The Outer Limits picture

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)

eps3.6_fredrick+tanya.chk - S3-E7

Other mistake: Angela keeps watching by rewinding the same scenes of the news of the data storage facilities collapsing from the explosions which targeted 71 facilities. The explosions look controlled like the demo of the old Las Vegas hotels and casinos. Data storage facilities are concrete/metal buildings with very few windows. The building she's watching collapse appears to be an apartment building with hundreds of large apartment style windows. (00:25:00 - 00:27:00)

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)

Rabbit Hole picture

Show generally

Other mistake: Agent Maddy is approaching the scene of a downtown explosion and fire. She has her FBI badge showing on her belt. As she approaches the police line she rummages in her jacket and looks down at where the badge is, but reaches into the adjacent pocket to pull out another badge in a wallet. Why not identify herself with the badge on her belt?

Episode #8.8 - S8-E8

Other mistake: Tariq has been tasked with finding hotel guests who share their surnames with American presidents. His computer screen is shown with the search in progress. The surname "Bush" appears twice (two presidents, but only one surname), and the counts for the two entries are different. In addition, the name "Truman" is misspelled as "Trueman." (00:28:15)

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.

Show generally

Other mistake: When Nadine met Knippinberg for the first time and narrates the incidents, he asks where Alain (Sobraj) is now. She says they have not arrived back yet. While it seems that Dominique has long been gone, but Nadine receives letter from Dominique the same day Sobraj returns. This was also the same day when Dominique was leaving the airport, and he saw Sobraj in the same airport.

Suggested correction: When Dominique was leaving the airport, he thought he saw Sobhraj but that man was not Sobhraj. In fact, this man was holding his child at the arrival gate. Sobhraj, Monique and Ajay did not return the same day Dominique left Bangkok.

Thank You for Not Driving - S1-E3

Other mistake: The scene in which Tayo's wife gets into her car to leave their home is filled with mistakes. First off, it seems to take her much too long for the short driveway to reach the curb. Then, when she is blocked by the perp's van, she rams one of the perps twice and then backs away. As she is backing away, the perp's body flies forward, smashing into the van. She then rams the van twice with great force, and yet her car has minimal damage, only to the corner of the car.

Suggested correction: It was a part of the character's redesign. The writer of Spider-Man, John Semper Jr, disliked the Fantastic Four cartoon to the point that he not only changed characters' designs but their voice actors as well.

Redesigning the character is not a valid correction, because it still creates a contradiction within the shared universe. Even under the pretense of redesigning the character due to not liking the previously established version, it would still be a deliberate mistake.
