Character mistake: When David encourages the gang to dance at Scott's birthday party, David mistakenly calls Kelly by her actress' name, Jennie Garth. He says, "Scott, you're off, Buddy. Jen, kind of getting into it."
Character mistake: The Eagle Koenig flies is called Eagle One. However, the number on the door behind him is plainly a four, meaning Eagle Four.
Suggested correction: This happens a lot. The number on the door is not the number of the Eagle, it's the number of the command module. The super structure and drive systems are Eagle One. Even then, there has been several Eagle Ones destroyed or lost. Eagle One is assigned its designation by the head of Recon, Alan Carter.
Character mistake: Throughout the whole series Jin and Sun refer to each other as "yobo." The subtitles continually translate "yobo" as either "Jin" or "Sun" which is incorrect. "Yobo" is Korea's version of "dear" or "sweetheart."
Character mistake: Deputy Olmstead says to Lorraine Lyon, "You think that you're rich 'cause you're better than me." Surely, the line should have been "You think that you're better than me 'cause you're rich."
Suggested correction: No, she actually does mean Lorraine thinks she is rich because she is better than her. And to her, anyone who is not rich is therefore less, or else they would be rich too. It's the same type of thinking but with a different approach as what you suggest. It's about privilege.
Interesting. I can see it either way. Thanks for the thought.
The Short Day of Private Putnam - S2-E28
Character mistake: Hanley's call sign is Checkmate King Two. But his radio man recites, "Checkmate King Two, this is White Rook." Should have been the other way round.
Character mistake: When Billy Bones gives himself in to the redcoats, he states he is Long John Silver. In one of the next cuts, he talks about Silver in third person. The governor shows no shock and they keep talking as if Billy Bones had said at the start of the conversation who he truly was. Then he instructs the governor on how to take on "himself" and Flint.
Character mistake: When Estelle gives her guest speech about the Tuskegee airmen she shows a slideshow. There is a photo of an airplane that she incorrectly labels as "a single engine P-47." This is not correct. The plane in the photo is a P-39 Airacobra. (00:19:45)
Character mistake: When Clark flies to see his parents for the first time, he is wearing a maroon shirt and jacket. When he lands at his parents farm he is still wearing his jacket and maroon shirt. In the next shot, he has taken his jacket off which now has a rip in the shoulder, as he enters the house his shirt is blue, and then in the following shot at the table having dinner his shirt is again maroon. (00:30:00 - 00:30:50)
Character mistake: Jack was off by more than double when he told Dr. Nash that 200ccs was almost a pint. In actuality, a pint is 473ccs. So, 200ccs is a little less than 1/2 of a pint.
Character mistake: As Preston is calling Sully on the sheriff situation, Loren enters, brandishing a new rifle to Preston, almost right over the baby's carriage. No way in tomorrow would Dr Mike or Sully have allowed this to happen, but have aimed the firearm in another direction, or at least Sully move in front, away from the baby's carriage.
Character mistake: When Geoffrey serves tea after his sassy cough at Vivian's sentence about High Tea not being a sacred institution, the actor messes up when it's time to actually serve tea, with a napkin getting caught in the teacup saucer. Granted, accidents do happen, but it's quite uncharacteristic for the perfect butler Geoffrey is portrayed to be, and simply a flub by Joseph Marcell. (00:17:45)
Episode #6.4 - S6-E4
Character mistake: The character pretending to be Lt. Ellis refers to himself as First Lieutenant. That rank is referred to orally as "Lieutenant", not "First Lieutenant."

Billy tells Ben, "She lived the last years of her life here." But in part 1 of this two-part episode, it was established that the woman had lived in the house for only six months.
Character mistake: In the first call to a working structure fire Severide proceeded to head towards the basement from the middle level by walking down stairs but falls through. His first mistake was not checking the stairs with the halligan as any firefighter is taught, to check if they are sturdy. And last but definitely not least no firefighter should ever walk down stairs, especially wooden framed ones if they are on fire.
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Character mistake: In the opening minutes of the first episode, as the Erasmus is struggling through a storm, Blackthorne is told that the boatswain is dead. He checks the corpse and then says, "Get the body aloft," which would entail carrying the deceased up the mast. The correct order would be "Get the body topside."
Character mistake: When the wife of Lennie James (number 147) says to her husband 'You left the door open' (just after the incident with their daughter), this is wrong. Rewind a few minutes and you will see that there are 3 people: 6, 313 and 147. 147 leaves when his wife says 'Cake's out of the oven!', leaving 6 and 313. 313 leaves, with 6 alone. Then Number 6 leaves the backyard with the door open. Even if she meant the door to the house, he would have to go through it last.
Coming Home - S1-E13
Character mistake: Kamaria Ray thinks back of her son shooting at the Zeon troopers with a mental image that is wrong; Amuro was not shooting from the bed, but from the door. (00:15:20 - 00:19:20)
Character mistake: Nathan suggests to Dwight and Audrey that maybe he should shut down the meeting of troubled people. As chief, he should know he has no authority to stop citizens from assembling.

Character mistake: When Lenore Osgood is speaking on the phone with Charles Wainwright about killing Dr. Hanover, she mispronounces "Larynx" as "Lar-nix."
Character mistake: The X-ray shown when Ruth see Cade's body is placed in the wrong way. It should have been a mirror image. (00:57:56 - 00:59:06)
