Continuity mistake: The first three episodes have zero continuity when it comes to Piper's love life. In Ep1 "Witch Trial" Piper is hooking up with the guy who is looking at the loan for P3. Then in Ep2 "Morality Bites" she is with Leo (presumably they have secretly been together for months as they discuss their many issues being able to talk when they're both so busy with magic crises and how Leo hasn't figured out how they can be together without clipping his wings). But by Ep3 "The Painted World" Piper and Dan are already together. They has been no discussion of Piper and Leo breaking up and zero mention of Piper and Dan getting together (in fact, the last time we saw Dan in Ep1, he and Phoebe were flirting pretty heavily). I am so confused and I do not at all remember these inconsistencies from when I first watched these episodes years ago. Were these shot and aired out of sequence or something?
Suggested correction: Your last statement is correct, which also invalidates your error. Ep3, "The Painted World" was produced before Ep2, "Morality Bites" but "Morality Bites" was aired first, out of sequence.
Suggested correction: Piper and Dan weren't together in The Painted World, they weren't together until she's a man, baby, a man. When Piper sees his dating tape.
Witch Trial - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When the book was taken, Phoebe has her necklace above her shirt, but when she runs downstairs, her necklace is underneath her shirt and then is back on top of her shirt again. (00:06:15 - 00:18:25)
Witch Trial - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: At the spiritual place Phoebe had tan marks, but later on she didn't have any tan marks. (00:10:35)
Continuity mistake: Phoebe was the first to get out of the kitchen, then Piper followed, and last was Prue, but when we see them running to the window, Phoebe is first, then Prue then Piper. (00:00:40)
Continuity mistake: In 'Morality Bites', Phoebe has her premonition about being executed while watching a news report on a baseball player, right after she and the others punish Pratt. When she returns in time at the end of the episode, they all watch the news report first and only afterwards look out the window and see Pratt. (00:02:10 - 00:39:50)
Continuity mistake: When Prue, Piper, and Phoebe return from the future, Prue and Piper hug Phoebe in relief. In the following shot, Piper wraps her arm around Phoebe again. (00:39:20)
Continuity mistake: When Piper writes the name "Nell" backwards on the castle window she uses two fingers so each letter is doubled lined, but when the name is viewed from the outside all the letters are single lined. Additionally, after she writes the backwards "N" on the bottom right window, in the next closeup of the swords' pointy ends that window is blank. (00:30:20)
Continuity mistake: Phoebe had to touch both Jane and Malcolm for them to be trapped in the painting, so how come she didn't have to touch Piper and Prue for them to all be freed? (00:39:25)
Continuity mistake: When Leo comes to the manor to tell Piper about Masselin, during the conversation Prue is not wearing her choker in the shots facing her (with her arms crossed) and Phoebe, but in the next shot when Leo tells Piper that he knows she's upset we see Prue's choker suddenly around her neck. (00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: After Phoebe tells Piper about the balloon plan, when Piper starts talking about Leo she fills the blender on the counter, and in the two shots facing Piper the white lid is on top of the blender, but in the shot facing Phoebe the lid is gone before she turns it on. (00:19:10)
Continuity mistake: After the potion is spilt, the green stain it leaves on Phoebe's skirt keeps changing both size and colour. (00:31:30 - 00:34:35)
Continuity mistake: When Prue leaves Buckland's, she's wearing a red tank top, but when she arrives at Camp Skylark, her shirt is different, both in style and color. She can't have stopped to change, because it's mentioned she left the auction house and headed directly to the camp. (00:07:00 - 00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: After Prue and Phoebe send contagious Piper back up to bed, it cuts to three consecutive shots of buses arriving at camp. In the first shot, the bus license plate is white with the number "2IAB345" and we see markings on the bus as the counselor exits. The second closer shot shows two kids exiting the bus. Then in the third wideshot, with those same two kids beside the door, the license plate is now blue with the number "876QPD" and we see the same markings on the bus as in the first shot, so we know it's the same bus. (00:22:05)
Continuity mistake: As soon as the water demon enters Sam, we can see that Prue's hair is completely dry. Then when she flips the switch to electrocute Sam to kill the water demon, her hair goes from dry to wet without ever coming into contact with any water. (00:36:25)
Continuity mistake: In this episode, the Cupid needs his ring in able to "fade" from place to place but in Season Eight Coop loses his ring to a demon and he is still able to "fade" from place to place. (00:18:00)
Continuity mistake: When Matthew starts crying and Piper freezes him, Prue puts her hands on her forehead. In the following close up, her hands are brushing her hair back, then back on her forehead in the next wide shot. (00:23:00)
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe first meets and talks to Nathan in the hospital, she has no ring on her right hand in shots showing her face, but in any shots from behind her she has a ring on. The ring appears and disappears between transitions during their conversation. (00:07:50)
Continuity mistake: When the ninja doll's eyes first open, they're blue. Toward the end, when he sneaks into Nathan's hospital room to stab him, his eyes are brown. (00:20:35 - 00:29:10)
Continuity mistake: Just after the girls are quarantined, we see the ninja sneak into the little boy's room. He uses the sword to keep the door from closing, and some blood drips onto the floor. Two shots later, we see the same floor and the blood is gone.
