Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Veronica knocks on the door of room 6, implying that it was empty. In the next shot, we see under the sign for The Camelot, it says "No Vacancies" meaning Lianne could possibly be there still.

Credit Where Credit's Due - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the diner scene with Keith, Veronica and Lamb, Lamb leaves and Veronica starts to go next. As Veronica starts to leave, still sitting in the booth, she puts on her hat (right after she says to Lamb "smell ya later"). The camera angle is on Keith, but you can barely see Veronica putting on her hat. In the next shot, the angle is on Veronica who is just packing up her books. She has no hat on, but then puts it on (again).

Like a Virgin - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the video of Kimmy plays on the school announcements, and she talks about Duncan being hung up on Veronica, there is a cut to Duncan reacting with raised eyebrows in the foreground, while Veronica can be seen in the background with a passive expression. Then it cuts to a close-up of Veronica having a visible reaction with her whole face falling. But since Veronica and Duncan were reacting to the same thing, Veronica's reaction should have been visible in the first shot as well.

Drinking the Kool-Aid - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Veronica shows Keith the picture of Rain on the milk carton, she turns the carton around and tilts it backwards with her hand. In the next shot, her hand has disappeared and the carton is sitting flat on the table top. (00:33:25)

Silence of the Lamb - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Deputy Leo is at the police station when a woman reports her daughter is missing, but moments later when Keith tracks Veronica to a storage/warehouse, Leo is playing with his band and doesn't seem to know what is going on and Keith has to tell him that a girl is kidnapped.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In episode 1-12: "Clash of the Tritons," Veronica is in her car talking with Rick. You can tell there is no passenger seat (most likely to make room for the camera).

Duncan: Oh dear God, may no-one have just heard him say 'reign of Kane'.

Not Pictured - S2-E22

Question: 1. At Neptune High graduation, the colors are green and gold. In season 1, wasn't there red involved with the cheerleader uniforms? 2. Why is Dick Casablancas watching the seniors graduate, and then in season 3, he has graduated and is off to Hearst College with the rest of the gang?

Answer: 1. No, the pep squad uniform was green and yellow. 2. He failed one of the classes, the one where they were trying to launch an egg from various heights without cracking the egg. He was pairing with Angie Dahl, who told the teacher that he didn't do anything in the project. The teacher then asked him to pick the project he worked on, and he couldn't do it because he didn't help. Then the teacher told him, "See you in summer school." He couldn't graduate with everyone else because he needed to attend summer school in order to pass that class and graduate. It's assumed that he did, in fact, attend summer school, despite all the mess that happened in the season 2 finale.
