Convergence - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: In the sit room, when the president is trying to decide whether to intercept the smugglers' aircraft, the local time displayed On the Clock in the background jumps from 19:12 to 19:58, back to 19:12, then to 20:13, then to 19:08. It then jumps to 19:53, then 19:59, then back to 19:15, then to 19:02. It then jumps to 20:00, before going back to 19:15 and finally finishing 19:02. All in the space of about 2 minutes of ‘real time'. (00:01:10 - 00:02:45)

Single Point of Failure - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Walter accesses code on the sick girl's laptop to trace the source of the virus - aside from the fact that the code comes straight up a fraction of a second after his hands even touch the keyboard, the code displayed in the black window is for a set of traffic lights, with lines like "Walk/Dont_Walk" and "Green_Arrow/Yellow_Slow."

Going Back to Cali - S3-E4

Factual error: The Governor arrives at the ranch in her official vehicle. However, the vehicle has US Government license plates. A State Governor is not a US Government representative, so the vehicle would have State plates. (00:16:41)

The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5

Other mistake: When Japp and the bobby arrest the pickpocketer, the dialogue says "It was only last week that we put him inside for three months" which obviously does not make sense. In the original story he did the 3 months of jail the year before, and this has to be a flub in the lines of this TV version (it is specified also that he did those in the winter, so the Sergeant can't possibly mean that he was released last week). (00:35:00)

Targets - S7-E15

Visible crew/equipment: The second time Alicia is being picked up by Sergeant McWain, just as McWain opens the car door, we can see reflections of the crew's large lighting scrim that is set up on the sidewalk. (00:25:40)

The Darkest Hour: Part Two - S4-E2

Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, as the knights are about to send Merlin to Camelot with Lancelot, the knights walk towards the camera. As they do, there's a patch of green screen the special effects department must have forgotten to remove between Sir Elyan and Sir Percival. (00:02:10)
