The Cyborg - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: To expose The Cyborg duplicate of himself, Nelson disrupts the nerve controls on the computer facsimile's left hand. But The Cyborg Nelson's right hand is the one that subsequently malfunctions. (00:45:20)
The Cyborg - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: At the end, Crane shoots The Cyborg Nelson in the forehead. It clutches at its completely intact face and falls down. We cut to crew reactions and then back to the fallen cyborg - and now its head is nothing but a jumble of circuits. Were those delayed-action bullets in Crane's gun? (00:46:40)
Character mistake: Alicia sings the code to Crane and tells him he must remember it exactly the way she does it. He doesn't. He leaves out the extra "la la" before the last stanza. Astonishingly, Alicia says "perfect, now two of us know it." (00:01:05)
Continuity mistake: Nelson spins the roulette wheel. We see a close-up of the wheel slowing down. Cut back to a full shot, and now the wheel is spinning faster than ever, even though no one has touched it. (00:42:15)
Continuity mistake: Nelson takes the captured assassin's knife and says that Alicia was killed with one just like it. But he can't possibly know that. He never saw the body or the weapon. Only Crane was with Alicia when she was murdered, and Crane, still missing in action, hasn't been in contact with Nelson. (00:42:15)
Continuity mistake: When a scuba diver (Pilar Seurat) approaches the flying sub, her regulator is on the left and her dive knife is on her right leg. Also, she activates the underwater voice transmitter with her left hand. Once aboard the flying sub, her regulator is on the right side, with the knife strapped to her left leg. Also, she's right-handed. The film of Seurat - more likely her stunt double - swimming towards the sub was likely "flipped".
Factual error: Due to the extensive use of borrowed footage from the WWII film "The Enemy Below," the 1970s crew of the renegade sub (who are not German and who wore civilian clothes in most shots) suddenly acquire 1940s German U-boat caps and uniforms. (00:30:00)
Factual error: The Seaview's military history computers need an upgrade. The derelict German sub is identified as a WWI ship, the U444, supposedly sunk in 1918. There were only 167 U-boats in WWI. U444 wasn't built until 1942. And the sub's design is definitely WWII, not WWI. (00:02:30)
Visible crew/equipment: When Nelson says, "Let's get out of here," the shadow of the entire camera rig moves by on the side of the navigation console. (00:07:45)
Factual error: The derelict sub is said to have suddenly moved itself more than 30,000 sea miles from its original position. This makes no sense. The entire circumference of the Earth is only 22,000 sea miles. And if the sub had somehow circled the globe plus an additional 8,000 sea miles, there'd be no way to tell that it hadn't simply moved just 8,000 miles. (00:08:10)
Plot hole: The Seaview's crew have a wild shootout aboard ship, and their bullets are seen to go all the way through a 6-inch-thick hatch door. Gee, you'd think that somewhere during their military training, somebody would have taught these guys why firing high velocity weapons on a submerged submarine is a really bad idea. (00:38:15)
Continuity mistake: Kowalski's uniform and hair are soaked after sealing the hatch from the hull breach, but his uniform is bone dry and hair properly combed when he immediately reports to the Seaview's Control Room.
Factual error: Captain Crane's periscope view of the boat accident survivor is an overhead and down view, while a real periscope view would be level with the ocean surface.
Visible crew/equipment: The boom mic's shadow is visible behind Riley as he speaks with Dr. Holden.
Continuity mistake: Interior shots of the flying sub sows the sub rocking violently but exterior shots show the sub lying still on the sea floor.
Continuity mistake: The shot from the rear of Kowalski and Nelson shows Kowalski holding the scanner. The next scene Nelson asks Kowalski what is on the scanner and then tells Kowalski to pick it up.
Continuity mistake: During the battle a railing on a pirate ship falls off, only to be seen in the next shot intact, then missing in a subsequent shot.
Revealing mistake: While the Seaview rocks violently back and forth from the concussion of the under water explosion, the pencils, folders, papers, etc., on the navigation table do not move.
Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of the camera is visible as Captain Brent walks the Seaview's corridor.
Visible crew/equipment: The camera shadow is visible when the medical team removes the injured crewman on the stretcher.
