Revealing mistake: After the scene with Emma and Henry at the playground, there is a wide shot of Storybrooke Main Street. As the camera pans down, in the upper right hand corner, you can see the clock tower, but without the top two stories (the top two layers of the clock tower, including the clock, are CGI). (00:06:15)
Continuity mistake: When Regina is on the stretcher, she has a yellow coat around her shoulders. As she pushes Sidney away, the coat has vanished into thin air. (00:23:50)
Continuity mistake: When Emma goes to get the fire extinguisher, Regina grabs Emma's arm at the elbow. In the next shot, she's gripping Emma's wrist. In the following shot, she's gripping her elbow again. (00:22:25)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Morraine is conscripted into the army, as well as the scene where the knights find Rumplestiltskin and his son on the King’s road, Rumplestiltskin's hand repeatedly moves up/down his staff between shots. The same thing happens to Baelfire in the scene where he and his father are preparing to leave for the Duke's palace.
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Gold brings the town charter to Mary Margaret's apartment, he puts the binder on the table twice; once before he sits down, and then again after he sits down. (00:19:10)
Chosen answer: Even if one can see the future, it can be somewhat vague and left open to interpretation.

He can sees the future all jumbled up. It is like a puzzle, it is hard to put together, but even when he does put it together it is not set in stone the future can change.
