Continuity mistake: When Paul falls from the ceiling, after everyone else falls, his feet knock over two boxes and everything sort of settles. In the next shot, one of the boxes is back up and his legs are coming down on the boxes again, but nothing is knocked over.

Progeny - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: In the flashback to 1920, Kendra flips the calendar to October with a snowy mountain side picture. Later when she's talking to Carter about leaving, the calendar is now on September with a trail through the grass picture. It goes back to October when their son comes in.

Bob's Burgers (2011)

Burgerboss - S2-E4

Other mistake: Throughout the episode, the buttons on the video game change or disappear in some shots. For example, when Bob first asks for Darryl's help, you can see there's no buttons on the game.

Radio Harry - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: The kids' pancakes change during the scene. Sahara's has a hole and tear in it from when Harry pokes it, but later it has just a hole. And the amount of blueberries and whip cream on Max's changes. Some shots, they're back to the previous set up.

The Land Ship - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: Part of the plot of the episode is the port-a-potties being in front of Bob's restaurant. But on the day of the parade, there's a shot of The Land Ship going down the street and there are no port-a-potties in front of the restaurant. When Jimmy comes over to make fun of Bob, they're back in front of the restaurant.

Family Day - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Harry first picks up a water balloon and throws it, his hands are now empty. In the next shot, he has a blue water balloon in his hand. When he throws that one, you see it's a pink balloon being thrown.

The Walking Dead (2010)

Show generally

Question: Maybe I missed a full explanation or it's a plot hole for the show, but how do Michonne's armless, jawless walkers on a leash help mask her scent or let her walk among the walkers?

Bishop73

Answer: The other walkers see the two already upon her, figure that she's already taken, and move on.

Captain Defenestrator

What do you mean "upon her" if they're in front of her and walking forward?

Bishop73

A satisfactory answer hasn't really been given. The general consensus on Reddit is that having the two tame rotting zombies close by overpowers her own smell and the zombies can't detect her. In my previous answer, I was thinking that it was a psychological tactic. The other zombies see that they're about to eat her and about to attack, figure "that one's taken," and move on. This time, I'll go with the internet's answer.

Captain Defenestrator

I broke this question up into 2 because I ran out of room. But, yeah, I thought the idea was either mask her smell or make other Walkers think she's "taken." But in the show, those options don't seem to work for other characters.

Bishop73

"Upon" as in "They are about to descend down on their prey."

Captain Defenestrator

Yes, but I was asking about times when they're in front of her and she's following, not that ever showed any signs of descending down on her.

Bishop73

Well, zombies don't look that carefully to distinguish "Oh, those guys are walking in front of her instead of about to throw her on the ground and eat her. Let's get really hung up on the word "upon" now, shall we?"

Captain Defenestrator

It was my polite way of letting you admit you didn't know what you were talking about and were guessing with a total BS answer.

Bishop73

Ah. Well, I DID admit that earlier.

The Walking Dead (2010)

After - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: The message in chalk Carl writes on the door changes from what we see him do. For example, he writes something on the middle part of the door (which doesn't look like the word "shoe") and then doesn't write on the inset part of the door below that. When we see the message, the inset part now has some writing on it.

Close Encounters of the Bird Kind - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Dick Butkus is in the clubhouse doing "The Butkus Group", the door is open. After Max and Abby leave and Bill Nye says you can't charge a cell phone with a potato, it's still open. But in the outside shot of Max Abby, the door is now closed.

Continuity mistake: After Reggie Jackson goes inside and Jackie Joyner-Kersee is talking to Dick Butkus, her hands switch from being down by her side to up around her waist depending on the camera angle.

The Walking Dead (2010)

Show generally

Question: Has there been any explanation (in-show or by show creators) about the inconsistency of what attracts Walkers? They've shown that people who cover themselves in Walker guts aren't detected or attacked. When it rained, the rain washed off the guts and then the Walkers do try to attack. But if people hide under cars or don't make noises, the Walkers don't detect them. But it's also been shown that people under a pile of "dead" walkers are still attacked. So what causes a Walker to attack?

Bishop73

Answer: Walkers are attracted to noise, they can tell who's dead and who isn't dead, in S1 when Rick and Glenn cover themselves in walkers' guts they're able to get far by walking through the herd of walkers because they smell like they're dead, but as soon as the guts get washed off by the rain the walkers immediately attack them, if you draw attention to yourself they will attack you which we've seen that many times throughout the series that it's not always successful. Whether you're covered in guts hiding under dead corpses or under a car.

Answer: Walkers use sight and sound to find their prey, with sound being their first choice. When the characters cover themselves in guts, they aren't attacking because they can't "see" them and they're not making any noise. The same goes for when they're hiding under cars - walkers can't hear or see them. They'll go for anything that makes a noise, regardless of what it is. It's also very likely that walkers don't have the ability to smell, since they can't find people hiding under cars. Nor can they smell the Whispers who walk amongst them.

The Neighbors (2012)

Mo Purses Mo Money Mo Problems - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When Marty grabs the puzzles from Jackie Joyner-Kersee, he has the newspaper tucked under his arm. It's still under his arm when he says maybe doing puzzles with Max is their thing, but in the next shot, the paper is in his hand. It's back under his arm in the next shot.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Larry Bird hands Marty the pie, Marty takes it with one hand and then grabs it with his other hand. In the next shot, the pie is no longer in his hands and he's seen grabbing it with both hands at once.

Family Guy (1999)

Mister Act - S20-E11

Trivia: When Peter first breaks out into a solo, the song he's parodying is "Tragedy" by the Bee Gees. Barry Gibbs was notorious for singing in a high voice (falsetto). At the end, during the tribute to rarely used exercise equipment, an instrumental version of "Tragedy" is played.

Bishop73

Trivia: Starting in season 4, the number "47" appears in the dialog of several episodes (from station numbers to codes to percentages). This comes from one of the executive story editor and writer, Joe Manosky (who joined TNG in season 4). Manosky was in a club during college called "The 47 Society" and the number was written in as an inside joke. It carried its way through Voyager, DS9, and films. Writer and producer, Rick Berman, once joked "47 is 42 corrected for inflation."

What Lies Ahead - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Carl gets shot, and we see him in the ground, not only does the blood spot on his short change in the next shot of him on the ground, but he's in a completely different shirt. It's still a cameo shirt, but the cameo pattern is different.
