Continuity mistake: At The End of the episode, when Lyle is transforming in the bathroom, we see his hand perfectly shred a shower curtain, however in the next shot we see his hands and they are still fully human. There's no way he could have done that. (00:38:44)

The X-Files (1993)
Stupidity: Scully is a trained professional and ultimately has authority (and a degree of responsibility) over everyone at the research base. The idea that she would disarm herself just to make someone feel better by throwing out the pistol magazines is ridiculous and negligent especially given that there have been numerous deaths/murders at the base already.

Soft Light - S2-E23
Plot hole: If the shadow acts like a black hole and tears apart all atoms that enter it why does it only seem to affect people (but also their clothing and anything else on them)? Surely Dr Banton would be destroying everything around him.

Other mistake: At The Beginning when Mulder and Scully leave the room and walk across the FBI office you can see and hear the camera get knocked to the left by something (it was probably the filing cabinet that they walk past a second later). (00:05:19)
