Peace on Us - S7-E2
Corrected entry: During the "red party", Col. Potter can be seen holding a glass containing tomato juice or a mixture thereof. From the episode "The Price of Tomato Juice," we know Potter is allergic to it. Having so recently been reminded of the fact, why would he drink more? (00:42:30)
24th Jul 2012
Corrected entry: Even though the film is titled "Jurassic Park", the only dinosaur depicted from the "Jurassic" period was the Brachiosaurus. The T-Rex, Triceratops, Velociraptor, ect were all actually from the "Cretaceous" period which was later. This occurred throughout the whole trilogy.
Correction: So what? Maybe it just sounds better.

The Wiggly Finger Catalyst - S5-E4
Corrected entry: In this episode, everyone is surprised to learn that Raj's family is enormously rich, but in episode 15 of season 4 Raj states that his family is wealthy and has lots of servants.
Correction: They knew Raj's father was a well-off doctor, so someone we might call upper class. This episode they found out he was extremely rich, more along the lines of the richest men in the country.

The Luminous Fish Effect - S1-E4
Corrected entry: When Penny and Sheldon are driving to the supermarket, Sheldon is explaining the weight of the car and how it affects her braking time. He estimates the car's weight to be 4000 pounds, 140 for himself and 120 for Penny, and then rounds the total up to be 4400 pounds, when it actually should be 4260. It's extremely out of character for somebody like Sheldon to make such a basic addition mistake.
Correction: Or he could be including other things he just failed to mention, such as the contents of the vehicle and trunk.

