The Tomb-Keeper's Secret - S2-E46

Revealing mistake: Whilst discussing Marik with Ishizu, there is a wide shot of the bedroom where Joey says, "What if it's too late to save Marik from the evil that's inside of him?" In this shot, there is an animation error with Serenity's head. Serenity has her head turned to face Ishizu, but the turned head appears to have been poorly pasted over another version of Serenity's head that is facing directly forwards. (00:04:44)

Prisoner of War - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: In the first scene, young people are removing scrap from a rooftop. The camera angle changes to look over the rescue team and back at the roof. In the distance, visible in the upper left of the screen, a Canadian flag is waving in the breeze. Also a short while later the camera looks back over the team away from the children, and the CN Tower appears to be in the background. Like many TV shows, Falling Skies was filmed in Canada, but the events are supposed to take place in Massachusetts, USA. (00:00:25 - 00:02:00)

Into the Vortex - S1-E5

Fear & Loathing - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: When Nathan and Audrey are sitting at the table in The Grey Gull, the extra in the background can be seen bringing a loaded fork inches short of his mouth then fake chewing. This happens a few times before cutting to the ending credits. (00:40:05 - 00:40:55)

When We Were Young - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: Hannah sits in a conference room and pulls a landline phone towards her to dial her friend, asking about the will Owen left. The phone however isn't in any way connected, hence no call could have taken place.

Neverland - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Captain Morrow welds the door to lock Zevari out of the Mother room, the computer screen reads "Crew Status?.. Crew Dead." In the next angle, this same text is reflected on Morrow's head, but it still reads the same way. The text should be flipped like a mirror since it's a reflection off his skin. (00:27:35)

Obsession - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: Our heroes arrive at an RAF base. Purdey hears a loud aircraft noise and looks up to the sky - cut to shot of a fighter jet. For a few frames after the cut, a caption that reads "The Engineer in the RAF" is just visible. It would seem they 'borrowed' some material from an RAF training film. (Indeed, a later shot of shells exploding was obviously taken from a videotaped TV programme, judging by the 'lag' effect caused by the tube camera that would've been used).

Water's Edge - S3-E3

Revealing mistake: The murder victim's skeleton, which Rusty finds in the attic, has a clear cut all the way around its skull. It also has metal pins holding together what turns out to be rubber bones: one of the ribs wobbles up and down when Rusty brushes against it with the cash box. (00:42:00)

Lonnigan, Texas - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: In brother Justin's padded cell, the far wall is obviously a painted backdrop. It even flutters when the orderly and doctor walk in! The only solid part is a couple of feet at the end, that Justin leans up against.

Lightspeed - S5-E8

Revealing mistake: When the HIVE Five exit the museum and are intercepted by Kid Flash, Mammoth loses both his pants and the artifacts he has before KF whizzes past him. It's best seen in slow motion; at normal speed this mistake is hard to catch.

The Royal We - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: On the RV of the guy being accused of molesting the girls, someone has written "PERVERT" in red spray paint. At a point you see Lightman next to a car, and the RV in the background, and the text is mirrored reading: "TREVREP", showing that during editing, this shot was flipped. (00:15:30)
