Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When the Stark Industries tank is engaging its weapons system against the Hammer Industries vehicle, there are several rock formations immediately behind it. A couple of shots later and the tank is suddenly has no rock formations near it. (00:01:56)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Other mistake: When Iron Man is attacked by Dreadknight, he calls out to Julia saying "He hit a major cyber shot," to which she responds by saying "Who hit what? You're alone out there, Tony." Moments later when Rhodey walks up to Julia, he asks her what's wrong with Tony, and she replies by saying "He thinks Dreadknight attacked him in a terminal reality simulation." Tony never told Julia that it was Dreadknight that attacked him, so she couldn't have known that's who Tony was referring to. (00:04:02 - 00:04:37)

Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Dreadknight is approaching Iron Man for the second time, there is no energy surge around Iron Man's helmet. When the shot changes to Julia watching Iron Man on the monitor, he suddenly has an energy surge around his helmet. When the shot changes back to Iron Man, the energy surge is no longer there. (00:04:38)

Revealing mistake: When Van Cliburn is playing the piano, some of the keys he strikes do not depress. (00:06:08)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Julia and Tony are first shown talking during the piano recital, they each have a glass of water near their right hands. When the shot changes, Julia's glass is suddenly further away from her hand, and Tony's glass looks to have disappeared altogether. Additionally, Tony's suit jacket changes color from black to white. (00:06:30)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Audio problem: When Mandarin is saying "Iron Man is doomed," his mouth is not in sync with the dialogue. (00:07:31)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Audio problem: When Julia's daughter Rachel is saying "I'm a dork," she does so while puckering her lips and kissing Julia on the cheek. While it's possible to speak while your mouth is in that position, your voice will sound different than normal, and Rachel's voice sounds the same as usual. (00:07:58)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Rachel is playing the arcade game, the number of buttons on her sweater varies throughout the scene. (00:09:03 - 00:09:37)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Rachel is zapped by the arcade game joysticks, the shapeshifter pretending to be her friend Leslie is wearing glasses. When the shot changes, "Leslie" is no longer wearing glasses. (00:09:25)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Audio problem: When Justin Hammer is saying "You bring me the plans for the Watchman's database," his mouth movement is not in sync with the dialogue. (00:09:40)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Justin Hammer is giving Tony and company the ransom demands, the top of his chair is higher than his shoulders in one shot, and then lower than his shoulders in the next shot. (00:09:44)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Factual error: The continents on the world map seen in Iron Man's lab are so crudely drawn that they shouldn't pass for an actual map a superhero team would legitimately use. South America looks more like Australia, and what appears to be Madagascar is too big in relation to Africa, and is also on the wrong side of the continent. (00:12:42)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: The size and quantity of the spikes on the walls that begin to close in on Iron Man and Rachel vary from shot to shot. (00:13:07)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man rescues Rachel from the fall, he begins to set her down on a large pipe-like structure. When the shot changes, the two of them are suddenly closer to the T-joint. (00:14:13)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man and Rachel are teleported into the cave, they are standing next to each other. When the shot changes, she is suddenly several steps in front of him. (00:14:53)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Rachel is cradling Iron Man and lamenting not going to her piano lesson, she has a cassette player attached to her hip that wasn't there in previously. Given the state of despair she's in, it's unlikely she would have pulled it from out of her pockets (if it would even fit) just to put it on her hip. (00:16:09)
Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Other mistake: When Iron Man is saying "sound energy, that's it," the mouth hole on his mask can be seen moving in sync with the dialogue. The mouth hole is not designed to move when he talks. Any other time he talks, it remains motionless. (00:16:42)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Some critics criticized the premise of so many one-off battles that were introduced and concluded within one or two episodes. Others felt the first-season plot lines were overly simplistic and never progressed or developed through the season. Also, the rivalry between Iron Man and the Mandarin also failed to capture viewer's attention.
