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.
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)
Revealing mistake: At the end when Laurel and Hardy are licking Columbo, a substance is caked on Columbo's neck, presumably the food they used to get the dogs to lick Peter Falk.
The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3
Revealing mistake: All the Liberty Bonds loaded in the bag of Mr. Ridgeway have the exact same serial number. (00:20:00)
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).
Revealing mistake: The footage of the assassin climbing up the drain pipe and leaping across the rooftop at the beginning of the episode is reused from the episode "A Room in the Basement." You can even see Drake already up on the roof from that episode, whereas there's only one person climbing in this one. (00:00:30 - 00:00:40)
Revealing mistake: As Harm & Mac are returning to the US, we are told they are flying out of London Heathrow. But the stock footage of an airport used is actually London Gatwick, identified by its distinctive control tower, and not Heathrow.
Revealing mistake: The left pinball in the arcade (which later disappears) has the body of a "Star Trek TNG" machine - but the backglass is purely fictional. (00:17:45)
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)
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.
Revealing mistake: In the morgue when Mike is just about to cover the first dead body, if you look closely you will see the body's eye move. (00:04:10)
Revealing mistake: When the president talks to the reverend in the Oval Office, the picture of President Lincoln is either higher and then lower when it is shown.
Beauty Rest - S4-E5
Revealing mistake: Kathy Ireland is supposed to be dead but watch carefully and you'll see her chest move when Minnie Driver's doing CPR.
Revealing mistake: The bullets the priest takes out of the ammunition tray have no primers. (01:01:33)
Revealing mistake: During the "power outage" when Brian is out on the street during the day, all the stop lights and cross walks are on - you can also see the lighting is on in the windows of office buildings.
Revealing mistake: The list of intelligence agents names that Johnny Marks steals is a list of the same names repeated over and over again.
When in Rome - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Will and Frankie are in a boat. In the first wide shot the boat is going rather slowly, in the next shot they are speeding many times faster, and the shot is erratic, showing that the action was speeded up. (00:02:05)
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)
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.
Revealing mistake: A satellite photo is shown of Byran Mills' house in the first third or so of the episode. Later on in the episode, towards the end, a satellite photo of the cartel's secret landing strip is shown. They are the same photos, only one is zoomed in a little more than the other. (00:16:10 - 00:35:30)
