Lucifer

Pilot - S1-E1

Factual error: The record producer is holding a pistol model 1911 or 1911A1 which is a .45 caliber handgun with a standard magazine capacity of 7 +1 rounds, the +1 being loaded in the chamber, however newer magazines hold 8 +1. Therefore, this handgun can hold a maximum of 9 rounds, however the producer fires 10 shots before Lucifer grabs him. Newer 1911 style pistols are now produced in 9mm which have a greater capacity but the pistol held by the producer was a standard 45 ACP judging by the metal and finish. (00:37:38 - 00:39:18)

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Factual error: The apple scene (as it often happens with Amenadiel's scenes) does not make much sense: ignoring the fact that the liquid in the glass suffers no slowdown (we can assume that being in Lucifer's hand somehow protects it), the apple is already on its descending arc when the two are talking by the piano, but is still up there well after a minute. By the speed it moves, it should already have fallen. Also, why would it drop vertically and not continue its trajectory? (00:13:50 - 00:15:50)

Sammo

Mr. and Mrs. Mazikeen Smith - S3-E3

Factual error: The therapist says to stop the bleeding, Maze will have to remove the bullet and stitch him up. Gunshot wounds are complicated. To remove the bullet one must first perform an X-ray to see where it is, and after the surgery is completed, especially for a gutshot, surgical drains need to be installed till the wound heals. It's a hollow space that will fill up with bile and nastiness and drains are needed to collect the fluid, or else it will just get infected. If only it were that simple. (00:26:30 - 00:27:00)

Everything's Okay - S4-E1

Question: Can somebody explain to me how in Season 4, it's stated that Chloe disappeared after seeing Lucifer's devil face. Apparently the cops rushed into the shootout scene with Cain and took her away, and she hasn't seen Lucifer since. What about in season 3 episode 25 Boo Normal when she worked a case with Lucifer and Ella. Ella confided in Chloe that she sees a ghost and Chloe believed her, and she said she's seen some crazy stuff herself lately. So what's up with her vanishing when she seen him.

Answer: Boo Normal and Once Upon a Time were going to be part of season 4, then the show got cancelled (before being picked up elsewhere). As such they were added on to the end of season three as "bonus" episodes, hence the continuity being off. But not really a mistake, just a quirk of broadcasting. Boo Normal was originally going to be between the episodes "High School Poppycock" and "Infernal Guinea Pig" in season 3 before being slated for season 4, presumably because aside from the point you've raised, it was fairly flexible, continuity-wise.
