Genesis - Part 1 - S1-E1

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.

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: 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.

Question: Is there any reason they have to go to that particular time to start their colony? Why not say 64 million years ago? Since it's after the dinosaurs, but before the evolution of sabertooths and mammoths? It'd be a lot safer.

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.
