Chutes and Ladders - S5-E2

Revealing mistake: As Iris is telling Detective Lowe about Mr. March when he built the hotel (with the flashback) in the close up shot of the police officer holding the handkerchief, you can see The Dead victim's stomach moving as the actor is breathing, although he's supposed to be dead. (01:01:35)

Chutes and Ladders - S5-E2

Revealing mistake: When Tristan Duffy is sitting on the chair and looking through guys on a dating website to lure to the hotel, you can see he is just looking at photos in the gallery on the iPhone he's using. (has all the gallery interfacing) yet he clicks the screen and it makes a noise like he was on an actual dating app. (01:07:54)

Election Night - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: A man in a beige jacket and blue jeans walks into the crosswalk and crosses the street. As Ally and Ivy enter the crosswalk on the opposite side, the same man passes them in the crosswalk.

Holes - S7-E5

Revealing mistake: After Meadow tells Ali about the cult, Ali's phone shows that her phone call to Ivy has been active for 13 seconds, when in reality the call has been active for much longer than that.

THGhost

Forbidden Fruit - S8-E3

Factual error: All the survivors save Ms Venables and Mead die from eating apples injected with snake venom. The show is confusing venom with poison. Venom must be injected into the bloodstream to be dangerous. Eating venom is harmless to humans. Unless all of the survivors had stomach ulcers, none of them should have shown any ill effects, nor should they have died.

Allan Hall

Camp Redwood - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: After Trevor scans the woods with the flashlight from the porch, he lowers it to his side, but the next shot of him from the woods shows him still holding the flashlight up and his arm extended.

Camp Redwood - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: The view of Ed is through the right front of the van's windshield when he says, "Did you say Redwood?", then the next shot of him shows he is further away from the van and not near the windshield.

Mr. Jingles - S9-E2

Continuity mistake: Xavier holds his flashlight low when he turns to shine it on the camp light that just went out, but the next shows him holding the flashlight higher, and closer to his ear.

Show Stoppers - S4-E12

Trivia: They pay homage to the original 1932 movie Freaks. In Freaks, Cleopatra gets mutilated and turned into a tarred and feathered bird for visitors to gawk at in terror. Hercules gets viciously attacked under the carnival vehicle. In this episode, Stanley gets cornered by all the freaks under the carnival vehicle and gets viciously attacked and mutilated to resemble Meep (a feathered freak who was killed by the cops in an earlier episode).

Home Invasion - S1-E2

Question: If I remember correctly, the Harmons moved to LA 6 months after Ben's affair. He mentions treating Tate for several weeks. How is it that Hayden is just now finding out she's pregnant? Also, that she is early enough into the pregnancy to have an abortion?

Answer: He flew back a few times to be with her as mentioned in their fight.
