Tru Calling

Past Tense - S1-E4

Corrected entry: Tara the stripper steals the wallets of all five guys who originally died (and possibly of the survivor as well). However, it makes little sense for everyone's wallets to be in the suite's other room, evidently in their jackets. Most men carry their wallets in their pants pockets, especially in the presence of a stripper they'd likely want quick access to their cash. So they wouldn't leave them in their jackets in another room.

Correction: But this was a private stripper, so she gets paid with a check, they weren't expected to shove ones down her panties. Moving their wallets to their jackets makes perfect sense since, when receiving a lap dance, you would want nothing in your pockets to get in the way.

Reunion - S1-E10

Corrected entry: Early in the episode, Tru says that one benefit of reliving days is that it can help her avoid wearing bad outfits. How, exactly? If she put it on in the first place, then she must have thought it looked good. Unless she expects someone to tell her anytime an outfit of hers is unattractive, reliving the day won't help.

Correction: Sometimes a woman puts an outfit on thinking it looks good. However, when they go out in public and by chance walk in front of a mirror or reflective window or even just looking down at yourself, you can start to not like the outfit anymore and wish you could change. (Personal experience here).

Putting Out Fires - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When Tru has lunch with Harrison the second time she goes through the day, she tells him that it will rain at three. This is information she presumably has from the first iteration of the day. Three o'clock passes without comment, and without rain.

DavidK93

Correction: We don't actually see three o'clock on either day. A short summer rain would leave no evidence after an hour or so, and wouldn't be worth discussing, especially with a building burning down at five o'clock.

Putting Out Fires - S1-E2

Corrected entry: The first time Tru goes through the day, there is a scene with her and Meredith unpacking glassware. The scene serves only to provide exposition about Tru's mother. But why are they unpacking glassware in a house that appears to be newly moved into? We haven't been told about anybody moving into a new house, and there's no reference to moving or the glassware before or after. It doesn't fit in properly at all.

DavidK93

Correction: Somebody moved, or bought new glassware, and we don't know who. This doesn't really seem like a mistake, just leaving out information that isn't really that important to the story.

Haunted - S1-E5

Corrected entry: The first time the day happened, Paige's time of death is given as 4:31pm. If that's when she died, then Tru should have known right away that the death experiment wasn't what originally killed her, since Tru saved her from that around 2:30pm.

DavidK93

Correction: Tru may have thought that her intervention caused her to run the experiment early because she was upset. When You relive a day, you are likely to disrupt the timing of events.

Morning After - S1-E7

Corrected entry: After Tru discovers Mark's corpse and goes back to the previous morning, she considers herself to be the prime suspect in the murder. But there is never any explanation of how she thinks she could possibly have done it without remembering.

DavidK93

Correction: She was a little drunk and couldn't remember everything.

Show generally

Plot hole: Throughout the series, auxiliary characters are always far too willing to give all kinds of information to Tru. Doctors and registrars constantly give her privileged information about patients and students. Tru is often able to retrieve information like addresses and phone numbers from people's service and utility companies, when normally you must verify your own information before they will even talk to you about your account. Of course there can't be an episode if Tru doesn't quickly find the person who asked for her help, even though she doesn't usually know much more than their name, but it's still a bit conspicuous.

More quotes from Tru Calling

Past Tense - S1-E4

Question: What time does Tru work her shift at the morgue? In this episode, she was at work when Marco scared her from under the sheet. Then she was eating dinner with Harrison. What time did they eat? Wasn't it already late at night by then? Then she was back at work - I guess a dinner break makes sense for a nighttime shift - and she met Luc. The second time the day happened, she was at work when Marco tried to scare her. Then she was walking somewhere with Harrison and she hadn't met Luc. Was this after the same dinner she had with Harrison the first time? Was she still going to meet Luc later?

DavidK93

Chosen answer: The next episode shows that Tru didn't meet Luc after all, even though she should have been in work by the time he showed up. I think the answer is that the writers don't actually know.
