Evolution of the Daleks (2) - S3-E5
Question: What are the words being chanted in the Dalek "theme music" in this episode?
Chosen answer: There are no words. It's just strange alien music.
13th Jan 2013
Deliberate mistake: When the Doctor is watching news broadcasts from around the world about the ghosts, the newspeople from France, India and Japan should be heard speaking English because of the TARDIS' automatic translation. (00:05:55)
26th Aug 2012
Trivia: When Q delivers the Lotus to Bond and Anya, Anya greets him with "Good morning, Major Boothroyd." This is the only time in the films that Q's name is given. (His name in the novels is Major Geoffrey Boothroyd.).
28th May 2012
Factual error: Captain Walker's plane goes down during the Blitz and Tommy is born on VE-Day, which means Mrs. Walker was pregnant for about four years.

The Amazing Psych-Man & Tap Man, Issue No. 2 - S6-E4
Plot hole: The flashback involves Young Shawn and Gus getting ready to go to a comic book convention, Shawn in costume, with his father's consent. This contradicts the flashback in "Shawn Vs The Red Phantom," where Henry won't allow Young Shawn to even read comic books or play superhero with a towel around his neck.

Mr. Monk and the Genius - S7-E2
Plot hole: Kloster's plan of switching the headstones wouldn't have worked because cemeteries keep records of who's buried in which plot. Before exhuming the body, the records would have been checked and someone would have noticed that the name on the headstone and the name in the records didn't match. (He might have broken into the office and changed the records, but it's never brought up, so he likely didn't.)
18th Jan 2012
Factual error: After he gets fired from his teaching job, Mr. Ryerson makes a living reselling the medical marijuana he receives for depression. At the time the episode was made, Ohio was not one of the 16 states (and District of Columbia) that had medical marijuana laws, and NONE of the states allowed it for treatment of depression.
26th Nov 2011
Other mistake: In "Broadway Bro Down," when Shelly and Larry are playing Settlers of Catan, Shelly tells him, "And I got a victory point for the most roads connecting settlements." In the game, there's a two victory point bonus for the longest road, but no points for getting the most roads. (00:14:10)
3rd Sep 2011
Continuity mistake: In the reality where Worf and Troi are married, when she kisses his neck, all of Worf's hair has been pulled back behind his head. When he gets up and turns to face her, the hair on the right side of his head is draped over his shoulder. When the camera angle changes and Worf turns to face it, his hair is pulled back behind his head again. (It isn't Worf changing dimensions again, because he doesn't have the moment of weakness before it happens that he has through the rest of the episode.). (00:23:05)
2nd Sep 2011
Character mistake: When Troi is talking with Picard and Dr. Crusher about what's wrong with her mother, she says that "something was happening in her metaconscious mind." Dr. Crusher then asks "metaconscious?" As a Star Fleet doctor, she's had to study the neurology of Betazoids, Vulcans, and other telepaths. She should be familiar with the concept. (Yes, it's expository dialogue for us, the audience, however, Picard is in this scene too and it would have made more sense for him to ask about it.) (00:17:55)

Hooked on Monkey Fonics - S3-E12
Trivia: Kyle and Rebecca's conversation outside her house about public school is paraphrased almost word for word from Kirk and Shahna's conversation in the classic Star Trek episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion."
11th Aug 2011
Character mistake: Spock expresses amazement that the natives of this planet speak Earth English, however, he and Kirk were both on the bridge when Uhura tapped into the planet's news broadcast and already know that they speak Earth English, and there's no reason to tell McCoy, because he heard it too. Commenting on it would be illogical. (00:07:00)
11th Aug 2011
Continuity mistake: After Gary turns on the typewriter and tells Roberta to give her report but not with her fingers, she responds, "Well, how do you expect me to type, with my nose?" But the typewriter types, "How do you expect me to type, with my nose?" omitting the "Well." It didn't edit her question, because we see from the rest of the scene that it types absolutely every word she says until Gary turns it off. (00:17:45)
29th Jul 2011
Character mistake: Spock tells Kirk that without being able to test their vaccine with the ship's computers, "it could be a beaker of death." The vessel that the vaccine is contained in is a flask, not a beaker. The ship's science officer should know the difference. (00:37:25)
4th May 2011
The Excelsior Acquisition - S3-E16
Trivia: Raj's question about why so many of Stan Lee's characters' first and last names begin with the same initial (Peter Parker, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, etc.) has been answered by Lee in interviews before: He has a bad memory for names, so if he can remember one of their names, he knows the other starts with the same letter.
6th Mar 2011
Factual error: Sizzling Sara is doing her live radio broadcast in front of a rack of magazines. One of the magazines is a Robin comic book. The series of Robin comics that used that logo began in 1993, 14 years after the episode takes place. (00:15:35)
22nd Feb 2011
As My Career Lay Dying - S6-E3
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Hank is re-watching Larry's announcement that he won't be renewing his contract after this season. The video tape that he is watching is sticking out of the VCR, which means it's been ejected and can't be playing. His assistant then comes in and says "This again? I'm taking this tape away from you," and removes it, so we know it wasn't on air or from a different source. (00:00:25)
17th Jan 2011
Continuity mistake: The first victim's body and the floor around her are covered with pieces of glass, but the hole in the pane of glass is only about the size of a fist, not nearly big enough to leave that much glass on the ground.
17th Jan 2011
Mr. Monk and the End - Part I - S8-E15
Plot hole: When Randy tells Captain Stottlemeyer that the killer shot the train station announcer and took his jacket and ID, the microphone in the room is still active and everyone in the station hears Randy's conversation. If that's the case, then why didn't everyone in the station hear the gunshot? Even if the killer used a silencer, he would have made noise taking the announcer's jacket and changing his disguise, which would sound like a struggle over the open mic anyway, and it would make no sense to turn it on after killing the man. (00:29:00 - 00:30:00)
