Agents of SHIELD

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene where Mike and his kid have a conversation outside a toy store, an explosion comes from the top floor of an apartment building. Just before Mike runs off to go save some of the people from the building, he says "Stay with Bernie" to his kid and Bernie then does this. After he says this and runs off, the kid and Bernie are a good foot away from the toy store. The next shot when Mike shouts "Watch my boy!" to Bernie, the kid and Bernie are a great distance away from the toy store without any time to move. (00:01:20)

Principia - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: The background scenery, with the lighthouse in it, moves from right to left when Shield Agent Mac and his old school friend talk to one of the relocated scientists. However, in the next shot, it runs from left to right, as if they are on a boat. In reality, it shouldn't be moving at all. (00:18:16)

Broken Promises - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Fitz is examining Aida's head, Mack hands him a bottle of beer. He sets the beer on the table and the beer magically twists itself about. It isn't much and it's easy to miss. It's only a few centimeters or so. (00:38:30)

Ascension - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: In the opening of episode 20, Coulson meets General Talbot in a saloon that is a secret entrance to their hidden base, a base that is many stories underground. Yet in episode 22 Coulson uses his robot arm to call another jet; it appears outside a window! He can't have a window in his office, if the base is several stories underground. And to verify it isn't a "video window" or "projection screen", Mac throws a chair through it, essentially saying "We are above ground, let's go get in that jet in front of us." (00:19:40)

Purpose in the Machine - S3-E2

Factual error: When examining the sand, Bobbi states "According to carbon dating..." Fitz finishes by saying "It's a billion years older than the earth." However, carbon dating is only good at determining the age of something to about 60,000 years old. The only thing carbon dating could tell about the sand is that it is 60,000 years old or older. It certainly couldn't determine that the sand was 5 billion years old.

Chosen answer: Coulson believes he was resuscitated then sent to Tahiti to recuperate. "A magical place," he calls it. But in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "The Magical Place", Coulson, through a mind-reading machine, learns that he was treated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and a fake memory of Tahiti was placed as a "mask" of sorts over the painful memory of the operation, which involved a drug seemingly of alien origin to repair the damage, coupled with a lot of morally dubious surgery.
