The Convergence of the Twain - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: Norma's headstone gives a year of death as 2015. It also gives Norman's birth year as 1995, making him 20 when she died, but it is repeatedly stated that Norman is 18 when he enters Pine view, and Norma died 2 weeks later.
Suggested correction: Norma doesn't die 2 weeks after they move to Pineview, she dies roughly 2 years later. Dylan & Emma have a baby, then in later scenes a 2/3 year old child.
Pineview Institute is the mental hospital Norman enters (during season 4) and they say he's 18 and has to sign the consent forms. Then at the end of season 4, Norman kills his mother (Norma), which is about 2 weeks later. The city the Bates moved to is White Pine Bay. In season 5 (which is set 2 years after season 4 ends) every time we see Norma, it's Norman hallucinating as she's already dead.
She didn't die two weeks after she moved to white pine bay, she died two weeks after she got married to Alex.

Corrected entry: It often rains on the show (it being Oregon, naturally), but never on the characters. Rain can frequently be seen against lights in the background of scenes, and not in the foreground.
Correction: This is too vague and a specific example needs to be given to verify the mistake. Plenty of times throughout the show the characters are rained on and wet.

Corrected entry: As Norma interrupts Norman watching a movie on his laptop she asks about the chance of home-school. After they talk, Norman leaves the bed and the laptop isn't with him or on the bed.
Correction: Norman sets the laptop down at the foot of the bed (from the window angle the screen of the laptop is up against the footboard) and after he leaves we never get a view of the bed where the laptop is. The wall and door block the view of the bed's footboard.
