The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Black Tom Cassidy is first shown counting his money, he's seated at a table with no wall near his backside. Moments later when Erik the Red is telling Lilandra what name he goes by on Earth, there is suddenly a window behind Cassidy, within an arm's reach. (00:10:22 - 00:11:09)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Moira and Banshee are alerted to Xavier in distress, the building with his room is several yards away from the edge of the cliff. However, when Banshee dives to save Xavier from falling to his death, the edge of the cliff is now only a few feet from the building. (00:02:46 - 00:05:02)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Moira is telling Banshee that Xavier has given everything for his students, she has her left hand placed on Banshee's right arm, and her right arm is down at her side. Then when she remarks that she thinks she's the only friend Xavier has, she is running her fingers through her hair. When this scene was shown in the previous episode however, she is grasping Banshee's arm with both of her hands, and she never runs her fingers through her hair. (00:02:26)

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.
