Circle Us - S5-E7

Character mistake: Searching for clues to identify a suspect, Masuka takes fingerprints from the interior of a truck. Back at the lab, he says he had two dozen prints and they all belong to the same person. Unless the prints are all of the same FINGER, there is no way he could know the prints were all from the same person without a suspect to compare them to. Masuka is a forensic expert and should know better. (00:15:40)

Everything Is Illuminated - S5-E6

Seven Thirty-Seven - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When season 1 left off, at the very end of the last episode, Tuco examines the blue meth seriously and says, "What is this shit? This is blue." At the start of season 2, the scene is repeated, only when Tuco sees the blue meth, he laughs and then says "What is this? It's blue." Even though its supposed to be the same scene, the dialogue is slightly different and Tuco's demeanor is completely different. (00:01:05)

Rabid Dog - S5-E12

Trivia: Among the books on Hank Schrader's bookshelf are the titles "Rainbow's End," "The Final Days," "The Money Harvest," "Big Secrets," "Mad Money," and "The Blue Nowhere." Those titles might be coincidental but ironically appropriate.

Teenage Wasteland - S5-E9

Factual error: When Dexter is punching Olivia's father in his left side, he says "That's your liver." Only the liver is on the right side. For a serial killer who routinely dismembers bodies, Dexter should know which side the liver is on. (00:42:50)

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the episode, right after he tells Jesse how he used the red phosphorus to kill the gunmen, Walt leans down to vomit. You can see his microphone transmitter under his shirt. (00:54:20)

Continuity mistake: In the animated sequence, just before the kids destroy Sister Assumpta's office, Skeleton Boy's cast remnants switches from left arm to right arm and back to left arm. The left arm is the correct side as Tim (who is Skeleton Boy) had his cast on his left arm. (01:20:00)

Continuity mistake: When Ira and Glenda are discussing Nick, who is hiding under the bed, Ira briefly stands on Nicks right-hand pinky finger. After Ira has walked away, under the bed Nick grimaces while holding his left-hand pinky finger.

Continuity mistake: When Jan races his Porsche to meet with the families for the first time, he speeds along a distinctive stretch of road towards Woburn. In the next scene, he is getting a speeding ticket while stopped on a bridge. After his meeting with the families, when he leaves racing away from Woburn, he speeds along the SAME stretch of road, only to be stopped again on the SAME bridge. The bridge should have been behind him as he reached that stretch of road leaving Woburn, not ahead of him. (00:09:10 - 00:11:30)
