Star Trek: Picard picture

Remembrance - S1-E1

Other mistake: Picard gives the mysterious girl some Earl Grey. She has it in hand only in one shot, the faraway one when the two Romulan servants are leaving. The way the scene goes, at no point during the whole scene does she have time to even take a sip. (00:19:05)

Season 3 generally

Other mistake: In the last episode of season 3, Helen Cutter goes to site 333 to kill off the first hominids. Connor mentions that that's the site where thirteen members of a hominid family all died at once, and no one could ever figure out why. The implication is that it was Helen's actions that killed them off, and we see her doing it. Right after killing them, Helen herself is killed by a velociraptor, which also dies. Danny Quinn leaves their bodies there and walks away. Doesn't that mean that, when site 333 is discovered in the future, they would also find Helen's bones and those of the raptor? I imagine it would cause some confusion if the bones of a modern human and a velociraptor were found in the same strata and the same age as the earliest proto humans.

Things You Can't Outrun - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Cisco and Cailtin call Barry to tell him about the man with the gun, Cailtin says he has a gun. Cut to the cops pursuing him, the perp shoots at the cops, and one of them seems surprised that he has a gun. There's no way Caitlin could have known about the gun without the cop knowing (which would presumably have been relayed over police communications).

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

Show generally

Other mistake: During the first dozen or so episodes, during the opening credits, Onizuka is shown spray-painting a picture of a woman on a wall, with the words "Love" and "Piece" written next to her. Obviously, "piece" is a mistranslation, and the wrong spelling. The correct text should read "Love" and "PEACE."

Stargate: Atlantis picture

Home - S1-E9

Other mistake: In Shepard's apartment, there is a fresh pineapple and other fruit in his kitchen. This despite him having been in Atlantis for several months. This later turns out to be an artificial reality, but that should've been a big hint.

The Bionic Woman picture

Show generally

Other mistake: Due to her bionics, Jamie has the ability to leap up 1 or 2 stories of a building or balcony. However, in the episode with the spacesuit, near the end, the astronaut has launched about 40-50 feet in the air, which is roughly 4-5 stories, but Jamie is somehow able to leap up high enough to grab onto the cable and deactivate his suit. (00:43:00)

Surprise - S3-E12

Other mistake: Callisto's sword is missing. She's the Warrior Queen, so she should have her sword. When Callisto appears in the Xena Season Two episode "A Necessary Evil", her sword has reappeared when Xena frees her from the Labyrinth of the Gods for her help with defeating Velasca.

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Other mistake: As Kai's squadron are approaching The Fore Shadow, the ship begins to fire its massive web like plasma waves at the planet, and fires over and over continually. Except in close up shots as Kai's squadron are flying around it. Like it completely stops firing in closes ups, though when cutting away suddenly blasts are close enough to it that they would have been coming out during those close ups. (00:03:05)

Voice - S1-E2

Other mistake: 'Li-Chan starts explaining Keita about the Neuronoid. The screen that briefly appears as she tells him about the original purpose of the machine is filled with gibberish letters. (00:10:20)

The Killer - S1-E1

Other mistake: We are of course not privy to the protocol of the secret service organization Jim Phelps is a member of; however, while he is at his own place choosing at his leisure the team members, Jim to pick Nicholas types "KJ" on the laptop, to pick Casey he types "PK", then to pick Max and Grant he just clicks a TV remote. Whatever system they are using, does not seem to make any internal sense.

Ranger Yellow (2) - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Summer is fighting the Grinders at her wedding, she throws at least four kicks that completely miss her enemy, yet they react as if they were hit with great impact.

Lupin III picture

The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1

Other mistake: Rebecca drinks a very rare and prestigious wine; one wonders if part of its uniqueness lies also in the fact that according to its label it is a "Grand Vin De BARDEAUX", instead of Bordeaux. It is even a geographical name, not a trademark. (00:16:30)

Star Wars Rebels picture

The Occupation - S4-E5

Other mistake: In this episode, Hera's ears are shown for the first time thanks to her civilian disguise. As for all Twi'lek women, they're shaped like cones. However, they are too large to fit under the ear coverings of the pilot's cap she usually wears, when they've been shown on the few occasions she hasn't been wearing goggles or a pilot's visor.

Enter the Void - S3-E12

Other mistake: When everyone is mounting Lefty after escaping the temple, part of the lava flow directly on the right of the opening goes nowhere and just ends halfway down the screen.

Trip Takes a Stand - S1-E19

Other mistake: In this episode, Eric tries to destroy a mutant, apparently unaware that Rangers don't destroy mutants but freeze them. Yet in Quantum Quest and Clash for Control, he froze a mutant.
