Seekest Thou the Road - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Norm the jeweller appraising the locket, depending on the camera angle he holds it in his right hand or with both hands. Then, before the scene wraps up, he makes the 200 $ offer with folded arms, but listens to Agnes' reply with open arms. (00:11:35)

Seekest Thou the Road - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Agnes forces Dottie to cooperate by threatening to disturb the quiet of the library. Just before she starts shouting, she puts the card down directly on the desk. However, in the next shot, the card is atop a book. (00:06:05)

Agatha All Along (2024)

Seekest Thou the Road - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Agatha crouches by the freshly rolled-over corpse, does not touch it, but when the camera pans up and away as she walks off, it changes position (for instance, their arm moved to the opposite side of the "1" tag). (00:03:50 - 00:04:40)

Seekest Thou the Road - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the woods, Agatha picks her locket up from a puddle. Herb calls her because they are going to roll the body over. Look at her ponytail as she turns around; in close-up, it suddenly gets over the coat's collar. (00:03:30)

Circle Sewn With Fate / Unlock Thy Hidden Gate - S1-E2

Plot hole: Spoiler - considering what emerges at the ending of the series, Agatha's behaviour in this episode hardly makes sense. She had no trust in the Witches' road; in fact, she knew it did not exist at all, and her only aim was to steal the powers of the other four witches during a fake ritual. However, one of them is a normal human with no powers, one is a witch with her powers sealed and thus impossible to steal, and she literally tells the third one how her very specific energy-stealing power works - which, of course, is entirely absurd considering she had no purpose for her, given the lack of a real ritual.

Suggested correction: She made do with what she could find. Two of the witches had powers she could steal. Since she was totally powerless at that time, it would be enough for her. After taking the power of just one or two, she could have killed the others just as easily. It didn't matter to her that one of them was not a witch at all; she needed four to make them believe they were walking the witches' road.

"I can't steal your magic unless you blast me with it. So if you show a little self-restraint, which, let's be honest, you're gonna need to, all that power is yours to keep." This is not me paraphrasing her for humour or to be concise; it's the actual dialogue to the person she plans to rob of their power. And it is 100% accurate; there is no "spark" she can steal without being hit directly. This level of candour makes sense only if there is an actual point to the ritual, and her subsequent attempt at taunting them is desperation because the ritual does not work, so then, at that point, she has to make do with what she has. Not if the whole thing was a sham to begin with.

Sammo

I agree it's strange she would warn her about her ability if she planned to have them attack her, but Alice did in fact use her powers on her later without thinking about those consequences. So maybe Agatha hoped she would forget or not show restraint once she angered them enough. The witches in the past all seemed very eager to attack her after being taunted, and seemed to have been working for her for centuries too, so why not now?

Matlock (1986)

The Professor - S1-E11

Plot hole: The forensics for this case have been quite shoddy at best, considering that Tate was drugged and not simply intoxicated (yet no toxicology test was performed) and the dog wasn't run over but repeatedly beaten with a tyre iron (which is a wildly different kind of injury). Nobody brings this sort of objection forward - the dog one would have easily destroyed the prosecution's case right away since The Professor was asleep at the wheel and not in shape to beat assault dogs up.

Matlock (1986)

The Professor - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Professor Tate congratulates Eric Lane for the improved grades, the two have a playful banter, and Tate says he's "happy to be proven wrong." Christopher McDonald has to wipe off some streamers that got in his hair. In the next close-up, he still has streamers on his shoulder despite the fact he brushed them away entirely. A similar mistake happens later on when he is carrying the unconscious professor out of the room; streamers suddenly are all over him from one shot to the next. (00:02:40)

Matlock (1986)

The Professor - S1-E11

Stupidity: The gas station attendant can (at least hypothetically, he turns out to be wrong) recognise someone who did a hit-and-run a long distance away at night, but somehow he does not recognise in court the client of the station who was with him at the same time and interacted with him for a few minutes.

Matlock (1986)

The Professor - S1-E11

Plot hole: Matlock figures out that The Professor wouldn't have been able to see the security guard from 50 yards without glasses, and that's what tips him off about The Conspiracy: the guard testifying that the man wasn't wearing any. However, when we see the scene happen at the beginning of the episode, the person posing as Prof. Erskine Tate is, in fact, wearing glasses. (00:04:15 - 00:22:15)

Matlock (1986)

The Professor - S1-E11

Stupidity: As far-fetched as Matlock's stunts can be in most episodes, in this one you have one of the most egregious examples of something that would never stand. Here, The Witness confesses to murder under the direct threat of an attack dog that Matlock practically sic[s] on him, and nobody bats an eyelid about it. On top of that, the culprit and his associates are all legal scholars, as the episode itself more than once reminds the viewer.
