The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 1 - S3-E3

Character mistake: When Sanders is finishing the translation, the last sentence that he writes down is "Over the mountains and beyond the sea", but the sentence shown on the paper is "les mois et les monts"; this is French for "The months and the mountains." The real translation for "Over the mountains and beyond the sea" is "Sur les montagnes et au-delà de la mer." Even if the translation is carrying on from the previous line, a majority of the final sentence would still be incorrect in the translation. (00:02:25)

Factual error: When Tintin and Haddock are watching the two clowns performing on stage, the clown of the left is shown stepping in a spilt puddle of water on the stage, but the water is never affected, even when he steps in it. The water just remains completely still and no water is ever shown dripping off the clown's shoe. (00:04:40)

The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 1 - S3-E3

Plot hole: Two clown performers finish their act and the curtain closes. Tintin and Haddock then talk for a bit about who will be performing before the musician, but within the span of merely just a few seconds, the next act is suddenly on stage and ready to perform. No way could the clowns have left the stage and the next act have been set up within that short of a time span. (00:04:45)
