Continuity mistake: When Chief Wiggum orders his men to open fire on the dome, and the bullets ricochet back, the officer standing farthest from Wiggum is wearing blue gloves on both hands in the overhead side shot, and the other officers are not wearing gloves. However, in the shot facing them, the officer kneeling farthest from Wiggum is the one wearing blue gloves, and now all the others are barehanded. (00:28:35)
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Lisa goes door-to-door with the petition, the door on Milhouse's house has two grooved panels, a tall, 12-panel window, a light fixture above the door, and there's a tree between it and the blue house next door. When Lisa sees Colin and Milhouse again near the end, some of the features of the house have changed - unrelated to the damage Springfield's homes have suffered. The door now has three grooved panels and no mail slot, the window is much shorter, and the light fixture above the door is gone, with no hole in the wall if it had been broken off. The tree between the house and the blue house next door has changed position on the grass as well. (00:09:10)
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Bart walks into Krusty Burger, in the overhead shot the trash receptacle that's beside the door has a plain, flat top with nothing atop it. However, in the following shots the top of that trash receptacle has changed, it now has two raised side lips, and there are also two trays on it. Its height compared to the window behind it drastically changes as well. (00:13:30)
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Lou shoots at the skateboard Bart goes flying in the air, and in the next shot (before he flies past the truck's windshield) we see Krusty Burger across the street (note the triple window and post), and there is a tall, long bush between the street and Krusty Burger. That bush vanishes in the following shots. (00:12:50)
11th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Marge and Homer are in the backyard with the silo, there is a drawing of a pig on it, but in Homer's close-up with part of the silo in the background, the part of the silo that's visible should have the pig drawing at the top, but it does not. Later, when the silo's found in the lake, the words and drawing differ and are much lower on the silo. (00:22:30)
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Homer falls onto the barbecue during the failed escape, there is a lower window at the corner of his house, which didn't exist in the exterior shot of the house, just before we see Homer and Marge watching the news about the silo being discovered. (00:31:50 - 00:34:50)
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Russ Cargill spreads the second set of the five options across the President's desk, the Oval Office background is actually backwards - note the ship painting over the fireplace and pictures on the wall. The background keeps flipping between being backwards and the correct way until 'option 4' is chosen.
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: In the exterior shot of the Simpson house, before showing Homer and Marge watching the news about the silo being found in the lake, we see the side window (facing the Flanders' house, from which they escape later) is a horizontal sliding window. However, from inside the bedroom and also when they are escaping, that same window has changed to a vertical sliding window. The same thing happens with the other window on the opposite side of their chimney.
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: After Homer and Marge watch the news about the silo found in the lake, when Homer walks to the window we see that there are two blue panel drapes with tiebacks on the left and right side of the sliding window. However, when Homer shouts at the mob in the exterior shot, there is also another blue panel hanging down at the center of the sliding window, and the side panels are hanging straight down, without the two tiebacks. (00:32:30)
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: After the news broadcast about the silo being discovered in the lake, in the first shot of Homer nailing the bedroom door shut, the blue panel drapes and valance have become beige (seen right behind Lisa and Bart). (00:32:30)
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When the angry mob breaks down the front door of the house, the door knob is on the right side of the fallen door, at Chief Wiggum's feet. However, when Maggie breaks her bottle and thrusts it forward, in the next shot as Mr. Teeny turns and runs away, the doorknob is on the left side of the door, at Bumblebee Man's feet. (00:32:20)
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When the Simpsons are staying at the Red Rash Inn, there's an air vent on the wall near the door, which appears and disappears between shots.
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When the Simpsons are trying to escape the angry mob, as Marge and Homer get into the car, the driver's side mirror is missing from the door. Then in the next shot, the side mirror appears on the door, but now the rear-view mirror has vanished. (00:33:40)
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: We see the interior of Homer's car twice, first when Homer is at the Hazardous Waste Treatment Center, and then again when he and Marge are trying to escape the angry mob. The dashboard and steering column are entirely different both times. (00:23:20 - 00:35:20)
10th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Lisa sees Milhouse near the end, the door on his house hangs askew from the right door jamb and there is nothing above it. However, after Colin shows up, in the next shot when Lisa jumps up, the door now hangs askew from the left door jamb and there is wiring hanging above it (from the broken light fixture). Also note that the roof is much lower, and a spigot appears under the window. Additionally, Lisa's position when talking to Colin changes - first they're standing to the left of the house, then to the right of it, then in front of the stairs at the center.
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Homer is driving toward the small Alaskan booth, right beside the booth there is a tall flagpole with two raised flags, but when they leave the flagpole has vanished, though it should be seen in this shot since it's on the same little 'island' as the booth. Also note that the snow on the booth and island has vanished.
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: With the second set of options spread across the desk, when Cargill starts manipulating the President's option choice, there is a blank wall to the President's left (the wall faces the viewers). Also note that in this shot the table behind the President (with framed photos) is gone. When Cargill walks away from the President holding 'option 4', that blank wall now has a built-in bookcase, a table and chair.
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Marge sits on the back porch swing knitting 'dome sweet dome' and sees Maggie outside the dome, she runs inside to get Homer. The back door is right behind her and it's a solid door, with the round window missing, though the window does reappear. (00:30:35)
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: After the dome is placed, when the Simpson family runs out the back door of the house and Homer shouts, there is only one window on the second floor, above the back door. There should be two windows. The light fixture on the wall beside the door is also gone in some shots. (00:27:40)
9th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: After Bart has caused the avalanche in Alaska, the animals help Marge and Homer have a special moment, and when the couple join hands note the large window beside the TV, which just vanishes in the following shots of that bedroom.
