Castle

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the cops tear down the board with the serial killer case, you can see already next to the lawyer the note in grey ink that says that the object used to suffocate him was wrong, which is a conclusion Bishop comes to later in the case resolution, with the notes on the other two victims in the same ink.

Sammo

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After talking to Alexis at the end of the episode, Castle closes his laptop and puts it on the desk. He looks for the picture frame, and in the background you can see in two shots that the laptop is open. Wider angle, it's closed again. (00:40:15)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Castle and Beckett are walking with Mr. Peterson asking him about the possible affair. He says that she was making "Us" dinner; there's a woman in the background, grey coat and a scarf. The scarf changes position at the cut when they call him out on the pronoun. (00:20:25)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Interviewing Chloe, the protagonists tell her that Sara's ex thought she had a new guy. Look at the cyclist in the background (that already made an appearance earlier); he reappears in the next shot as she goes "Uhm...", and he moved backwards. (00:18:15)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Castle is on a break at home. Alexis asks him "Who got killed today?" He's putting the cap on a spice dispenser, empty. When she follows with "Do they know who did it?" the dispenser refilled. He then puts it down, but it's back in his hands at the cut. (00:09:10)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the poker game with the other authors, Stephen J. Cannell says "You're bluffing, Patterson." The way he holds the cards differs in the two shots. It happens again later after Patterson says that he wouldn't put a bullet in Alex Cross 's head. (00:22:40)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Castle repeats incredulous "A week?" when Beckett tells him how long it'll take for the print results to come out. The cop sitting by confirms nodding, and has both arms on the desk. Reverse angle, and the left arm is off the desk, and back to both as it goes back to the previous angle. (00:16:15)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Castle's mum is rather unapologetic about her leaking the compromising antics of her son in underwear, and talks to him patting him on the chest. She says "it's expected" and pulls her hands back, but they are still open in front of his chest in the next shot. (00:04:55)

Sammo

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Castle approaches his mother and daughter at the bar and orders "a hit of the bubbly." He kisses his daughter; there is one open notebook stacked on top of a closed red one. The angle changes and the open notebook shifted off the closed one. (00:04:35)

For Better or Worse - S6-E23

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, the Mercedes S class that is burning is not the same car that Castle drove previously in the episode, it's an older model one. Either it's a mistake or has to do something with the plot resolution, decide yourselves...

Reality Star Struck - S5-E14

Question: Before this episode, there was a Christmas episode "Secret Santa" and then there was "Significant Others" with Meredith showing up to take care of Alexis. In that episode, Beckett mentions choosing the movie Valentine's Day for a date night, causing her to lose a turn. In this episode, Castle and Beckett are celebrating their first Valentine's Day together. So, are they celebrating Valentine's Day twice? This wasn't too long after the Christmas episode and when Beckett made her movie choice, no snow was on the ground. Is this a mistake or is this really their first Valentine's Day together?

Answer: The networks are now having winter breaks. A mid season end of new episodes, when they come back after the new year, it picks up as if several months have gone by. Beckett suggested Valentine's Day as a "chick flick" to watch as she is moved in. Also some episodes are not scheduled to air in order.
