Eureka

Primal - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Series 1, Episode 9: Primal. As Carter and Taggart are crawling through the access tunnel, the torch attached to the side of Taggart's goggles is pointing downwards, below his line of vision as established by the lenses on the front. As the shot changes to a close-up on Taggart, the torch is now pointing forwards, aligned with the lenses. (00:13:50)

One Small Step... - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: When Andy pushes Jack out of the way when the F.T.L. is malfunctioning he is pushed into 2 stacks of crates, they are seen all falling away from him. The next shot of him he is just falling against the crates and one of them falls on him instead of away from him and the other stack stays where it is.

Phoenix Rising - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Taggart shoots the pile of skin grafts, it explodes, covering him, Jack, and Jo in guts. There's nothing on Tag's shoulder at first, but after a couple of shots, there is now a slab of skin on his right shoulder.

Knever

A New World - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, when Jack comes home to find Tess there, Tess says "I thought you'd never get here" and then asks if he wants a drink and goes to the kitchen. In the beginning of this episode (which is suppose to be the same scene) she says "I thought you'd never get home" and Jack replies "you're not in Australia" and then Tess asks S.A.R.A.H. to make him lunch.

One Giant Leap... - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: Before the launch when the countdown timer speeds up, the timer shows 21:09 and counts down to 21:00 then goes up to 21:59 instead of 20:59. Later the timer is at 18:08 and in the next shot of the timer it's at 18:18.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Cobb loses his leg, Allison looks down and we see his leg back from the edge of the hole. The camera moves and we see his leg right next to the hole.

Founder's Day - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene where Dr. Grant gives Jack the crank for the satellite dish, Henry turns his hat around so it is backwards, later on in the scene it is now facing forward, then is backward again, then at the end of the scene he is seen facing it forward.

This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18

Plot hole: When Dr. Hughes is racing to save Allison when he thinks he is Carter from the events that happened in "I'll Be Seeing You" Henry says he is racing for a cliff, and that the cabin was just a hologram. But in the episode the Cliff was the hologram disguising the cabin. Henry even commented in that episode that he did not remember a cliff being there.

Just Another Day... - S5-E13

Trivia: In the final scene, as Jack and Zoe are heading out of Eureka, they pass their younger selves heading into Eureka. This scene is from the pilot episode where Zoe sees another version of her and her dad. However, in the pilot episode, the other (older) Jack and Zoe are in Jack's original car, not his Jeep, and other Zoe waves at them. I would call this a mistake, but I'm listing it as trivia because I know someone would say "after they came back from 1947, things changed so this changed too."
