Continuity mistake: "Night of the Bubbling Death": The dust left on West's jacket after the fight changes patterns several times, then disappears altogether when he enters the building. A shot of his feet shows us that his formerly dusty boots also polished themselves. (00:04:00)

The Night of the Flying Pie Plate - S2-E6

The Judgment (2) - S4-E29

Continuity mistake: Throughout the show's early episodes, Helen Kimble's dress on the night she was murdered was described as blue or blue-gray. Here, in the flashback to the murder, she's wearing an evening gown that isn't blue or gray, but pink. (00:27:45)

Jean G

The Judgment (2) - S4-E29

Continuity mistake: In flashback, we see the one-armed man kill Helen Kimble by striking her with a heavy lamp. All through the earlier seasons, though, we were repeatedly told that Helen had been strangled. (00:28:50)

Continuity mistake: Kimble orders coffee and a bowl of chili from the diner's owner, George. But George serves him a glass of water with the chili, and never does bring the coffee.

Mirror Image - August 8, 1953 - S5-E22

Continuity mistake: When Sam tells Al the bartender that he knows another Al who uses the term "caca," Al leans over toward him to say, "Common expression." The camera angle reverses, and Al is abruptly not leaning any more, but standing back from the bar in his earlier position. (00:16:25)

The Judgment (2) - S4-E29

Three Dead Cows at Makapuu (2) - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: "Robin & the Sorcerer, Part 2": There are two arrows already on the target when Robin's splits one of them. When the target is carried back to the review stand, only the two splitting arrows are there (not even a hole in the cloth where the third should be), and those have somehow moved from the upper right sector of the bull's eye to its very center. (00:19:50)

Tiger Left, Tiger Right - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: We hear Pryor's half of the conversation with the kidnapper, then the tape of both their voices played back by the police. On the tape, Pryor's inflections and pauses are completely different from the "live" conversation. (00:28:30)

The Cyborg - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: At the end, Crane shoots The Cyborg Nelson in the forehead. It clutches at its completely intact face and falls down. We cut to crew reactions and then back to the fallen cyborg - and now its head is nothing but a jumble of circuits. Were those delayed-action bullets in Crane's gun? (00:46:40)

Jean G

The Cyborg - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: To expose The Cyborg duplicate of himself, Nelson disrupts the nerve controls on the computer facsimile's left hand. But The Cyborg Nelson's right hand is the one that subsequently malfunctions. (00:45:20)
