Phoenix

Prodigy - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Tanaka shows the picture of Jude as a newborn, the person seated nearest to Max is a blonde woman in a black suit. When Jude goes to play the piano, there is a man in a white lab coat sitting there. Max is sitting on the aisle and if someone came to switch seats they would pass in front of her; no one did. The man sticks around for a few shots, but when Lydecker sits next to Max the blonde woman is back. (00:08:50 - 00:10:00)

Phoenix

Prodigy - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Logan approaches the police barricade someone points a rifle at him in the foreground, but when Sung clears him the nearest guard is too far away to do this. (00:24:00)

Phoenix

Prodigy - S1-E7

Plot hole: Darius is fooled by Max's life size shadow walking on the projection screen into believing she is actually there. There must be a projector focused on the screen centered in the room to project on the flat surface without distortion, either in the small room behind Darius or hanging from the ceiling. If it was in the small room, Darius' shadow would appear on the screen as he was standing in the middle of the room, and Max's ruse wouldn't work because she would be behind Darius and projecting a much larger shadow. If the projector was on the ceiling, there is no way Max's shadow could walk so nonchalantly onscreen. - she'd have to be suspended just to show up on it. Either way, it would be impossible to create a life size shadow as shown here without standing between Darius and the screen. (00:37:15)

Phoenix

Prodigy - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: When Max knocks Darius down in the projection theater, he lands against the door. The entire door and frame shake with the force, but he barely touches it. (00:37:25)

Phoenix

Cold Comfort - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: During his conversation with Herbal at the beginning, Normal switches from hands at sides to hands raised to his chest as he explains the importance of June 12. (00:02:30)

Phoenix

Max Guevara: Two million years of human evolution and this is what we get.
Max Guevara: You morons.

Show generally

Question: This may seem a bit stupid, but I'm new to the show, and didn't start with the pilot: what is that place where Max, Cindy, Sketch, etc. hang out (Where Normal works)? Judging by the presence of lockers, I would assume it's a gym.

Answer: It's their job. They are bike messengers and have lockers to hold personal stuff.
