Chapter Two: The Dark Baptism - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Sabrina is about to sign the book with her blood, the drop of blood keeps changing where it's at. At first it hits a drawn line, then it's above the drawn line and is right below the last name. In the third shot, there is now a line space between it and the last name in the book. It continues to change depending on the camera angle.

Containment - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when the bad guy is preparing the syringe of small pox, he follows the usual method of tapping out any air in the tube - when he is shown injecting himself, a large air bubble is back in the syringe (which would probably kill him quicker than the smallpox).

Echoes - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Eden confronts Kinsey by the lockers, as the angle changes so does Kinsey's arm. In some shots, she has her arms crossed and the locker door is closed, in some shots she has one arm up, holding the (open) locker door.

The Two Faces, Part Two - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: The first time Peter is inside the memory with his mother, two ornamental flags can be seen hanging on a wall next to a light switch as they talk in the living room. One of these flags suddenly turns roughly 45° to the left without anyone touching it. (00:07:33)

Unclean - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the final scene with Father Bennett and Mouse, there is an unlit candle on right side of the 2nd step down as they descend the steps. In the next shot, it's suddenly lit, then unlit again in the following shot.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lucas destroys Jake's statue, there's a high-angle shot where he throws the baseball bat onto the floor. A few shots pass and we see another high-angle shot and the debris on the floor is slightly different. (Likely from two different takes of him destroying the statue and throwing the bat down.)

Old Dogs, New Tricks - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Josh has got out and they go looking for him, they find Aiden on a small bridge. From a distance he's got a very dark sweat stain on his shirt. In a closer shot it's faded to nearly nothing, and gets lighter/darker in different shots throughout the scene.

Screaming Meemies - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Just before Olivia commits suicide by falling from the staircase balcony, we see her behind the railing. How does she suddenly get in front of the railing (which would need to happen in order for her to fall) just as the ghost of Poppy reaches for her? (00:52:15 - 00:53:00)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When we see Coraline in Mick's vision of when he was taking her dress off at a party, her tattoo is under one of her shoulders (I think it was her left one) but later on in the series we see Morgan/Coraline wipe off the make-up on where her tattoo is...on the opposite side.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: As Dave is leaning over the edge of the air boat with Rose behind him, he pulls a chunk of metal out of the water and places it on the edge of the boat on his left side. When he gets up from his lying position moments later, the metal is gone. Moments later again, with an overhead shot of the boat, we see what appears to be that piece of metal positioned at what would have been his right side, not his left. This is also where we see him step over the seat (twice!) in subsequent camera angles. (00:30:00)

And They Were Enemies - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: The moment Madame Kali drops down dead, killed by werewolf Chandler, she's still wrinkled and old. Later on in that scene, though, when the monster runs off, her skin is all nice and smooth again. (00:19:10 - 00:20:05)
