The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Xavier and Cyclops begin arguing in the hallway, the door and doorway to Jean's hospital room are visible over and behind Xavier's right shoulder, and a chart is a few feet to the right of the door. A few shots later when Cyclops is telling Xavier that he failed to warn everyone, the chart is still visible, but now the door is missing, with the wall now appearing to be longer. (00:06:40)

The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is getting ready to attack Dark Xavier, the ticket booth behind him is unoccupied. When Dark Xavier deflects Gambit's kinetically charged playing card to the ticket booth counter, a man is now inside the booth. The bottom center window also goes from being closed to being open.

The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is looking at Moira and Banshee from his window, as the camera zooms in on the latter two, you can see they are facing each other, and Moira has her left arm on or near Banshee's hip. When the shot changes, they are standing side by side, with Moira's arms wrapped around Banshee's left arm. (00:17:41)

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.
