Roswell

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant where Max, Michael and Isabel are talking, Max is sitting at the end of the table. Isabel walks up with her food and sits down right next to him. The tables have bench seats, so she can't just sit down - she would have to step high over the bench or sit on the other end and slide next to him. (00:13:05)

Phoenix

Heat Wave - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Liz and Alex are in jail and talking through the bars, you can see in several scenes that the bars are evenly spaced about 4 inches apart. Then there is a closeup of Liz and a bar is missing in front of here face. It appears wide enough for her head to fit through. You can see the normal spacing of the bar to our left of her face and the one left of that. It is much more narrow than the ones in front of her. (00:34:00)

TE5LA

The White Room (1) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When Michael is trying to copy the fingerprints of the dead agent, Nasedo uses his power to transform Michael's outfit, which includes a jean jacket, into a suit and tie. When Nasedo hands him the comb, in the shot facing Michael he is in the suit and tie, but in the shot from behind Michael you still see him in the jean jacket. They show these camera angles twice.

Phoenix

The White Room (1) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: As Michael, Isabel, and Tess are observing the hand scanner, the door and the agent using it move exactly the same way twice: once after he opens the door and again on a closeup on the scanner. Both times the agent steps to the left and the door begins to open. (00:16:25)

Phoenix

The Convention - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Max tackles Hubble, who loses his grip on the gun as they drop to the ground, but the sound of the gun hitting the ground occurs slightly after the shot where it does so. Moreover, Hubble is still holding the gun tightly as Max tackles him, but it has somehow traveled several feet and completely stopped moving by the time they hit the ground less than a second later. (00:40:10)

Phoenix

Phoenix

The Convention - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene where Max drives Hubble, the background keeps changing speeds depending on which actor the camera is facing. It's slowest behind Max, faster behind Hubble, and fastest in the shots that have neither. Also in some shots they are driving into the sunset and in others the sunset is behind them. (00:34:15)
