 **Explanation:** At the beginning of [[Good News About Hell]], as [[Mark Scout|Mark]] is about to leave his car to go to work, he glances at his watch, which shows the date as ''4''.((Season 1, Episode 1, [[Good News About Hell]] (6:00) )) On the same day, as he is leaving work, his watch shows the date as ''5'',((Season 1, Episode 1, [[Good News About Hell]] (33:57) )) implying that a full day has passed. This is most probably not the case, as spending thirty-two consecutive hours at the office is likely to raise some questions. In a later episode, Mark’s watch shows the date as ''4'' again, further supporting the idea that these are inconsistencies. **Explanation:** At the beginning of [[Good News About Hell]], as [[Mark Scout|Mark]] is about to leave his car to go to work, he glances at his watch, which shows the date as ''4''.((Season 1, Episode 1, [[Good News About Hell]] (6:00) )) On the same day, as he is leaving work, his watch shows the date as ''5'',((Season 1, Episode 1, [[Good News About Hell]] (33:57) )) implying that a full day has passed.

 It is possible that this was done on purpose to illustrate a severed person’s damaged perception of time. However, comparing the time Mark leaves his car after glancing at his watch to when he arrives at the [[Severed Floor]] shows that only four minutes have passed, lending credence to the idea that this may have been a continuity error. It is possible that this was done on purpose to illustrate a severed person’s damaged perception of time.

 **Explanation:** The show introduces [[Judd]] in the very first episode, a security guard who sits outside the elevator to the Severed Floor, with a retro-styled flip clock right above his desk. The same composition of his desk is shown twice during the episode, the first time when Mark is heading in((Season 1, Episode 1, [[Good News About Hell]] (8:33) )) and another when he is leaving.((Season 1, Episode 1, [[Good News About Hell]] (33:55) )) In the second instance where the clock is showing ''05:25'', it appears to be slightly tilted upward on its right side. **Explanation:** The show introduces [[Judd]] in the very first episode, a security guard who sits outside the elevator to the Severed Floor, with a retro-styled flip clock right above his desk.

 +**Explanation:** The Severed Floor lobby has four leather armchairs, placed on carpet with rectangles of varying shades of green. In at least two instances, including a behind-the-scene photo, the armchairs appear to be lined up on the edge of the second rectangle. However, the placement isn’t consistent throughout the first season.

In the frame shown above, the metal hanging pocket on the wall—in which the [[Senior Refiner Morning Checklist]] and general announcements are placed—appears empty. However, as the scene progresses, the checklist looks to be in its proper spot, marking a minor break in the continuity. This also reaffirms the notion that the morning checklist is a routine procedure.

 **Explanation:** This excerpt from //[[The You You Are]]//’s ninth chapter, titled “The Quitting Bell,”((Season 1, Episode 4, [[The You You Are]] (41:04) )) uses question marks in incorrect ways. In the second paragraph, the following sentence does not require a question mark at the end: <wrap hi>Imagine, for instance, if our tragic concessions worker awoke one day, and instead of coming in for his shift, simply said “No**?**”</wrap> Since this is an indirect question, it should end with a period.((//The Chicago Manual of Style//, 17th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017), 6.69.)) In the next sentence, a question mark is well needed; however, the placement of it is incorrect. As per American style guides, such as //The Associated Press Stylebook// or //The Chicago Manual of Style//, the question mark and exclamation point go within the quotation marks only when they apply to the quoted matter. They are placed outside when they apply to the whole sentence. The sentence should read, <wrap hi>What if, when someone asked him for Lalabees, his answer was a firm and confident “**no**”**?**</wrap> **Explanation:** This excerpt from //[[The You You Are]]//’s ninth chapter, titled “The Quitting Bell,”((Season 1, Episode 4, [[The You You Are]] (41:04) )) uses question marks in incorrect ways.

 +==== Petey’s hair in flashback scenes ====
 +
 +{{ petey_s_hair.gif |Petey’s different hairstyle in flashback scenes}}
 +
 +**Explanation:** While in Mark’s basement, Petey finds himself having flashbacks to a time at Lumon.((Season 1, Episode 3, [[In Perpetuity]] (17:27) )) As the experience progresses, his environment keeps changing between Macrodata Refinement and the basement; however, Petey retains his outfit and continues to work behind his desk, indicating that the scenes are shown to be continuous. As the GIF above displays, Petey’s hairstyle and facial hair appear different in the two scenes.
 +
 +==== Same pattern of wetness across different days ====
 +
 +{{ wet_lumon_logo.gif |Same pattern of wetness across different days}}
 +
 +**Explanation:** The concrete Lumon logo sits beautifully on the front stairs of the company building. The first time it is shown up-close is when Mark is leaving work late one day,((Season 1, Episode 3, [[In Perpetuity]] (51:00) )) and it seems wet from the melted snow. The next time a close-up appears is in a later episode,((Season 1, Episode 6, [[Hide and Seek]] (36:21) )) a few days later, when workers are installing a locking door for Macrodata Refinement. By comparing the two, it is revealed that the pattern of wetness is the same in both instances, which are supposed to be days apart.
 +
 +This continuity error is likely due to the fact that cinematographers often shoot all of the scenes that take place at a certain location while they are at that location. Jessica Lee Gagné, the show’s Director of Photography, also confirms this in an interview.((Davidson, Denton (May 6, 2022). [[https://youtu.be/jADhZp0r9fU?t=1215|“Jessica Lee Gagné on Why ‘Any Cinematographer Would Be Afraid’ of ‘Severance.’”]] //Gold Derby//.)) Additionally, the Lumon logo appears to be a CGI overlay to the real location, and therefore so must be the wetness of the concrete.
