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.

Return to Zenn-La - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Silver Surfer is engulfed by the Fractite, he is standing on the middle of his board with his left foot closest to the front (the "goofy" stance), knees slightly bent and arms extended to his side with his elbows slightly bent. In the next scene, he is shown to have both of his feet pointed towards the front of his board, with his knees bent more and his torso leaning back. The Fractite holds him in place, similar to if you were frozen in ice, so he wouldn't have been able to freely move.

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.
