Grumpy Scot

I am trying to remember the name of a TV show that was on in the mid 80's. It dealt with day-to-day life on a US Army post. It was set in the present day (present day for when it was on-the mid 80's), NOT Vietnam. I think the word "Honor" was part of the title, but I am not sure. Anyone?

Home - S1-E9

Plot hole: General Hammond is promoted to 3-star general and command of the SGC is given to General O'Neill before the Atlantis gang even left earth. Why is it, that none of them find it the least bit odd that a 2-star Hammond greeted their return instead of O'Neill?

Trivia: Doc tells Clara several times that Jules Verne is his favorite author. There is a serrated rail on the cow catcher of his locomotive time machine that is nearly identical to the rail on the front of the Nautilus in Disney's adaptation of Jules Verne's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Letters from Pegasus - S1-E17

Plot hole: After Zelenka is finished with his description of how Atlantis rose from the ocean, Ford asks him if he said anything that would require security clearance to see. But if he is worried about security, why did he film Zelenka sitting in front of a top-secret Naquadah generator? This would be the equivalent of a soldier filming Enrico Fermi (speaking in Italian) in front of a nuclear bomb prototype then asking if he said anything secret.

Kobol's Last Gleaming (2) - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Season 1 Episode 13 "Kobol's Last Gleaming Pt 2" Apollo leads a strike force to capture Colonial One and arrest President Roslin. We see his vipers and raptors approaching Colonial One, all alone a little way from the fleet. A few scenes later, (before Apollo's force reaches it) Boomer launches in a raptor and as it leaves the bay, we see Colonial One in it's normal position off Galactica's port bow.

Colonial Day - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Helo has been on Cylon-occupied Caprica for 47 days. Why is his haircut exactly the same as when he was stranded?

Continuity mistake: Just after Bourne knocks out Conklin and walks toward the door, his pistol is a totally black Walther P5K. When the door opens in the next shot, it has changed to a black framed pistol with a silver slide.

Trivia: Much of Griff's outfit, particularly his boots are bits of Klingon costumes from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Trivia: The tagline is "Come out, come out wherever you are." This is (arguably) also De Niro's most famous line from Cape Fear.

Trivia: Edward James Olmos (Commander Adama) plays a man involved in a search for dangerous androids who are nearly impossible to distinguish from humans. He played a man in a very similar situation in Blade Runner as Gaff. Amusing coincidence.

Season 1 generally

Revealing mistake: Several times, close up shots of the Cylon Centurions show the shoulders and chest moving slightly as the actor inside breathes. Though originally conceived as a reptiloid species, this never made it to screen. Centurions are robots who don't breathe.

Revealing mistake: When Shaggy and Scooby fly off the cliff into the Mystery Machine you can see Daphne and Velma's hair hanging unnaturally towards the left, indicating that the set is on its side so Shaggy and Scooby look like they fly into the van. (00:55:45)

Covenant - S8-E8

Trivia: The logo of Alec Colson's company is a slightly altered Sci Fi Channel logo.

Grumpy Scot

Plot hole: All of Keslee's troops are spit and polish with nice uniforms, holsters and boots. But in the scene where Becca is pulled out of the pipe, one of them just happens to have a pistol in his belt for Keslee to grab and threaten Becca with. Very convenient.

Trivia: One of the taglines for this film is "Whoever wins...we lose." This is amusing as all the aliens and the predators in the temple are killed, leaving only one human survivor. I guess we won after all.

Grumpy Scot

Trivia: Colin Salmon starts to be cut into sections by the predator's net. Likely a nod to Resident Evil where his character meets a similar fate (lasers instead of a net) - both movies were directed by Paul W. S. Anderson.

Question: In many scenes, Monk will reach out and touch something with one finger. What is he doing? I thought at first he was straightening things, but he touches things that don't move too.

Factual error: When any character's automatic pistol runs out of bullets, the slide doesn't lock open. All the weapons shown are of a type which should.

Continuity mistake: When Burt is hiding in the bulldozer scoop, Grady looks down at him from the top of the oil tank and we see that Burt has his knife in his hand. However, in the next shot, we see him pull the knife out of its sheath on his leg.

Easter egg: Insert the second disc from the 2-disc set and then select 'Video and Stills Gallery' from the main menu. Once there, highlight the 'Raft Escape' menu entry and hit the Left arrow key on your remote. A winged symbol will appear on the screen. Press Enter now and in an audio clip director Robert Zemeckis will reveal to you the contents of the unopened FedEx package.