The Karate Kid Returns - S6-E14
Corrected entry: The episode's plot hinges on Randy retaliating against a fellow student for refusing to write a retraction concerning a defamatory article he wrote about him for the school newspaper, after which Randy writes an article explaining the error of his vengeful ways. Both aforementioned articles are full of biased commentary, with the former also being an example of yellow journalism. The first rule of journalism outside of gossip publications such as TMZ is to never publish biased or defamatory articles, and as such the editor of the school newspaper wouldn't run either article, nor would the school administration tolerate them being printed.
Correction: You think that a high school newspaper follows the exact same standards of the New York Times? These are just teenagers writing for a high school paper. There is plenty possibility for high school politics and teenage cattiness to play a part. As well, both students could simply be writing commentary pages as opposed to news articles. Commentary writers are not bound by the ethics against biased writing - that's what they are there for.
19th Apr 2012
Corrected entry: When the magic gum is pressed out from the machine, it's orange but when Violet takes it, it's blueish.
Correction: The gum is two colors - an yellowish-orange and a dark bluish-orange.
22nd Mar 2012
Corrected entry: Early in the movie when the parents are digging up the enemy robots, the arms that are sticking out of the ground don't belong to either of the two bug bots that are used in the later fight.
Correction: So Ooze had three robots and one of them didn't work after so many years buried.
There is no evidence anywhere in the film that there is a third, inoperable robot. Ooze even says, "the other one must be close" indicating there are only two.
Correction: Actually, the "arm" you refer to is part of the back leg and foot of the scorpion zord.
24th Mar 2012
Corrected entry: When Vinny calls and questions George Wilbur (his second time on the stand) Vinny noticed Sheriff Farley as he came back into the court. The Sheriff nods at Vinny, and Vinny excuses George Wilbur. Jim Trotter III would have had a chance to ask Mr. Wilbur questions before he would have been dismissed.
Correction: Only if he asked for it. Seeing how his case has completely collapsed, he wouldn't even bother.
23rd Mar 2012
Corrected entry: When the alarm sounds that a iceberg is ahead and the officer orders a hard turn to avoid the iceberg, the crew steers hard to the left. However when he reverses the screw [propeller] the underwater footage shows the right screw coming to a stop and then reversing. This would make the ship try to steer to the right by the right screw pushing water forward. thus cancelling out or limiting the effect of the rudder steering left. The left screw would need to be reversed to aid this left turn.
Correction: Except this is what the crew actually did. The Titanic was poorly designed in this manner, where reversing caused much slower turning.
13th Oct 2011
Corrected entry: Castor Troy has the surgeon and other two witnesses killed in a fire to prevent anyone from knowing the identity between him and Archer had been switched. However, when the surgeon performed the operation, he had several assistants helping him, none of whom were killed in the fire. Which means other people knew about this.
Correction: Just because we don't see them killed on screen, doesn't mean they weren't killed. Troy could easily have murdered them at their homes or killed them in another room at the medical center.
3rd Sep 2011
Corrected entry: In this episode there is a region of space with no stars and it is completely dark. While there could be a region with no stars you would still see stars in the distance. When they finally reach the end of the 'void' slowly stars pop into view. If they just stayed stationary these stars would come into view on their own. Light had been traveling from each star from the time of its creation. The galaxy is not so old that light has not reach certain sections yet.
Correction: They say in the episode that a type of radiation is blocking their sensors and visual range, so they can't see beyond the star-less region.
27th Aug 2011
Corrected entry: Voyager is often having to dim the lights are figure out ways to save energy by shutting down life support in various sections of the ship. Yet, they have energy for beaming up and down, and holodeck activities, and use of the replicators on a limiting basis. I don't feel like doing the math but the energy required to replicate a cup of coffee is certainly enough to light the ship for a long time.
Correction: Dimming the lights is a method used to conserve energy that doesn't have a great effect on the daily life on Voyager. Turning off replicators or shutting down the holodecks would significantly affect the quality of life for the crew. And turning off the transporters would cause many more difficulties.
27th Aug 2011
Corrected entry: In the opening credits, Voyager is seen skimming along above the "surface" of the planetary rings of what appears to be a large planet. However, given the size of the reflection of the ship in the rings below, Voyager can be at most a few hundred meters above the reflective surface. That, coupled with the extreme curvature of the rings, and Voyager's path across them, would make the planet the smallest in the universe, perhaps a few thousand meters across. No moon or asteroid of that size would have enough gravity to capture and retain rings of rocky debris, much less possess an atmosphere that would be thick enough to see or have clouds.
Correction: Voyager has come across planets with vastly different makeups than anything even Starfleet had ever come across before. (Remember the planet with the tachyon core?) Perhaps this one has something similarly strange going on.
22nd Jun 2011
Corrected entry: When Leeloo enters the Fhloston Paradise, we get a good shot of the view the oval windows have to offer. But isn't that where the Opera is supposed to be? That room is pretty high, and when Ruby and Korben enter the Opera, they first have to ascend a stair to get there. This is also visible when Korben leaves the Opera. (01:22:25 - 01:26:00)
Correction: The atrium where Leeloo is greeted is connected to the docks. The opera hall is connected to the hotel, a different room altogether.
17th Jun 2011
Corrected entry: At approximately one hour into the film, Gandhi is shown wearing wire rimmed glasses with round lenses. At approximately the two hour point, the lenses now have a bi-focal segment that is a half circle in the lower section of the round lens. The addition of bi-focal lenses is consistent with the aging process, since the eyes can no longer focus on nearby objects. With bi-focal lenses, the lower portion of the lens is used for reading and the upper portion of the lens is used for distance. However, in subsequent scenes, Gandhi's glasses sometimes have the bi-focal lenses and sometimes they do not. His glasses alternate between bi-focal and regular lenses approximately seven times throughout the rest of the film. At the end, he is wearing black rimmed glasses without bi-focal lenses.
Correction: My mother has two pairs of glasses - one bifocal, one regular. It is possible to have two sets and use them for different times.
22nd May 2011
Corrected entry: There are some serious inaccuracies concerning the presence of the alien craft. The mother ship, with a mass one quarter that of the moon, passes very close to the moon and then settles in orbit around the earth. The gravitational pull from such a large object would cause a substantial disruption of the moon's surface and its orbit, and then of the earth's surface. These effects are not even mentioned. When the mother ship explodes in earth orbit the effect of such a large nuclear explosion so close to the earth would be so destructive that it does not even bear thinking, not to mention the billions of tons of debris it would leave behind, much of which would be pulled down to the earth's surface. Again, nobody seems too worried about this even though such an event would probably destroy all life on earth anyway.
Correction: The key words are that the effects aren't mentioned. They may have discussed them at some point, but they were probably more concerned by the first contact with a massive alien spaceship. As for the debris, I guess they figured that a chance at survival (with killing the aliens) was better than no chance (with the aliens exterminating human life).
22nd May 2011
Corrected entry: When Captain Needa is killed by Darth Vader after he loses track of the Millennium Falcon, he dies with his hand clutching his throat. But when two Imperial Guards go to pick up the dead body, Captain Needa's hand has moved from his throat to his side.
Correction: As Needa falls, his right hand drifts from his neck to his chest. It is picked up there by the deck crew.
1st Mar 2011
Corrected entry: When Margaret and Frank look over Tuttle's file, Margaret reads aloud the words "Berlinishes Polytechnikum". The correct German wording would be "Berliner Polytechnikum". While this could be ascribed to a mistake of Hawkeye or Trapper, no indication of that being the case is given in the show.
Correction: It is indicated. That is what Hawkeye says as he writes it down. He doesn't know German well.
6th Sep 2006
Corrected entry: When Nancy is walking on water after invoking the spirit, look closely - there are 2 shadows being cast on the water when she is really close to the shore, which would only happen when there are prop lights, not sunlight as we are made to believe.
Correction: It isn't two shadows. It's her shadow to the side and her reflection in front.
24th Apr 2004
Corrected entry: When the Morris Brown band is playing in the stands during one of their games, the first shot shows the band director wearing a purple suit to match the band uniforms. In the next shot, his suit is blue.
Correction: He is wearing a slightly iridescent suit which changes color depending on the angle of the camera and sunlight. It can be seen during the closeup as Dr. Lee looks at him through binoculars.

Correction: Just because it's red doesn't mean it's tomato juice. It could be anything, especially given it's a "red party".
LorgSkyegon
Agreed. It would be something highly alcoholic, not tomato juice. Unless it was a Bloody Mary, which really isn't a military drink.
