* In "Stand By Ben," Ben leaps in on July 10, 1996, and eventually leaps back out on July 12, spending two nights in the leap, with Addison [[MeanwhileInTheFuture back in the future]] remaining with him in real time via the Imaging Chamber. While it's late afternoon on the 10th from Ben's POV, the Project's lockdown protocol is triggered, causing Magic and Jenn to get stuck in the project's elevator. Addison doesn't leave the Imaging Chamber to go rescue Magic and Jenn until it's the evening of the 11th from Ben's POV. If the events at the Project are happening at the same 1:1 pace as those of the leap, poor Magic and Jenn had to have been stuck in that elevator for more than 24 hours.

* Also in "Ben, Interrupted," Martinez grabs a scalpel and is fully prepared to murder an innocent nurse in order to fulfill the leap's mission, but is interrupted by Addison at the last second. If Martinez is also leaping around via slingshot, how many of his own leaps has he completed because he's murdered someone innocent?

* In "Ben, Interrupted", Ian explains that the original Project misfiled a report about the Evil Leapers. As there's no indication that Lothos was ever shut down, the fact that there is a rogue malicious leaping organization still out there somewhere -- and one forgotten by the United States government, to boot -- is extremely worrying.

* In "Judgment Day," Martinez leaps into Magic in 2018. Did Magic feel the "nudge" again, assume it was Sam returning, and allow Martinez to leap in? Further, given what he knows about Sam Beckett, does this make past versions of Magic vulnerable?

* The accelerator can't maintain Ben's leap to the future for very long, and tries repeatedly to pull him back to the past and into his next leap. It makes sense because of the way leaping works; you can't SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong in your relative future because ''it hasn't happened yet'', and could be changed by either leaping around in the past, or by making changes in your present. So there's effectively no mission, and Ben's leaping parameters are automatically met.
