Eureka

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Zoe are walking into town, the camera is behind them and there are people walking on the sidewalk towards them. The shot changes to alongside them, then when it cuts back the people have vanished.

Bowling255

Glimpse - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Dr Lee, the old man, at one point, he waves with his left hand, then the angle changes and he's waving with his right hand. (00:20:35)

Reprise - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: When Jo comes up to see her new house burned down, there's a lot of sunlight. When Zane passes by, the shot changes and nearly all the light is gone, as if it were dusk.

Phased and Confused - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Captain Eureka puts out the fire at the pumping station, Jack's Jeep somehow gets on fire, but we are able to see where the fire went, and it didn't come anywhere near the road or the Jeep.

All That Glitters - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: We see that there's a "Do Not Cross" hologram in front of Cafe Diem when Henry arrives to check things out. When the group leaves, the hologram disappears from the outside shot.

Maneater - S2-E11

Suggested correction: The episodes in the first season were aired out of order. The previous episode that showed the traffic light was produced after "Blink."

The light is in every episode including the first one.

Bowling255

Then I would suggest trying to submit a screen shot because I never saw the traffic light on Main and Archimedes in the first episode.

Stoned - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, when Carter tells Grant not to plan the wedding just yet, Carter leaves Cafe Diem and Grant says "May the best man win," as an aside. In this episode, the replay shows Grant saying this while Carter is still in the cafe, just in front of him.

All the Rage - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Fargo and Jo are going to the section three lab, a scientist holding a beaker runs into them. He spills the liquid and bends down to clean it up. The amount on the floor changes from shot to shot.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Sheriff Carter has only one Jeep Cherokee for his staff. It constantly changes from a 1989 to a 1990 model throughout the series. This can be caught easily by looking at the triangular window near the hinge on the front doors. Jeep removed the tilting hinges on the window after the 1989 year was discontinued. This happens throughout season one and two.

Phased and Confused - S3-E6

Other mistake: Captain Eureka losing his finger makes absolutely no sense. He doesn't cry out in pain, there's no blood, and where the finger ended up is completely illogical. The finger didn't just sever on its own; it's shown that severing only occurs when passing through objects. Captain Eureka goes through a wall that is a good fifteen feet away from where the finger is discovered, and it is implausible to think it could have rolled there on its own.

Show generally

Question: I've been re-watching this show, and have noticed this in nearly every episode. In scenes inside GD, there's always one person, a background extra, who seems to have clear plastic wrap over their clothes. Do you know what that is all about?

Holly Halfman

Chosen answer: It's basically just a type of suit that's made for whatever special project they're working on. No different than a lab coat, hazmat suit, fire coat, etc.
