Dead Like Me (2003) - 25 mistakes in series 1

Plot hole: People who do not have their souls retrieved, before they are killed, will suffer the effects of the death on their soul, eg. the autopsied man has scars and cuts on his soul. So how come the woman who was crushed by a piano (whose soul was only ever retrieved afterwards) is unharmed in soul form?

Continuity: After George dodges the toad on the floor, she walks backwards up onto some steps, yet she walks up the same step twice.

Continuity: In the scene where Rube shakes hands with the animal protesters, he is not wearing the trash bag while shaking their hands. He is wearing the trash bag immediately before and after.

Continuity: When Mason and George are about to go into the house of the murdered accountant they show the lock from the inside of the apartment and it's unlocked. When they show it again it's locked and then Mason unlocks it.

Continuity: When George delivers the files to some guy, while at her job, her hair keeps on changing position over her shoulder.

Continuity: When George is filing, she is told it is her lunch hour. Between shots her hair flips over her shoulder.

Continuity: When Rube and George are speaking to George at the site of her death, Betty's scarf continuously changes postions.

Other: In the copy room, George, after she speaks with Daisy in voice over, says "its 3am", but the clock on the wall behind Crystal shows 12:35 when George talks to Crystal.

Visible crew/equipment: During George's funeral, the camera swings around to follow the employee from Happy Time (the guy who George gives files, minus the red ones, to) and as he crosses the room to the other side, you see a crew member holding a boom mic, who looks over a little startled and moves back out of view.

Continuity: George drops the red file from her stack of files to deliver, yet in the next shot you can still see the red file in the stack.

Continuity: When George is flicking through files in a drawer, they change positions between shots, when the man tells her its her lunch hour.

Factual error: Towards the end of the episode, Mason reads a report on Daisy's death indicating she died 13 December 1938 in Marietta Georgia of smoke inhalation. It apparently was common knowledge that Daisy died on the set of Gone With The Wind (supported in the Halloween episode by someone who knew her when she was alive). The filming of the big fire scene in GWTW was 10 December 1938 so the dates are pretty close. But these early parts of the production of GWTW (and I believe the rest of the movie as well) were filmed in Culver City, CA, not Marietta.

Plot hole: When George gets into the lift at her office, her reflection is very obvious on the sliding doors, but we were told back in the pilot that Reapers have a different visage to the outside world that shows up in reflections, on camera etc.

Revealing: When Mason and George walk up to the TV's in the store, the TV images do not match Mason and George's movements, as it records them.

Continuity: When George is sitting on the train, watching the little girl she is supposed to reap, the position of the ticket on the seat beside her changes.

Continuity: When George writes "moist" on the fridge, to give her mum a sign, the position of the 'T' magnet changes between shots.

Revealing: Reapers look 'different' in reflections and recordings, yet sometimes you can catch them with 'normal' reflections, eg. Rube in the diner window.

Continuity: When the first Reaper who touched George magically disappears, people in the background appear out of nowhere and disappear out of nowhere.

Continuity: When the reapers are inputting the data, they are only typing in the final thought. However, in every shot of the spreadsheets, there are entries for final thought, name, date, and location.

Audio problem: Each time George mentions Millie's older brother Luke, the movements of her mouth don't match what's being said. It appears that the name was changed and then dubbed afterwards.
