Continuity mistake: When the opening of the Astral Plane is first shown emerging from Mt. Kilimanjaro's Kibo summit, the summit is correctly depicted as being somewhat flat.

Whatever It Takes - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The boomerang that Xavier uses to throw at the jungle warrior astride the pterodactyl appears from nowhere. While it probably belonged to the warrior himself, neither he nor the other warrior with him were shown to have dropped it when they swooped by and captured Magneto and knocked Xavier down.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is heading to the store, the driveway of the mansion is shown to have a roundabout by the front door, and a small path leading to the front gate. However, the previous episode 'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 showed the driveway was a winding path longer than what is shown here, and there was also no roundabout. (00:06:04)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
