Agents of SHIELD

Principia - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: The background scenery, with the lighthouse in it, moves from right to left when Shield Agent Mac and his old school friend talk to one of the relocated scientists. However, in the next shot, it runs from left to right, as if they are on a boat. In reality, it shouldn't be moving at all. (00:18:16)

The Honeymoon - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: Right after Yo-Yo runs into Ivanov in the hallway, Fitz fires his gun at the robots. His gun is empty after he fires it. But in the following shot, it's been reloaded again.

THGhost

Purpose in the Machine - S3-E2

Factual error: When examining the sand, Bobbi states "According to carbon dating..." Fitz finishes by saying "It's a billion years older than the earth." However, carbon dating is only good at determining the age of something to about 60,000 years old. The only thing carbon dating could tell about the sand is that it is 60,000 years old or older. It certainly couldn't determine that the sand was 5 billion years old.

Pilot - S1-E1

Maria Hill: What does S.H.I.E.L.D. Stand for, Agent Ward?
Grant Ward: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Maria Hill: And what does that mean to you?
Grant Ward: It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out "shield."

Chosen answer: Coulson believes he was resuscitated then sent to Tahiti to recuperate. "A magical place," he calls it. But in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "The Magical Place", Coulson, through a mind-reading machine, learns that he was treated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and a fake memory of Tahiti was placed as a "mask" of sorts over the painful memory of the operation, which involved a drug seemingly of alien origin to repair the damage, coupled with a lot of morally dubious surgery.
