Fleabag picture

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Underground picture

Show generally

Factual error: "Underground" is set in 1857 Georgia, yet the padded baseball glove August Pullman gives to his son is of a type used during the early 20th century. Before 1883 when padded gloves were first manufactured, gloves were either not used by baseball players or railroad brakeman's gloves were used.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the original show we are led to believe that Lorelei lost her virginity to Christopher. But in this, during the late night gathering outside after the funeral, Lorelei's story about her father was about her losing her virginity to someone who wasn't Christopher. She got pregnant at the age of 16. We are to assume that she did not sleep with anyone immediately after Christopher. If the above is true, she didn't get pregnant when she lost her virginity. If she didn't get pregnant then she should've been safe with Christopher. What did the above were true, we would have heard about it. She would have told her daughter about how she lost her virginity.
