Paul Is Dead - S1-E6

Factual error: The female British astronaut is in her space suit. There is a supposedly British flag on her left sleeve. But the flag is wrong. The red diagonal stripes are centered on the white field. They should be off-centered by 3/5 of the white space. Not centered. This is a common mistake you find in British flags bought outside the UK.

Factual error: Mr. Monk is crossing off days on a calendar until Trudy's passing anniversary. Three days before, he says "only two days left." Mr. Monk is too much of a perfectionist to say that. How did this happen?

Beyond Logic - S1-E10

Factual error: Season 1, Episode 10: Lee is trying to get out of the underworld on his capsule with the rescued others. They all get in, and he closes the top hatch by turning the hatch wheel clockwise. Trying to take off, a wire becomes disconnected outside, and Lee has to go out again. He turns the hatch wheel clockwise, and this time it opens instead of closing. If it was clockwise for close, it should be counterclockwise to open.

Moth to a Flame - S1-E3

Other mistake: The police are watching a bus traveling between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. As part of the surveillance, they show a policeman in a car taking pictures. The lens cap is still on.

Silence of the Lamborghini - S1-E18

Factual error: There is a fashion show in Rome by "Gianni Bellisimo". The correct spelling is Bellissimo.

toroscan

Revealing mistake: The ship is being attacked by a megalodon. The USS King is supposed to be in open ocean. When three sailors run to the left, we can see the ship is next to a dock. (01:01:35)

toroscan

Factual error: The USS King's crew are all wearing blue camos with US NAVY on their left chest. Yet the Skipper keeps calling them Marines.

toroscan

Other mistake: On the USS Fragasso, everyone is in uniform, except the Skipper. He is wearing a blue polo shirt with no markings or rank.

toroscan

Character mistake: The Captain of the USS Fragasso comes onto the bridge. A Petty Officer says, "Officer on deck," and salutes while looking out the forward windscreen. He should have said, "Captain on the bridge" and not saluted.

toroscan

Factual error: Lieutenant Commander Sharp addresses the crew of the USS King. At the end, he shouts "Semper Fi." Marines say "Semper Fi," not Navy personnel. "Hooyah!" would have been more appropriate. By the way, I don't think bright metal collar insignias are worn with the blue camo uniform. They use subdued rank insignia. But I am not sure.

toroscan

Factual error: Lieutenant Commander Cole goes to the skipper's office with his hands in his pockets and proceeds to talk to him, and not once does he remove his hands from his pockets. This is a military no-no. A person in uniform NEVER walks or talks with his hands in his pockets.

toroscan

Factual error: CPT Leo tells Harp he just flew 10,000 to get there. This war is in Europe. Even assuming the easternmost area, say Poland, Nevada is only 5,700 miles away.

toroscan

Factual error: LT Harp is talking with CPT Leo. Leo, reciting Harp's achievements, says he has 56,000 hours of flying drones. Impossible. A Lieutenant, say a First Lieutenant, would be promoted to Captain in typically four years. 56,000 hours in four years is 4,667 a month. It should be divided by eleven, as he is entitled to one month leave. So the corrected amount is 5,091 hours a month. This is 254.55 hours per workday! Yeah, right.

toroscan

Factual error: At his hearing, a drone pilot (a lieutenant) is asked where he did his basic training. He replied, "Parris Island." Wrong. US Air Force officers do not go to Parris Island. Some, such as ROTC and Academy graduates, do not go to basic training at all. Others go to Officer Training School. Parris is a Marine Corps base that gives basic training to enlisted Marine Corps personnel.

Thank God It's Friday... Again - S1-E6

Other mistake: The planet population works in the fields, harvesting large brown biconal fruit. They seem to be heavy, as a bag containing about three of them is a burden to the person carrying it. When the leader of the planet shows one to Crighton, she picks one up with three fingers.

Love Gods - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Quinn finds Natalie and goes over to where she is drinking and conversing with a man seated at a table. Quinn goes over, and in the next shot, she is alone at the table.

toroscan

Love Gods - S2-E2

Deliberate mistake: Wade and Quinn go to the Top Hat Club. We see a line of people waiting to get in. After they are in the club a while, leave in a taxi, go to the park to meet Rembrandt and Arturo, discuss some things, talk to some passersby, and go back to the Top Hat. We again see a line waiting to get in. It is the same line with the same people in the same place as way earlier. It is a repeated shot of the previous queue from when they went there the first time.

Show generally

Question: The four main protagonists are constantly sliding into a different universe, with just the clothes on their backs, and they are usually very short of money or have money not used in that universe. So, how come they have such a varied and expensive wardrobe?

Premiere - S1-E1

Other mistake: CDR Crighton is on an alien world, many light years away from Earth, but they seem to have identical—and I mean identical—Earth-type 55-gallon drums.

toroscan

Other mistake: Kristin takes a photo of her and Lorenzo and posts it to Instagram. A few moments later, her husband shows up and says he came to see what was going on because he saw her uploaded photo. She says it was only one photo. The photo was taken a few moments before. How did he get there so quickly all the way from the US? And came directly to where she was? Impossible.
