Mystic Pop-up Bar picture

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Other mistake: Weol-ju goes into the forest at night and sees her house has been set on fire. From where she is standing, there is a large distance between her and the house, and the fire is so huge, that she can see it all the way from the forest. She then runs back, and given the distance between the forest and the house, should have taken a while, but the house is still in the middle of burning down when she arrives. The fire should've definitely worsened during her run back to the house. (00:12:23)

Crazy for You - S3-E7

Other mistake: On the W.A.A.K. Bloggers internet page, it says she has 9 children. It lists how each child helps in the family but talks about what 10 children do, not 9. Veronica age 14, Cynthia age 13, John age 12, Kayla age 10, Matthew age 7, Elizabeth age 6, Caroline, Mickey, Rachel age 4, and Susie. (00:08:11)

The Chameleon - S1-E31

Other mistake: Mace's chest camera sends images from impossible angles - including several that include Mace himself. At the end, his superiors watch him from a camera that's obviously mounted in a tree and not on his person. Yet when Mace smashes his chest camera, the transmission goes dead anyway. (00:48:00)

Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang - S2-E3

Other mistake: When Beaver takes the iPod/camera, the pictures are left on Veronica's laptop. This would only be possible if the pictures were copied onto the computer. It would have taken a considerable amount of time for all of the two thousand photos to be copied. There is the possibility that Beaver copied the three or so photos of Logan, but considering his anger, that's hardly something that he would take the time to do.

Other mistake: The General and Blore search the Doctor and the Judge's bag when the clock in a close-up strikes 8. When the doctor in an outbursts dumps Vera's bag on the floor, he stands by the clock that now shows it's 9:35. (00:05:05)

After the Fall - S3-E16

Other mistake: Regarding the suicide of Karen Anderson, her boyfriend explains that Karen hadn't been studying with him because she wanted to be in the sun all day, but all the footage of the bridge she jumped from shows it to have been a mostly overcast, gray day. The first shot of the bridge is at the very beginning of the episode and is repeated several times throughout.

FBI (2018)

FBI picture

Undisclosed - S2-E7

Other mistake: Toward the end of the episode the perpetrator is corned by the FBI. He steps backwards from the curb and is killed instantly by a garage truck moving at a high rate of speed. In the following scene the garbage truck is shown just a few steps beyond the scene just behind a parked car. The truck was going very fast when it killed the perp and could not have stopped so quickly. Further it would not have been going that fast in a curb lane with a parked vehicle right ahead of it.

Got No Strings - S1-E6

Other mistake: Edmund and Dolly make love in the barn completely naked. Yet the next shot is morning and Dolly is suddenly wearing a camisole after they've awakened. Which wouldn't be the case after falling asleep after sex They'd both still be nude.

Warehouse 13 picture

All the Time in the World - S4-E19

Other mistake: Charlotte enters the Duchess' bedroom, walks past Pete & Myka, with her hand behind her back, hiding something. She stands in front of them, trained security people; neither of them notice the gun in her hand (which is visible to the camera, so it is not hidden via artifact), before she shoots her husband.

El doble - S1-E5

Other mistake: Jesus leaves his home with a double barrel break-action shotgun and an ammunition belt holding extra shot-shells. In the next scene Jesus is walking in the street with the shotgun and no ammunition belt, it magically vanished. The shotgun only has a capacity for 2 shot-shells, then it needs to be reloaded, or it can be reloaded after one is only fired, that procedure is called a top-off. He fires 1 round at the mayor and two inside Elena's home which makes three. He never reloads. (00:32:50 - 00:34:40)

Surface picture

Episode #1.15 - S1-E15

Other mistake: Laura is in the security control room of the plant, and finds a Master Lock Console screen; she sees it has Biometric Scan access and comments to Rich "It's not a retina scanner. It works on biometrics." She then brings up a photo ID of an employee on the monitor, lifts up the scanner and places it against the monitor, to get access. Firstly, retinal scans ARE biometric. She should have said "It's not an iris scanner," which requires a physical eyeball to scan. Secondly, no monitor from the 2005 period would be high-resolution enough to fool a biometric scanner. (00:25:20)

Chucky picture

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Other mistake: When the cop puts his cup of coffee down and says "Jen, put it down!", the series of shots is very wonky. He suddenly gets much lower between cuts, gets into an unrealistic position for the stunt to have the vase smashed over his head. Finally, when he lands, there's a bunch of glass perfectly still on the floor, which was obviously already placed there, in addition to a few pieces that are dropped from above.
