It's How You Play the Game - S4-E19

6th Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: After Station 51 rescues the novelist from his attempted suicide, when John accompanies the stretcher into the ER, the outlines of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of his shirt.
6th Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: When John and Roy tackle the hallucinating veteran, the outlines of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of Johnny's shirt. As an aside, this scene was shot right outside Universal Studios, note the Black Tower/MCA Tower (which houses Universal's execs) when John tells the veteran that it's not a trick and to calm down.
6th Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny are with the guy who skateboarded and fell into the cactus bush, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on Johnny's right side.
1st Apr 2014
Continuity mistake: On the airplane, when Roy asks Johnny if he knows the flight attendant's name yet, the headset is around Roy's neck, but in the closeup it vanishes, then next shot it reappears again.
1st Apr 2014
Revealing mistake: When Johnny and Roy are crawling on the balcony, during the fire at the apartment complex, when they pass under a window we can see the FX tubes from which the flames shoot out.
1st Apr 2014
Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.
1st Apr 2014
Continuity mistake: During the fire at the apartment complex, when Cap talks to dispatch over the HT and requests a second alarm, we see Roy put up that first ladder, but after the Pasadena engine arrives, Roy's just putting up that first ladder. Second, after Engine 82 extends their outriggers, it cuts to the flames and we see that three ladders are already against the building, but then there are only two up - the third will go up a few shots later (when Roy reaches the balcony) Third, we see Roy start climbing the ladder that's farther from the camera (the one Johnny's holding), but when Roy reaches the balcony, he's climbing up the ladder that's closer to the camera.
1st Apr 2014
Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to 'plane crash into a structure' the address is given as 1145 Delmar Drive, but when they arrive at the apartment complex, the 3-storey structure's address is 775.
1st Apr 2014
Continuity mistake: When Herbert is leaving the station, there are shots of him on the left edge of the bay doorway, but in the shots of the guys looking at Herbert, particularly Chet and Marco who are standing in front of the squad, it's as if Herbert is crawling around towards the center of the bay doorway - their eye contact is way off.
1st Apr 2014
Other mistake: At 6:50 AM, just before the dispatcher transmits the testing tones to Station 51 which wakes everyone up, we're shown the exterior shot of the station and the two flags are already flying. Guys of C shift (as Chet states) haven't arrived yet that morning, so they didn't raise the flags, and we know it's Mike who always raises the flags on A shift, but he only just woke up when the dispatcher sent the tones.
1st Apr 2014
Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex where the jet fighter had crashed there's an explosion, and when one of the firefighters becomes engulfed in flames his helmet falls off, and the special fireproof headpiece that the stuntman is wearing is visible.
1st Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Herbert leaves the station in the morning, dispatch sounds the alarms, and when Roy and John are in the squad while the dispatcher begins talking, there are nice reflections of the camera, reflector screen (in the background), and crew members/cameraman who move around, that are visible on the surface of the spotlight. Additionally, the shadow of the boom/mic is perfectly visible on the windshield as it moves down.
1st Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: After Squad 51 responds to the 'man unconscious' at the laundromat, while they're en route, when Engine 36 contacts them that the man is in full arrest, the reflection of the vehicle with the camera is visible on the spotlight.
1st Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: After Chet tells the guys that they have to get rid of The Mouse, when he says "You don't understand, these things are like rabbits," the moving shadow of equipment, probably the boom mic, is visible on the top cabinet behind Chet.
1st Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: After the guys decide to eat lunch before resuming their CPR practice, when Chet picks up the CPR mannequin and walks toward the fridge, the top of the set is visible at the corner, between the fridge and the stove. We can see the top of the set again later, after Chet picks the losing matchstick and has to set the mousetrap himself.
1st Apr 2014
Other mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire, the address is given as 1127 West Winston, but when they're on the scene, the fire flashes through the front door causing Marco and Chet to fall back, and the house number on the stairs is 1026.
1st Apr 2014
Visible crew/equipment: When the guys are at the gas station with the broken pump nozzle, after Marco and the stretcher are loaded onto the ambulance, the reflection of the location array lighting can be seen on the back of the ambulance, when Johnny shuts its doors.
1st Apr 2014
Revealing mistake: At the gas station with the broken pump nozzle, Captain Stanley and the station attendant head to the garage area to see the main shut-off circuit box, which is located at the far right corner of the garage, but in the next shot, we can see the attendant's reflection behind Roy, and he's standing somewhere else off camera, not where he's supposed to be in the next shot with Captain Stanley.

Daisy's Pick Blind Date - S4-E7
Other mistake: When Johnny and Roy are in the ice house, there's a closeup of Johnny's arms as he's hosing down the ice and removing it from the hypothermic victim's arm, but it's obvious that the dark hairy arms belong to the stunt double, not to Johnny.
