Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Brody calls Jessica while she is laying with Mike, her hands swap from resting on his chest to being on the pillow, between shots, with no transition whatsoever.

Sacha

Clean Skin - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Jessica and Dana are in line for the Gaucho Taco drive-in, Jessica has one hand on the wheel, yet a frame later, from a different angle both are on the wheel.

Sacha

The Good Soldier - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: SPOILER - When Brody and Carrie are in the car having sex with her laying down, the shots behind her head show a big amount of space in-between her head and the door, yet the front shots show it squashed against the door.

Sacha

All In - S7-E11

Factual error: Filming location is Budapest instead of Moscow, you see HU license plates on cars, HU street name tags, and even the flag of HU and the EU waving over the building Carrie is on.

State of Independence - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Brody is driving Nassir Faris, the trim on the passenger side dashboard sometimes has a light metal-like finish and sometimes is woodgrain. In other episodes, it's the light finish.

Prisoners of War - S8-E12

Factual error: At the beginning of the last sequence a city centre is shown with the caption "Moscow." In fact, the city shown is Budapest, with the Danube, Castle, St Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion and Chain Bridge visible.

The Star - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Carrie is talking to Brody from across the room, her hair jumps several times between being tucked behind her ear to hanging down by her face. (00:20:30)

The Yoga Play - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Carrie opens the safe to take out her gun. The safe is closed when they take her with a hood. When Quin comes in the safe is open again.

Crossfire - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Tom nails the notepad with the bullseye drawing onto the tree trunk, and when he fires at the target the notepad is nailed differently and the bullseye drawing is entirely different as well. (00:27:20)

Super Grover

Crossfire - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After David listens to the recording that Carrie made in order to leverage the FBI, in the closeup facing David as he says, "For what? The hope that this Imam will give you information that you don't even know he has," David's right hand is empty as he holds it up, but it cuts to the shot facing Carrie and David's hand is still up though now he's holding his pen. (00:20:15)

Super Grover

The Drone Queen - S4-E1

Factual error: The man who approaches Carrie in the bar identifies himself as a 'lieutenant JG', and the pilot who bombed the wedding party in the farmhouse. However, it was F-15s that dropped the bombs on the farmhouse, making them US Air Force aircraft. The USAF rank structure doesn't include the 'JG' rank- that's a US Navy rank.

Show generally

Factual error: When the possibility of Numan being sent back to Turkey arises, Carrie says "They will execute him..." The death penalty does not exist in Turkey.

Redux - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lt Col Khan leans forward in the airport scene his epaulette can be seen to bear only the single pip of a second lieutenant. When he stands up again he is wearing the pip and emblem of a lieutenant-colonel once more.

Necrothesp

Season 4 generally

Factual error: The Pakistan Army uses British-style rank insignia with the crown replaced with The Star and crescent of Pakistan. The ISI officers are all wearing another badge instead of The Star and crescent. They are also wearing black gorget (collar) patches, whereas they should be wearing scarlet. Lt Col Khan and a number of other more junior officers should not be wearing gorget patches at all, as they are restricted to full colonels and above. ISI officers do not have a separate uniform; they wear ordinary military uniform if they are entitled to it.

Iron in the Fire - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: As the young girl is in the kitchen cooking and goes to answer the door she puts her sari on. When she answers the door it's no longer on her head and is around her neck. When she closes the door she then has the sari back on. (00:05:10)

Chosen answer: Everyone else calls him Brody or Sgt. Brody, and it probably became habit to her.

The_Iceman

Can't get the source but I read that even the Producer responded to that. Stating that it was common practise for a military wife living in a military complex as everybody refers to their husband by their last name.
