The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Mueller's assistant gets hit on the head with a bag of counterfeit bank notes. Mueller then walks over to the assistant and ends up stepping on a rake, smacking himself in the face with it. In the wide shot that shows Mueller walking over to the assistant, we can notice the direction between Mueller and the rake would have had Mueller step on the edge of the rake. As it cuts to the close-up of Mueller's foot stepping on the rake, he is now shown stepping on the middle of the rake. (00:20:35)

The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Audio problem: After Mueller's assistant gets knocked out by stepping on a rake, Tintin looks at Mueller and says "That was close". Look at his mouth when he says this. His mouth opens but as he says the line, his mouth doesn't continue to move along with the line. (00:20:40)

Audio problem: Tintin is shown tying Mueller and his partner in crime to a tree with a cable. After he finishes saying "This old cable should hold you for now", we can see his mouth move as if he is speaking before he goes onto the next sentence even though he isn't actually saying anything.

King Ottokar's Sceptre: Part 2 - S2-E5

Question: When Tintin and the King discover King Ottokar's scepter had been stolen, both Hector and the guards are shown to have been knocked out. Later, Tintin points out that Hector had stolen the scepter by placing it in a camera, put it next to the window and shot it out of the window using the camera. If that's how Hector managed to get the scepter out of the building, then what was it that caused Hector and the guards to get knocked out? (00:33:10 - 00:35:50)

Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
