Guadalcanal/Leckie - S1-E1

Factual error: On the map behind the colonel during the first scene, Iceland is labelled as being under Nazi control. This is incorrect, as the British were in control of the country during the whole of the war. (00:05:10)

Suggested correction: No, I don't think this is an error. I think the house with the red door is Luther and Zoe's marital home and the house with the black door is Mark's home.

That's what I thought, but how did he know where Mark lived?

I think it's a mistake because Riply is outside keeping watch on Zoe's house. At that point, Luther didn't know who Mark was, so how could he know where he lives?

Good Luck Charlie picture

Show generally

Plot hole: In the episode where Gabe wants PJ and Teddy to pretend to be his parents when his teacher wants to see them after getting in trouble at school, it is established that Gabe's elderly teacher is short-sighted. When he asks "How many fingers am I holding up" his teacher gives an incorrect answer. However, later in the episode, his teacher spots Teddy on a date at the cinema (movie theatre) and assumes she's cheating/having an affair. How could she have seen Teddy from a row in-front, when Teddy is facing the audience and not the teacher, if she couldn't see how many fingers Gabe was holding up close to her face?

A shot later the bottle of ash is back on the table, but Stiles never put it down. Then the shot after they show it on the table, it's back in Stiles' hand and he sets it back down.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the second episode Sabrina says the grocery store got bought and it was called "Howdy's" now or something like that (the uniform used to be red and then it was blue with those neck ties). In the episode where Burt, Jimmy and Virginia get kicked out, they visit the grocery store to steal food and they're wearing the blue uniform (as Howdy's grocery store) but it was way before Jimmy had Hope, and Hope was with him when the outfits were red.
