The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is first shown in his containment bubble, he is shown with his hands resting at the center of his hover-chair with his left hand on top of the right. When the shot changes, his hands are suddenly separated and at the sides of his chair. (00:14:00)

The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Xavier and the others are approaching Cyclops, Storm, Rogue and Wolverine, Magneto is shown wearing his helmet and Gambit is shown wearing his trenchcoat. When it changes to an overhead shot of the group, Magneto is no longer wearing his helmet and Gambit is no longer wearing his trenchcoat and his normally-black headgear is colored blue. (00:19:20)

The Phalanx Covenant: Part 2 - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When the group is standing together in a circle at the end, Xavier is sort of in the center of the circle and Rogue and Storm are several feet to his right. When the shot changes, Rogue and Storm are suddenly right next to Xavier. (00:19:25)

A Deal with the Devil - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When the X-mansion is shown at the end of the episode, the landscaping around it is different than what was shown early in the episode. When the mansion was first shown, there is a shrub in the shape of a circle on the lawn across from the mansion, but at the end of the episode, the circle-shaped shrub has turned into some bushes. The bushes and trees around the mansion are also different looking and at the far side of the mansion the shrubs have grown taller. Additionally, when Wolverine is walking away from the mansion at the end, a hedge-wall has appeared next to the mansion. It's actually common for the landscaping outside the mansion to vary drastically from episode to episode. This is the first time I noticed it changing within the same episode. (00:04:25 - 00:19:25)

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.
