Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: On several occasions, time seems to pass very fast. People leave one place in the daytime, cross town, and arrive at night, even though it is said that the dome is about 10 miles in diameter. It would not take this long to cross town by car.

Pilot - S1-E1

Other mistake: At the beginning when the plane is flying, it appears to crash into the dome from the outside. The curve of the Dome goes from the top right to bottom left and the plane crashes from the left so it is on the outside. But the wreckage falls down inside the Dome.

Suggested correction: The plane was always inside the dome. When we see Barbie and Joe at the dome wall, the camera angle changes to the opposite side. We see Barbie looking up at the plane as it crashes into the inside wall, which he wouldn't have been able to do if the plane was outside and in front of him.

The Fire - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: Julia is throwing the tennis ball at the wall and is turning around to talk to Barbie. The military truck on her right has its front drivers tire on the line where the wall is supposed to be. This would mean that the whole front of the truck would be inside the dome. (00:07:44)

Manhunt - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Junior attempts to find a way out in the cement factory tunnels, he is angered at the fact the dome has cut clean through the factory as well. A few seconds later, Junior turns to the Dome and takes his hood off and yells at the dome. In the next frame with Junior, his hood is back up and he begins punching at the dome, his hood is then removed again. (00:23:25)

Manhunt - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Junior is talking with Julia in the cement factory tunnels, Julia lights a match and turns to him. The match's flame changes position every different frame until the whole match is burnt up. (00:29:15)

Outbreak - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After the shot when Julia is lying on the floor and sees her husband, a 7 of clubs is visible right beside her, underneath her hand. The playing card switches position throughout the next 2-3 shots. (00:28:35)

Blue on Blue - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: At the end of Outbreak, Big Jim finds Angie down in the bunker. Water is flooded everywhere (knee-deep), and Jim has on an orange buttoned long sleeve shirt. When this episode starts, at 2:15 the water is practically gone, and Big Jim is in a blue short-sleeved polo shirt. (00:02:15 - 00:40:15)

Suggested correction: Jim shuts the door when he discovers Angie, then he comes back the following day and that's why his shirt is different.

Blue on Blue - S1-E5

Other mistake: Considering Angie just ran home barefoot, the bottoms of her feet are incredibly clean as she runs up the stairs of her house.

The Endless Thirst - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Angie runs out of her house in bare feet, she is wearing flesh colored ballet slippers when running through the woods to escape Jr., and is barefoot again when she runs into the diner.

Imperfect Circles - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When saving Julia from the gas-jackers, Barbie shoots one of the assailants in the leg, but when we see the same man later on in the episode, there is no evidence that he was shot.

Let the Games Begin - S1-E10

Other mistake: When big Jim is riding in the boat, the registration numbers are prefixed with NC - North Carolina, where the show is filmed. But it's supposed to be in Maine.

Curtains - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Near the start, the camera pans out to see the dome now covered in a layer of black. Outside of the dome you can see nice green fields, a small forest area, little houses and everything looks rosy. However a few episodes back the military launched a MOAB (mother of all bombs) and and the surrounding area was wiped out completely. (00:05:50)

Suggested correction: The entire left side of the dome is where the bomb blew up. Now if you watch back when the bomb hit the dome, picture the lake being to the north on the map. When Joe and Norrie were looking for Ange, and they were on the bench when the bomb hit, SW in the scene is a pretty close point to when they show the aerial shots of the dome.
