Corrected entry: Hathor is seen leaving the room, when she is supposed to be dead in the bucket of dead parasites. (00:40:40)

SGU Stargate Universe (2009)
Corrected entry: In the last two episodes of season 1, the Lucian Alliance invades Destiny. This makes no sense because the Lucian Alliance is a bunch of smugglers and thieves, and would have no reason to want to invade a ship they can't control, when they would have no way home, and the ship is of no use.
Correction: The Lucian Alliance want Destiny for the same reason that Stargate Command want it; it's Ancient technology.

Doctor Who (2005)
Corrected entry: In 'Father's Day' (Series One), Rose holds herself as a baby, and it causes a 'wound in time', yet in 'The Big Bang' (S5 Finale), Amy interacts with herself when she was young, and nothing appears to happen.
Correction: The fact that all of reality is collapsing around them may have something to do with it - at the time of the interaction the universe is significantly smaller than it normally is, plus the young Amy has no equivalent conflicting future, as she'll be destroyed along with everything else shortly afterwards.

Starship Troopers (1997)
Corrected entry: The Federation is in conflict with the Bugs and mention is made early on that they throw asteroids our way. Yet, an asteroid manages to "sneak up" on Buenos Aires. One would think that they would be on the look out for such things. We have even see them destroy one. Yet, B.A. gets zero warning. An asteroid could sneak through if it were accelerated to near light speed. But in that case an asteroid equivalent to the mass of the asteroids we are shown would pretty much vaporize the Earth. (E-MC2).
Correction: It's possible that the Bugs either got lucky or refined their targeting and managed to get an asteroid in close, or it's possible that the military let one through as a false flag operation to incite people (like Rico) to join the military.
Correction: Given that it would be impossible for it to actually have come from Klendathu, it's implied that the government did it themselves to gin up support for the war against the bugs.
Correction: The media coverage at the start of the film is from 1 year in the future, after the events of the film. Just as the scene in the school starts, "1 Year Earlier" is shown, so the asteroid that hits B.A is the first, that Earth was not prepared for.

Starship Troopers (1997)
Corrected entry: Repeatedly in the movie we are shown media broadcasts which spare nothing in showing mangled and mutilated bodies. Media reports from the battlefield show Bugs dismembering humans and biting them in two. However, when the Bug is feed a cow, it is censored. Likewise, the experiments on the Brain Bug are censored.
Correction: The mutilated bodies would be shown in order to encourage more people to join the military and thus the war. The cow being censored may be due to groups like PETA still existing (we're an odd bunch us humans) and the Brain Bug may have been censored as classified rather than for any violence reason. Remember this is a Fascist Military producing propaganda not a free media reporting facts.

Starship Troopers (1997)
Corrected entry: At times during the movie, the "bugs" are referred to as Arachnids. Arachnids are not bugs. And none of the bugs particularly look like arachnids.
Correction: It's meant as slur against the enemy, it doesn't have to be taxonomically correct.

Firefly (2002)
Bushwhacked - S1-E2
Corrected entry: When the Feds are searching Serenity for River and Simon (who are in spacesuits on the outside of the ship) one soldier picks up and flips over the placemats on the table. This is pointless because, obviously, there's nothing that could have been hiding under them.
Correction: There could have easily been code-words or passwords or really anything under the placemats. The alliance is obviously used to dealing with smugglers and knows quite a few of their tricks.

Watchmen (2009)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the funeral scene, when the hearse arrives, there are three people visible on the right side of the screen. However, when the viewer observes these people during the shot inside the hearse as the coffin is removed, another person is visible with them: Rorschach, holding a "The End is Nigh" sign.
Correction: There is a wide angle shot of the hearse arriving; on the far right is Ozymandias, his secretary and Nightowl II, on the far left is a military detail: and Rorschach with his sign. Rorschach then moves from left to right as the coffin is removed, crossing in front of the Watchmen as Dr. Manhattan exits the limo.
3rd Feb 2010
SGU Stargate Universe (2009)
Corrected entry: Season 1, episode 9 "Life": The new crew of Destiny discovered a chair in a previously unexplored section of the ship, that was immediately identified as being similar to the one Colonel O'Neill found that downloaded information directly into his brain (Stargate SG-1, "The Fifth Race" and "Lost City, Part 1"). Colonel O'Neill never encountered a chair such as the one that was discovered aboard Destiny - in fact, the device O'Neill found could best be described as a hole in the wall that encased his head in a helmet to secure him for download. That being the case, how could the crew of Destiny instantly determine the chair's purpose?
Correction: The chair in Antarctica (Lost City Part II and Rising SG:A) is similar enough to the one on board Destiny.

300 (2006)
Corrected entry: If metallic shields of Spartans are not damaged by forceful strokes of enemy swords and spears, then how can arrows make large holes in them?
Correction: The shields are quite thick and strong. The arrows don't make holes in the shield: they end up embedded in the shield (which requires considerably less force). The swords and spears are also swung with less force and so don't make any noticeable damage.

Stargate SG-1 (1997)
Corrected entry: Throughout the whole first season and some of the second, Walter or someone else in his position, counts the time it takes for something to get to its destination from when it enters the wormhole. They tend to say something like "Object should reach destination in, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." But after the first season or two they stop and it is not brought up until later when it is said that travel through a stargate is almost instant, and in one later episode Carter says that it takes about 0.3 seconds on average to travel through a wormhole and that the travel time from the last team to come through the gate was over three seconds and that was a long time. That must mean that 5 seconds would be like traveling from another galaxy in a different dimension through a black hole.
Correction: After the first season Carter and the SGC have been able to better compensate for stellar drift, meaning that a lot less time is needed to reach the destination.

I am rewatching SG1 and I saw a weird movement then I saw some sort of distorted effect and then you see the (assuming) stuntwoman transitioning out of the room. So of course when I watched this I wondered is she still alive, but she does not appear later in the ep, so I assumed it was a goof.
The transition out of the tub does looks odd (intentionally) and then you see someone that looks like they're walking pass the shot. But Hathor does appear later in the episode, she's seen leaving through the Stargate.
