A Little Christmas Queer - S8-E9

Continuity mistake: When Grace and Sam are in the kitchen with Marilyn, after their fumble in the attic, they are both holding water bottles. In the first shot, as Marilyn begins to say "Well let's look again because I know...", Sam is holding his water bottle at his waist. In the next shot as she finishes, saying "...it's up there", Sam is instantly drinking from the bottle. (00:13:40)

A Little Christmas Queer - S8-E9

Continuity mistake: When Grace and Sam are up in the attic sitting on beanbags and talking across a makeshift table, Grace's champagne glass is placed right in front of her. Yet in one shot the glass moves to the other side of the 'table' and then back to its original place in the very next shot. (00:19:00)

A Little Christmas Queer - S8-E9

Continuity mistake: Shortly after arriving at their mother's house, Will's brother, Sam, nervously excuses himself from a conversation with Grace. "Excuse me," he says, "I have to go get a ladder. There's a couple of bulbs out in front, and now it just says 'Happy Ho-days.'" However, exterior shots of the front of the house show no holiday lights whatsoever.

I Love L. Gay - S8-E14

Continuity mistake: When Grace is talking with James in the hotel lounge, he is sitting at a table which has his magazines and cooking recipes spread all over it. After James says he thinks Grace is a hooker, the spread out magazines/papers are suddenly all in one neat pile in the centre of the table - instantly. Then as the scene continues the papers and magazines continue to shuffle or neaten themselves. (00:16:40)

The Definition of Marriage (1) - S8-E15

Revealing mistake: At the very start when Will enters the coffee shop, he walks over and asks the server for a coffee. The server picks up a mug, pretends to push the coffee machine button, holds the mug under the machine for about two seconds and hands it to Will. To top it off you clearly see nothing go into the mug. (00:00:05)

Karen: Gosh, I don't think that I've ever been stressed out. Why would I be? I've got practically no responsibilities, my job's a breeze and I've got a killer rack! Good morning!
