The Flash

Going Rogue - S1-E4

Deliberate mistake: When Capt. Cold is about to shoot Joe in the train station, Eddy "shoots" a pillar next to him to make him run. Eddy then comes from behind the pillar that got shot with no cuts. He would have had to been on the complete opposite side to shoot the pillar where it was hit. (00:32:50)

Suggested correction: I watched the scene several times and nothing indicates the pillar was shot from the left side. It looks like the pillar was shot from behind (which is why there's no hole on the side or front), exactly where Eddie would have been standing.

Run, Iris, Run - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Joe and Iris are going to talk to Matthew Kim, Iris is already wearing the suit that Cisco later makes for her, she just wears it open the first time and closed the second time. (00:13:41 - 00:29:50)

Suggested correction: She is wearing the jacket when speaking with Matthew Kim because it is her jacket. When Cisco has her new outfit in the suit bag, he said something to the effect of "I had to make do," meaning that it was short notice and he could not make her a suit like he did for other speedsters. She is essentially wearing regular clothes with a mask, and her jacket was part of that outfit. Quite frankly, all the clothes could have been hers, but we know the jacket is.

Not only that, but in the scene before, we see the jacket hanging over her chair. So just something she wore that day.

Attack on Central City - S3-E14

Factual error: Wells states that there are "precisely 90,000" possible 5-digit combinations for the keypad (to abort the nuclear code). However, there are actually 100,000 possible combinations (10^5).

Barry Allen: My name is Barry Allen and I'm the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me, and one day I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash.

Attack on Gorilla City - S3-E13

Trivia: Before Barry and the others travel to gorilla city, Julian says something about Bludhaven. This is the city of Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, former partner of Batman as the first Robin.

Season 1 generally

Question: Why did Eobard believe that pretending to be crippled would divert any suspicion away from him? He could simply walk around even after the accelerator exploded and people could just say that he was lucky that he didn't get injured, mutilated or even killed.
