Nick of Time - S2-E7

The Trouble with Templeton - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: At Freddie's speakeasy, when Laura lifts Barney's script from the table, she begins to fan herself. In the wide shot, the script's titled top page with corner diagonal stripes is gripped under Laura's four fingers, with the blank back page at her thumb. It cuts to a close-up, and now the script is gripped in Laura's hand the opposite way, with the top page at her thumb (the back page is blank).

A Most Unusual Camera - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: The crooks in this episode appear to have obtained the same pile of funny money that the Castles received in "Man in the Bottle." The bills don't even vaguely resemble any real U.S. currency. (00:20:25)

Jean G

A Most Unusual Camera - S2-E10

Plot hole: How did the brother know where his sister and her husband were located after he escaped and jimmied open their door? The couple was staying in a hotel and they acted like they hadn't seen him in quite a while when he appeared on the picture of him walking in the room. They said he couldn't possibly walk through the door because he's been in prison for a year already.

Night of the Meek - S2-E11

Audio problem: Throughout Corwin's scene with the two children on the street, and through Rod Serling's subsequent introduction to the episode, you can hear the loud hiss of fan blowers used to waft artificial snow onto the set. (00:04:50)

Dust - S2-E12

Visible crew/equipment: When Sykes opens the Sheriff's office door to leave, the "sky" outside has a very large equipment shadow on it, hanging over the building across the street. (00:05:10)

Dust - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: The sky behind the hanging scene at the end has several prominent wrinkles in it, betraying the fact that it's not a sky, but a cloth backdrop. In some shots, you can also see shadows on the cloth. (00:19:00)

Jean G

The Invaders - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: The laser burns on the back of the old woman's left hand disappear when the knife is slicing at her through the door. They return a few shots later, though. (00:10:30 - 00:17:30)

Jean G

The Invaders - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: The flying saucer the old woman hacks to pieces with an axe is noticeably not the same one that lands in her attic in the beginning. A cruder version was built for the axing scene because the model used was a studio keepsake - the original spaceship from the classic sf film "Forbidden Planet." (00:23:00)

Jean G

The Invaders - S2-E15

Revealing mistake: When the old lady touches the door handle right before getting cut by the knife she gets paint smeared on her hand from the door handle before being cut with the knife.

Suggested correction: After the car knocks Hector down, all three shots of Hector's eyeglasses properly show his left lens is cracked. First, at 00:02:25, in Hector's close-up when the car's driver thinks about Hector's "asinine jaywalking." Then a bit later, at 00:04:00, in the two shots of Hector when he puts the glasses back on while he's with his boss, Mr. Bagby (on the phone with Felicia, the chorus girl), Rewatch, please.

The Odyssey of Flight 33 - S2-E18

Character mistake: The real speed that was reported was 3,000 knots. At one point, the plane encountered a bright flash, and violent shaking. The Captain surmised that they broke the sound barrier. 3,000 knots equates to over 3,000mph. The sound barrier (Mach 1) is about 767mph, and the captain would know that.

Movie Nut

The Obsolete Man - S2-E29

[A bomb in Wadsworth's room is seconds from going off, causing the Chancellor to panic].
Chancellor: Please, please let me out. In the name of God, let me out. Let me out! Let me out!
Wadsworth: Yes, Chancellor. In the name of God, I will let you out.

Come Wander with Me - S5-E34

Trivia: Producer William Froug rejected an extremely nervous young singer/actress auditioning for the part of Mary Rachel, and recalls thinking that "I'll probably kick myself. She'll probably be a big star." He turned out to be right on both counts. The aspiring young singer's name was Liza Minnelli.

Answer: It's explained in the episode. The aliens are experimenting to see how humans react to various scenarios. This just happens to involve them using super strength.

Thanks. It's been a long time since I saw the episode so I forgot.
