Show generally

Continuity mistake: Sheriff Carter has only one Jeep Cherokee for his staff. It constantly changes from a 1989 to a 1990 model throughout the series. This can be caught easily by looking at the triangular window near the hinge on the front doors. Jeep removed the tilting hinges on the window after the 1989 year was discontinued. This happens throughout season one and two.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Cobb loses his leg, Allison looks down and we see his leg back from the edge of the hole. The camera moves and we see his leg right next to the hole.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Zoe are walking into town, the camera is behind them and there are people walking on the sidewalk towards them. The shot changes to alongside them, then when it cuts back the people have vanished.

Bowling255

Pilot - S1-E1

Other mistake: When the parents freak out about Brian being missing, the back of the camper is shown, as is the part of the camper that's missing due to the distortion sphere. But it doesn't make sense; there are some parts of of the camper that shouldn't be there, mainly the one piece above the ground, where the sphere scorched the pavement but left the camper's end right above it completely intact.

Invincible - S1-E5

Factual error: Henry Deacon says people only use 10% of their brain at any one time. That's complete garbage - at times we may use quite a small part of our brains, other times the whole brain lights up with activity. The "10%" myth has absolutely no basis in fact - no-one even seems to know where this figure came from! Given the intelligence of Eureka's residents, Henry (and indeed others in the room) would know this.

Suggested correction: The episodes in the first season were aired out of order. The previous episode that showed the traffic light was produced after "Blink."

Bishop73

The light is in every episode including the first one.

Bowling255

Then I would suggest trying to submit a screen shot because I never saw the traffic light on Main and Archimedes in the first episode.

Primal - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Series 1, Episode 9: Primal. As Carter and Taggart are crawling through the access tunnel, the torch attached to the side of Taggart's goggles is pointing downwards, below his line of vision as established by the lenses on the front. As the shot changes to a close-up on Taggart, the torch is now pointing forwards, aligned with the lenses. (00:13:50)

Primal - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: When we first see the army of Starks outside Global Dynamics, it's quite obvious that only one of them is actually the actor that plays Stark; the others are merely people who look similar.

Phoenix Rising - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Taggart shoots the pile of skin grafts, it explodes, covering him, Jack, and Jo in guts. There's nothing on Tag's shoulder at first, but after a couple of shots, there is now a slab of skin on his right shoulder.

Phoenix Rising - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Allison video calls Jack as he's finishing bathing, apparently she can see below the belt, as she remarks for him to cover himself up. But he gets dressed and doesn't move any reasonable distance from the screen, and we then see Allison's view which only captures Jack's torso, so she never would have seen his privates anyway.

Try, Try Again - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: When Carter and Jo talk to Fargo in the cage, the first clip has him floating in mid-air. Then, the force field expands. It cuts away, and when it goes back to Fargo, they didn't remove the rig he was sitting on to make him float in the first shot.

Maneater - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When the toilet at the Sheriff's Office explodes, it slides out into the main office, with no smoke coming from it. Two shots later, it is now emanating smoke.

Knever

Marshall Jack Carter: Let's not shoot the crazy end-of-the-world machine just yet.

Chosen answer: He's still around, we've just not seen him lately, as scenes with Blake have been mainly at work, where Kevin wouldn't be.
