The Key - S1-E19

Plot hole: C-Note says about pulling a simple bump and grab on The Key like they did before. However, when Abruzzi and his men get The Key the 1st time, C-Note wasn't in the group then. It is extremely unlikely they would divulge this trivial piece of information as the issue is long since resolved. (00:03:50)

Revealing mistake: At the start we see a clip of a heavy forklift carrying a white car in the scrap yard. Later on we see the same clip used again but cut short of the Mustang appearing in shot. (00:07:30 - 00:15:50)

Tonight - S1-E20

Tonight - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: When Abruzzi is on the phone arranging a plane for that night, the train in the station that is seen leaving changes between shots. The number painted on the outside of the front door changes from 3434 to 3410 and the number in the passenger window changes from 418 to 425. These are metal numbers not an LCD display. The destination, Kimball, stays the same. (00:13:35)

Greatness Achieved - S4-E9

Question: How does Don Self know that Miriam should work at Gate when nobody knew about the location of Scylla? Or Whistler wanting to work there?

Answer: Don Self actually worked with Whistler before he died. And Whistler with the bird book actually knew where Scylla was.

Answer: Because Miriam was an agent.

But that still doesn't make sense because nobody knew where Scylla was.

He knew that GATE was mentioned in the bird book. He worked with Whistler and had probably discussed GATE with him, so it was clear enough that it was a big part of the plan to get Scylla. Sending an agent to work there in any position would've been a big help for intel, as she could assess the environment and perhaps uncover what Whistler's plan was. He didn't anticipate T-bag's hijacking of the plan, hence why he sent Miriam and not a more combat-trained agent. She was only there for information.
