Dallas picture

Season 9 generally

Corrected entry: The entire ninth season of "Dallas" was subsequently revealed to be a dream that Pam Ewing had. This opens up a vast can of worms. One glaring problem was that Katherine Wentworth had been actively scheming against Pam and Bobby throughout the eighth season; it was she who supposedly killed Bobby at the end of that season, hitting him with her car (though aiming for Pam) in a crash that killed her as well. But that happened in the dream. When Pam woke up, it was supposed to be the next morning, immediately following the events in the last episode of the eighth season before she went to sleep. Why, then, is Katherine Wentworth no longer anywhere to be found?

Correction: Katherine Wentworth does in fact show up once again in Season 11 to visit Pamela Ewing after her fatal car crash. When Bobby finds out that the somewhat insane Katherine has been visiting Pam's hospital room, he warns her not to come back and hires security for outside of her room.

Pressure Point - S2-E5

Corrected entry: Whomever designed the base's defenses was an idiot. The electrified matting outside extends for a distance exactly equal to the distance a man can run in the 8 seconds it takes to self-repair; any sensible defense designer would have extended it to a greater distance than it was possible for anyone shooting it to run in that time. Inside the base, we see the ceilings of many passageways (well, actually the same section of passage over and over with different lighting), and the only passage with overhead pipes/monkey bars is the one with the electrified floor. Very convenient.

Correction: The base's weak defenses are precisely the point: to draw in resistors for capture.

The Incredible Hulk - S1-E1

Corrected entry: In the pilot episode, Dr. Banner is locked in a chamber with Dr. Elaina Marks monitoring him. She asks him if he wants something to drink. He says yes. She says "Apple juice okay?" Dr. Banner replies, "That'd be great." Dr. Marks immediately pulls a bottle of orange juice out of the grocery bag. She then goes to hand it to Dr. Banner, and again, it's noticeable that it is orange juice, not apple juice.

Correction: The bottle of juice she is holding is cloudy apple juice, which can vary in colour from very light to very dark.

Watch the episode, then correct. It's a bit obvious.

Grange Hill picture

Episode #3.1 - S3-E1

Corrected entry: Third years Doyle and Robo are play fighting in the corridor - they bump into new first year Michael Green on his first day. Michael says "watch it Doyle." How does he know Doyle's name when it's his first day?

Correction: While it was Michael Green's first day, it certainly wasn't his brother's first day. It would be very easy for Benny Green to tell his younger brother all about Doyle (either on the first day of school or anytime in the previous years).
