Eureka

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.

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

Other mistake: When Holly and Fargo are playing Dungeons and Dragons, Holly rolls a d20 die and yells, "Critical hit!" but we can see the 20 on one of the upper sides of the die, meaning that she actually rolled a 2, which is most definitely not a critical hit (and actually nearly a critical miss).

Phoenix Rising - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Allison video calls Jack as he's finishing bathing, apparently she can see below the belt, as she remarks for him to cover himself up. But he gets dressed and doesn't move any reasonable distance from the screen, and we then see Allison's view which only captures Jack's torso, so she never would have seen his privates anyway.

Lost - S5-E1

Other mistake: When Zane and Andy get on the elevator, Jo is there to zap Andy. We see Andy start to fall backwards, and then we hear a thud as if he fell to the floor. When the shot changes, he's propped up against the wall. But he was standing too far away from the wall to land against the wall in that position.

Pilot - S1-E1

Other mistake: When the parents freak out about Brian being missing, the back of the camper is shown, as is the part of the camper that's missing due to the distortion sphere. But it doesn't make sense; there are some parts of of the camper that shouldn't be there, mainly the one piece above the ground, where the sphere scorched the pavement but left the camper's end right above it completely intact.

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."

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.
