The Layover (2017)

Continuity mistake: Back home after being soft-fired, Kate takes the bottle of beer Meg offers her and joins her in the dance. Soon it becomes obvious that there's nothing to party for, for either of them. When Meg says "I don't even want to talk about it" after mentioning the car being towed, Kate takes a sip holding the bottle by the neck. In the following one, she is holding the bottle by the belly.

Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: After the dramatic fight-winning punch, Doan's Mobile Suit is dripping water in a close-up. The characteristic tubes on the head of the mecha are undamaged, but Doan broke one earlier in the fight, and it's broken again in the epilogue. (00:21:00)

Time, Be Still - S1-E14

Stupidity: An explanation is given for the reason why the bombs planted on the Gundam are not activated by remote control (they have plastic explosive in the regiment but not remote controls!), but no reason why they set the timer for the explosion to 30 minutes, way too much to be of any use in combat against the Gundam. Moreover, if the vulnerable spot of the Gundam shield were situated where it explodes at the beginning, it'd be completely useless.

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The 'cleaning lady' hands Richard a used paper tissue. In the close-up of her hand he is picking it up by a messy, crumpled part, but in the next shot Ben Miller is holding it by a side pretty much straight. (00:19:25)

The End Is the Beginning - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Picard during his conversation with Raffi on the bench outside the Federation HQ building is at one point sitting with his arm folded, no tablet in hand or lap. By the end of the convo, without him moving, the tablet reappears in his arms, clutched to his chest. (00:04:55)

The End Is the Beginning - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Zhaban put in a bag some delicacies for Picard. When he mentions "Madame Arnaud's terrine d'oie" his hand is holding the jar in the first shot, during which you can see his hand turn to hold one of the bag's handles. But in the reverse shot he is still holding the jar, and puts it in the bag. (00:27:10)

Murder from Above - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: After the chat with the hotel manager, Jack and Florence are in Stephen's room. The level of drink in Stephen Marston's cocktail glass changes between shots - it's half full when Jack is straining to sit down, and is back up right at the cut. (00:35:25)

Continuity mistake: When Guido carjacks the Citroen, he pushes the driver off the seat in a spot entirely in the shadows. In the faraway view you can see he starts driving in a spot with the asphalt in direct sunlight. (00:10:50)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Murder from Above - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: DI Jack Mooney is looking at the coroner report on the PC screen. He changes his stance and is initially hunched over and then straight, but the person in the foreground is keeping the exact same posture every time the camera cuts to Dwayne. (00:25:35)

The Stakes Are High - S7-E2

Plot hole: There is simply no way that the cheating presented in the episode, with the player reaching in his pocket to mark the cards, consistently for over 5 years (!), and wearing the same obvious prop, could go unnoticed, especially in official tournaments with millionaire prizes, on camera even.

Death in Paradise (2011)

The Stakes Are High - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: Office scene with the poison being revealed. Dwayne in his snazzy detective suit interjects that you have to know the right, or wrong people to get a hold of it. In the wider shot (whole room in frame) Danny John-Jules' left hand covers the cuff of his blue shirt, while in the closer angle the shirt is perfectly visible. (00:13:50)

Mr. White Death - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Cora stands up saying "I don't have to listen to this", the blinds at the window Phil Lewis is standing close to are half open (that is, the top half open, the bottom half of the window obscured). In the rest of the scene the blinds are fully open. (00:37:55)
