Continuity mistake: At the waterfall, after jumping off the cliff and into the water, Skye leads Josh to the rock carvings. Josh's wet hair keeps changing position from being completely slicked back, to partially covering his forehead, to being completely forward over his brow.
Continuity mistake: After removing their rebreathers, they are again with them at 12:48, and then are sans the rebreathers and their jackets at 13:19.
Resistance - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Casey Durwin deliberately stalls his motorized wheelchair in front of the Phoenix Group convoy (so Jim Shannon can slip into the last vehicle), his chair's position keeps changing. From the front angle, the chair is directly centered in the middle of where the truck is. When seen from Malcolm's view on the side, Durwin's chair is now partially clear of the truck's front end, then it's back in the middle.
Continuity mistake: When the Sixers are in Terra Nova after the two Carnotaurus have been repelled, Mark Reynolds appears and disappears from beside Maddy during the shots of Maddy, Zoe and Elisabeth.
Continuity mistake: When Skye, Josh, and the other teens reach the waterfall, Skye says she's taking the shorter (and more dangerous) route. After the others have left to take the longer path, Skye strips down to her bikini, drops her outer clothes on the ground, then jumps off a 45-foot cliff into the water below, with Josh following her. When they meet up with the other teens shortly after, Skye is suddenly fully dressed again, even though her clothing was left atop the cliff, and her wet hair is now dry.
Continuity mistake: Skye and Josh are swimming by the rocks with the geometric drawings. When they get out of the water they focus on Josh and it's sunny on both of them, and overcast when they focus on Skye, from shot to shot.
Chosen answer: Because that's where the rift led. They don't have a time-travel machine, capable of taking them wherever they please - all they have is a hole in time leading to one single time period.
