Eureka

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Sheriff Carter has only one Jeep Cherokee for his staff. It constantly changes from a 1989 to a 1990 model throughout the series. This can be caught easily by looking at the triangular window near the hinge on the front doors. Jeep removed the tilting hinges on the window after the 1989 year was discontinued. This happens throughout season one and two.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Cobb loses his leg, Allison looks down and we see his leg back from the edge of the hole. The camera moves and we see his leg right next to the hole.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Zoe are walking into town, the camera is behind them and there are people walking on the sidewalk towards them. The shot changes to alongside them, then when it cuts back the people have vanished.

Suggested correction: The episodes in the first season were aired out of order. The previous episode that showed the traffic light was produced after "Blink."

The light is in every episode including the first one.

Then I would suggest trying to submit a screen shot because I never saw the traffic light on Main and Archimedes in the first episode.

Primal - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Series 1, Episode 9: Primal. As Carter and Taggart are crawling through the access tunnel, the torch attached to the side of Taggart's goggles is pointing downwards, below his line of vision as established by the lenses on the front. As the shot changes to a close-up on Taggart, the torch is now pointing forwards, aligned with the lenses. (00:13:50)

Phoenix Rising - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Taggart shoots the pile of skin grafts, it explodes, covering him, Jack, and Jo in guts. There's nothing on Tag's shoulder at first, but after a couple of shots, there is now a slab of skin on his right shoulder.

Maneater - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When the toilet at the Sheriff's Office explodes, it slides out into the main office, with no smoke coming from it. Two shots later, it is now emanating smoke.

Phased and Confused - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Captain Eureka puts out the fire at the pumping station, Jack's Jeep somehow gets on fire, but we are able to see where the fire went, and it didn't come anywhere near the road or the Jeep.

This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18

Plot hole: When Dr. Hughes is racing to save Allison when he thinks he is Carter from the events that happened in "I'll Be Seeing You" Henry says he is racing for a cliff, and that the cabin was just a hologram. But in the episode the Cliff was the hologram disguising the cabin. Henry even commented in that episode that he did not remember a cliff being there.

Show generally

Question: I've been re-watching this show, and have noticed this in nearly every episode. In scenes inside GD, there's always one person, a background extra, who seems to have clear plastic wrap over their clothes. Do you know what that is all about?

Holly Halfman

Chosen answer: It's basically just a type of suit that's made for whatever special project they're working on. No different than a lab coat, hazmat suit, fire coat, etc.
