I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Kai is flying his dragonfly space craft towards an enemy ship in the beginning with his wingmen as they sing. Kai's shadow is cast on the wall behind him on his left, but when the camera cuts to a close up of him, his shadow is suddenly on the other side. (00:02:05)

Continuity mistake: His Shadow's ship, The Fore Shadow, begins to blast the Brunnen-G planet and the shots hit the surface causing massive instant damage seen and heard from space. Each hit charring the ground. When the camera cuts back to the planet a few shots later as the ship continues to fire, the destroyed areas of the planet from before have all moved around, with the giant char marks being inconsistent in where they landed. (00:02:25 - 00:03:10)

Continuity mistake: Kai orders his squadron to bring up their stingers on their bug ships, and in a side angle shows them curling up like a scorpion stinger. It then cuts to a close up of one stinger opening and it suddenly changes shape a little. In the side angle it looking more like a shark head with a visible hump on the bottom side, to being almost a perfect round football like shape in the close up. Also the space gas around the ship changes from green to white between shots. (00:02:35)

Continuity mistake: Kai tells his squadron to have good luck and his mouth is hanging open a little after he says that. Then it cuts to a close up before he says "very very good luck" and suddenly his mouth is fully closed before he speaks. (00:02:50)

Continuity mistake: As Kai's squadron swoops in to fire their 'stingers' at His Shadow's ship, only 3 of the 6 are shown flying at the control pod. But in the next shot as they fly past it with their stingers hitting, it's 4 of them flying away. (00:03:00)

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Kai and his squadron fire their stingers at His Shadow's ship, and it shows the missile like things heading towards part of it with large cable like structures interconnecting the pieces. When the angle cuts as they hit, the explosions appear in huge size instantly and the positions of these cables change quite a bit. (00:03:05)

Continuity mistake: In the prisoner transport ship after the crew wakes up, one goes down a ladder to check on the prisoners to find Number 11 freeze dried. In the first shot, the dead prisoner's arm is casting a shadow to the left, but when the angle changes the shadow is to the right of his arm. (00:09:05)

Continuity mistake: There are four other nuts lying on the ground around the hole at the feet of the 790 Robot where Stanley had been trying to throw them into the hole. When talking with the prisoner transporter woman, he throws another nut at the hole and makes it in, and in the close up of the hole the nut that was the furthest to the right vanishes while the other three remain in the same spot. (00:11:40 - 00:13:00)

Continuity mistake: When Stanley is trying to bounce nuts and bolts off a 790 Unit's butt into a vent like hole in the ground, it shows the robot standing with its feet next to the hole and aligned with it nearly centered perfectly. When it cuts to a different angle from a distance, the robot is now standing a bit to the right. Also the hole appears to change. (00:11:40)

Continuity mistake: While Stanley is at his post as a guard, a woman comes onto his screen requesting clearance for a prisoner transport dock. Stanley puts his hand up onto his mouth thinking, but when the camera cuts to an angle showing the front of him, his arms are both suddenly down at his side. (00:11:55)

Continuity mistake: After the Prisoner Transport Line Major gives the wrong access code, Stanley puts his arm up and rests his hand on the table next to him.

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As the current host for His Shadow is dying, the Clerics are rushing him towards the temple structure for the Divine Predecessors and towards the foremost column to perform the transference operation. In the shot showing all the columns as they rush towards it, the bottom of the closest one is normal like the rest. When the camera cuts to a side angle as the Clerics reach the base, there are suddenly doors and curtains there with three other Clerics standing at the ready. (00:14:20)

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As the prisoner transport ship is unloading in a shot from behind Stanley at his station, several of the prisoner frame things holding them are being moved along the line. And Xev can be seen back a ways in the line, identifiable by her fat body in the white wedding dress. There are at least six other prisoners on the line in front of her. But then as the line stops when reaching the Holo Court, Xev is suddenly second in line with only one person before her. The woman in the blue body suit is still behind her though so she also moved up to be third in line. (00:22:20 - 00:23:10)

Continuity mistake: As the prisoner line is moving, it shows Xev with a guy in front of her who's very skinny and wearing a black hat. When they reach the Holo Court the guy in front of her is suddenly a different guy, who's fatter and has no hat on. (00:22:35 - 00:23:15)

Continuity mistake: As the prisoners are being moved off the transport and are strapped to these large metal frames, the frames move along a railing in a fixed position to each other, and also have a chain linked between each one running along the railing. One of the prisoners recognizes Stanley and starts shouting when his frame breaks loose. The camera shows a close up of the bar connecting his frame to the railing as some parts break out of it before it falls, and the chain that is connecting them has vanished. (00:22:50)

Continuity mistake: As the front of the prisoner line reaches the Holo Court, a 790 Unit is pushing some equipment out towards them to read their memories and stops, waiting for the first to reach him. But then a few shots later as the line stops, the same 790 unit is suddenly pushing the equipment to that spot once again, and also his shadow cast in front of the line disappears. (00:23:05)

Quantom X

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: On the prisoner transport line, they are each held in a fixed position in the line as they move along the railing towards the Holo Court. The man between Xev and the woman dressed in blue falls off the rails and is splattered on the ground, leaving a gap in the line between Xev and the blue woman. When they are shown again as the first person reaches the Holo Court, there is suddenly no gap between these two women. (00:23:15)

Audio problem: As the Fore Shadow is charging up its blast each time, when first shown it makes a high pitched shrieking sound as the energy spreads across The Web of cables fanning out from it. However as the battle continues, this sound effect becomes very inconsistent when it plays in correlation to the energy blasts charging up on the ship. (00:02:15 - 00:03:20)

Kai: I killed mothers with their babies. I've killed great philosophers, proud young warriors, and revolutionaries. I've killed the evil, the good, the intelligent, the weak, and the beautiful. I have done this in the service of His Divine Shadow and his predecessors, and I have never once shown any mercy. (01:20:50)

Show generally

Question: How in blazes do 790 and the other robot heads, when they are attached to cyborg bodies, eat, drink and breathe for their biological bodies? I never see anything like either a functional nose/air intake or functional jaw and mouth (for food intake, as opposed to speech) for these things. I never see any such bio-interface on the bottom of 790's head when he is held upside-down etc... Also, what is the power source for 790's kind's actual robot head, since we never see him plug into an outlet, fuel up etc.
