eps3.6_fredrick+tanya.chk - S3-E7

Other mistake: Angela keeps watching by rewinding the same scenes of the news of the data storage facilities collapsing from the explosions which targeted 71 facilities. The explosions look controlled like the demo of the old Las Vegas hotels and casinos. Data storage facilities are concrete/metal buildings with very few windows. The building she's watching collapse appears to be an apartment building with hundreds of large apartment style windows. (00:25:00 - 00:27:00)

El doble - S1-E5

He fires 1 round at the mayor and two inside Elena's home which makes three. He never reloads. (00:32:50 - 00:34:40)

FBI (2018)

FBI picture

Undisclosed - S2-E7

Other mistake: Toward the end of the episode the perpetrator is corned by the FBI. He steps backwards from the curb and is killed instantly by a garage truck moving at a high rate of speed. In the following scene the garbage truck is shown just a few steps beyond the scene just behind a parked car. The truck was going very fast when it killed the perp and could not have stopped so quickly. Further it would not have been going that fast in a curb lane with a parked vehicle right ahead of it.

Show generally

Other mistake: When Nadine met Knippinberg for the first time and narrates the incidents, he asks where Alain (Sobraj) is now. She says they have not arrived back yet. While it seems that Dominique has long been gone, but Nadine receives letter from Dominique the same day Sobraj returns. This was also the same day when Dominique was leaving the airport, and he saw Sobraj in the same airport.

Suggested correction: When Dominique was leaving the airport, he thought he saw Sobhraj but that man was not Sobhraj. In fact, this man was holding his child at the arrival gate. Sobhraj, Monique and Ajay did not return the same day Dominique left Bangkok.

Rabbit Hole picture

Show generally

Other mistake: Agent Maddy is approaching the scene of a downtown explosion and fire. She has her FBI badge showing on her belt. As she approaches the police line she rummages in her jacket and looks down at where the badge is, but reaches into the adjacent pocket to pull out another badge in a wallet. Why not identify herself with the badge on her belt?

Episode #1.15 - S1-E15

Other mistake: Laura is in the security control room of the plant, and finds a Master Lock Console screen; she sees it has Biometric Scan access and comments to Rich "It's not a retina scanner. It works on biometrics." She then brings up a photo ID of an employee on the monitor, lifts up the scanner and places it against the monitor, to get access. Firstly, retinal scans ARE biometric. She should have said "It's not an iris scanner," which requires a physical eyeball to scan. Secondly, no monitor from the 2005 period would be high-resolution enough to fool a biometric scanner.

The Return of Hydro-Man: Part 1 - S5-E7

Other mistake: When Spider-Man catches up to Mary Jane and Hydro-Man at the foundry, he webs up Hydro-Man's left wrist. When the shot changes to Spider-Man landing, he is not holding onto the web-line. When the shot changes back to Hydro-Man, his arm his pulled with the web-line remaining taut, even though Spider-Man is not holding the web. If Hydro-Man was moving his arm on his own, then the web-line would be slack.
