen indicates that the sound is off.
