The Flash

Abra Kadabra - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: Near the end when Iris and Joe are talking, Iris sits with her elbow on the couch and her head against her hand. In the next shot, her forearm is resting on the couch, and her hand is hanging down, away from her head.

Bishop73

Cause and Effect - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: The explanation that Cisco draws about the endless cycle changes in between shots, not counting the added words "past", present", and "future" (which he could have written when off camera, not that it would make sense to do so since he already explained what was past, present, and future). Where the loop crosses itself is higher up as well as the "FF + TR" being different.

The Present - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: When The Flash reveals to Julian that he's Barry, he pulls back his cowl, leaving it around his neck. But in shots of Barry's back after Julian says his sister died, the cowl is gone. The cowl is around his neck in all the other shots.

Duet - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: When Barry and Kara get shot outside the bar, at first the spot of blood on Barry's shirt is bigger than when Iris and Mon-El later get to the scene. (00:34:00)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In episode 2.09 of related show "Arrow," during the day the particle accelerator is activated, Barry spends his time with Oliver, Felicity, and Diggle in Starling City. He arrives back in Central City just in time to see the particle accelerator activated, and he is in his lab because he was too late and missed the line at S.T.A.R. Labs. In episode 101 of "The Flash," Barry was never in Starling City during the day the particle accelerator was activated, and he and Iris actually attended the event. (00:02:10 - 00:11:30)
