Batwoman (2019)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After some awkwardness in the elevator, Kate arrives at the party. Walks to the left and she comes across a blonde wearing blue pants and top. The woman holds her drink in her left hand, which becomes the right in the reverse shot. (00:20:30)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Factual error: The very first shot of Kate and Reagan taking a walk in downtown Gotham for the lunch date is a wide-angle view. Several flags on the right side of the screen are visible, including the City of Chicago flag with its 4 red stars and the State of Illinois flag. (00:13:20)

Murder, She Wrote (1984)

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Mr. Giles holds the telephone as he interrogates the private eye, who answers in a rather defiant way to the threat of "the local constable" getting involved. So Giles puts the receiver down, but notice that in the first shot he is passing it from the right to the left hand. In the close-up it is the right hand to hang up, though. (00:23:15)

Murder, She Wrote (1984)

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the scene at the train station, Jessica's nephew introduces to her Kitt Donovan from the publishing company. Just as he says "in public relations", a man pops in the foreground - it is an extra that walks out of the rail car. In the reverse shot that follows, the same extra is only then coming out of the train. (00:09:35)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jerry is making the "Lo Mein" joke inside the video store, he is waving his hands around. The hands are out of frame; still his right hand pops in view twice showing he is holding a tape - but he is holding none before and after and he positioned himself away from the shelf. (00:01:35)

The Robbery - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: George sits down at the diners' table with Jerry after his bathroom (and mirror) break. When Jerry asks him "So what are you getting?" he is holding the menu in a different way between front view and reverse. (00:18:40)

The Rabbit Hole - S1-E2

Plot hole: The (real) villain of the episode needs for their own agenda to retrieve the knife Kate brought to the Crows' headquarter in hopes to have it analyzed, and they assault Kate and Sophie while they are in the garage discussing the matter. Even assuming that the villains knew the two women were in that particular location having infiltrated security at the Crows (at the end of the episode Christine speaks of 'whatever surveillance was in the garage', not exactly sounding like she knows any detail), they had no way to know they would be there at all. They were in the garage just because Kate asked Sophie for 'somewhere private'. If their goal was to prevent Kate from having the knife tested, they needed to stop her before she got to the Crows at all. (00:12:20)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Stupidity: The gun stolen by the villain was designed by Batman, according to Luke Fox, in case the wrong person got a hold of the batsuit, which is bulletproof. As shown in the previous episode, the suit has electronic devices like a defibrillator implanted inside, which are remote controlled (huge security hazards, but never mind) and has obvious weak points, like the jaw, that a skilled fighter like Batman himself could exploit. It is not an invincibility suit by any means. So Batman built a super-gun able to kill himself and stored it into a simple warehouse while having already a perfectly working prototype (so he basically keeps 2 of them around); he is obviously an idiot who built a devastating weapon that any villain can steal and use against him (or anyone with body armor and more) for no real reason, a weapon designed to kill and not disable, even, contradicting his MO judging by the rest of the arsenal.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Tommy makes his unceremonious exit, and Kate spots Reagan. During the sequence with her, the same couple (she wears a reddish dress and has black hair in a ponytail) appears by the stretcher and then a few meters behind, even further behind when the camera is on Sophie reacting to her "There you are." (00:39:10)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Jerry is playing with his mom; she handles him a note with Elaine's message. He says "I am such a jackass." His mom asks "She knows... what?" In that shot, Liz Sheridan 's hand is nowhere near her face, where it should be to match the shots before and after. (00:16:55)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Throughout the video store scene, a golden sticker keeps switching position on the adult tape Elaine is holding; The Switch can be noticed particularly easily when they talk about the wedding; Elaine repeats "A wedding?" and the box has no sticker, but few seconds later she laughs about the combover and the sticker is showing. (00:02:50)

Batwoman (2019)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After the title screen, Sophie is reviewing Batwoman footage. First shot and two agents, one with a hat and one with blonde hair in a bun, walk behind her, right to left, met by another agent looking at something in her hands. Cut to the screen Sophie is looking at, and a few seconds later the same extras are doing their exact same walking routine starting from the exact spot. (00:01:25)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In Bruce's office, the museum curator turns around to ask her assistant "Margot, is that the last lens change?" She initiates that line holding the handbag with her right hand, but in the reverse shot she is using that hand to point at her, since the purse instantly went under an armpit. (00:04:10)

Seinfeld (1990)

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode "Good News, Bad News", look out when the waitress discusses the two coffee pots. She says "Trusts me George, nobody wants to see you on caffeine", and the unbuttoned top of Jerry's jumper is noticeably folded - but straightens instantly in his reaction shot. Also it should be noted that she walks away without actually pouring coffee to George - you have to assume a little amount of time elapsed between that reaction shot with Jerry and the following on George. (00:01:45)

Batwoman (2019)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the three-way meeting during the museum party, Sophie says "Sorry, I didn't realise you were here with anyone." A woman in a flower dress passes right behind her. Cut to Kate for awkward moments of silence, and back to Sophie, with the woman who did not make a millimeter of progress in her walk during that second. Even worse, seconds later when she says "You two have fun" the same woman is repeating the action from the beginning. (00:28:25)

Batwoman (2019)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the orphanage fight, Kate at one point is pushed against a pillar by a villain who holds her against it. She grabs a fire extinguisher and smashes another guy in the jaw with it. She does not drop this weapon nor hits with it the villain who is holding her, but in the next shot she is just punching and elbowing him. (00:19:05)

The Dark Half

Stupidity: The protagonist removed a blood-stained bottle from the bloodied car where the murder takes place, and this may incriminate him. To avoid being found out by the police, he disposes of it where, he unironically comments "nobody will find it." Which is...the closet of his bedroom. It works.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the elevator, Kate's dad is looking at the electric wires with a flashlight. His wife says "How can this city trust us to protect it", and he lowers the torch. Next shot, he has it still pointed at the circuitry, and he lowers it only a second later. (00:31:20)

Sammo

Factual error: Emmanuelle Devos goes to the airport to get her husband and daughter. Their plane landed at 7 PM (18:58 to be precise) as shown by the airport monitor. They get a cab to a hotel downtown, and then there's a scene when she books a restaurant from the hotel room. She tells her husband, who just took a shower, that they need to be at the restaurant at 8 PM. Her husband says that there's no rush then, since it's only 7 PM. Of course that's impossible, the Turin airport is about 20km away from the part of the city they are driving through, which at that hour has also significant traffic; if their plane landed at 7, at 8 PM they would hardly have any time left to spare. (00:29:00)
