Dark Skies - S5-E8

Character mistake: Higgins and TC are investigating a drug smuggler camp in Maui. TC sees a box of cigarettes and says the people in the camp must be Latino because the cigarette box is in Spanish. Wrong. The box says Cigarillos, which are small, short cigars. If the box was in Spanish it would say Cigarrillos, which is cigarettes in Spanish.

Other mistake: Five people are walking in the forest to find a new place to stay. One person is not carrying anything. A child is carrying a camp lantern. One man is carrying a medium size duffel pack. Of the remaining two are one leading an injured man with a bandage on his eyes. No packs. When they make camp the have a large tent, a camp stove, a pot, and a sleeping bag, even fishing poles and gear. No way would all that fit in the one bag.

Factual error: A group of people are traveling in a pickup truck escaping earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They come across a mist that they identify as sulphur dioxide, mainly by its smell and effects on people. Then the plastic interior of the car starts to melt, and they attribute it to the sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide can attack plastics and rubber, but only in its liquid form. It turns gaseous at -10° C. After that it is a gas. So the melting of plastic is not correct at ambient temperature.

Other mistake: Agent Maddy is approaching the scene of a downtown explosion and fire. She has her FBI badge showing on her belt. As she approaches the police line she rummages in her jacket and looks down at where the badge is, but reaches into the adjacent pocket to pull out another badge in a wallet. Why not identify herself with the badge on her belt?

Factual error: Victor (played by Robin) is trying to charge an iPhone in an alternate timeline. He bares and pushes two wires into the charging slot and the phone begins to charge. That is not possible. The charging connector has very closely spaced terminals and there is no way pushing two wires in the slot is going to charge it.

Revealing mistake: Robin is running away from company investigators. He comes across a supposed wire link fence. He breaks it with his bare hands, and by the flapping of the open piece you can see it is made with strings not wire.

Fed to the Sharks - S2-E21

Other mistake: Two FBI agents are speeding along a utility road trying to get to the airport and prevent a plane from taking off. They come across a closed steel gate in their way. They speed up the SUV and crash through the gate, and they get through as the gate breaks into many pieces. When their car gets to the airport we can see the SUV and there is not even a scratch on it.

Factual error: None of the spacesuits have seals at the neck. The helmets just sit on the suit. No way that would work in a vacuum.

Plot hole: Echelon controlled satellites hit targets on Earth with pinpoint accuracy. A lot of them involve creating storms to ravage an objective. One of them is started over 18 hours away from the target (how they know is another mystery), but this is what gives the characters time and allows the movie plot to continue to the end to defeat Echelon.

Factual error: Declan takes a gun from his glove compartment and nothing else. I counted that he fired 22 shots before being put down. There is no way that gun had a 22+ round magazine.

Factual error: While measuring the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) being given off by Stonehenge in the film, a scientist exclaims that the frequency is increasing to over 100 Gigahertz, and is approaching radioactivity. This is absurd. EMF is radiation of electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum of frequencies. Its strength depends on the frequency at which it is measured, with no relation to radioactivity whatsoever. It has a magnetic and an electrical component, but no nuclear breakdown as such.

Hoping for Forever - S1-E10

Factual error: Trust called Proxima B an "eyeball" planet, meaning according to him a planet that does not spin on its own axis and always has one side facing the sun. That is incorrect. If only one side faces the sun it means the rotation on its axis and its revolution around the sun are the same.Otherwise, the planet would seasonally have all of its surface facing the sun once every solar year.

Character mistake: Nikki lost her insulin kit and needs insulin. Her mother suggests getting her a fruit juice, something sweet. Fruit juice contains a large amount of sugar which raises blood sugar levels very quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes are usually best to avoid drinking fruit juice. Her suggestion is absurd.

Revealing mistake: Corporal Shah is tied and on a chair in the command center. He then receives a powerful blow to his left check, knocking him sideways and rendering him unconscious. But his glasses do not even move a millimeter.

toroscan

Continuity mistake: There are several fist fights between Cain and Adam. In most of them one scene does not relate to the previous one. For example, Cain is walking away, and the next cut shows them embraced in a shoving match. This discontinuity happens in many encounters.

Factual error: A library assistant is showing his cellphone to a Fed. The Fed pulls out his gun and shoots the assistant from about 8 inches away into his left temple. Another Fed, standing to the immediate right of the assistant is shown after the shot. But there is no blood or material spray on him at all. His white shirt is immaculate. In fact, there is no blood anywhere.

toroscan

Factual error: The Life One spacecraft is hit by a micrometeoroid. Sparks are to fly, among other effects. The sparks are bifurcated, meaning they were produced by using a grinder, not by a micrometeoroid collision.

Dead Ringer - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum goes to Jack Hill's house to investigate a murder. The home has a smart lock, so he breaks in through a window. Later, Det. Chris Childs goes to the same house. This time the front is different and there is a keyhole and a pushbutton for the doorbell.

NSFW - S5-E4

Factual error: The lady who was killed had been using a shredder "for over ten minutes straight" the night she was killed, according to the handyman. Nothing was apparently missing, though. The next day it turned out that what she received was an employment contract. No matter how many pages the contract was, it does not take ten minutes to shred.

NSFW - S5-E4

Factual error: Higgins finds a bloodstained bag in the dumpster. The stain is bright red. The blood belongs to a person who was killed late the previous night, around midnight. After being in the hot sun for many hours the blood would have oxidized and be closer to a brown color, not bright red.
