The Veil picture

Show generally

Factual error: Emir's rank insignia as a Bulgarian naval officer is incorrect. He appears to be wearing the three stars of a vice-admiral on his epaulettes (far too senior to command the ship he commands), but the rank rings on his lower sleeve (two narrow rings above one regular) are completely made up.

Hell Has a Front Yard - S1-E3

Factual error: At the tanker / airplane accident site, Tommy states, "When 11,000 gallons of crude oil hits 100 octane AVGAS - it tends to go boom." The problem is there was no AVGAS present at that crash site. The plane involved in the accident was a King Air - which has turbine (jet) engines, not piston engines that would require AVGAS. A King Air is fueled with 'Jet-A' fuel. (00:28:00)

Other mistake: When Mr. Bulkington's reflection is shown in a window in his first appearance, his reflection is not backwards; note the direction of his tie stripes. (00:02:49)

From the Ashes - S1-E15

Visible crew/equipment: Outside the laundromat, when Cook comes out willingly to answer what he believes are follow-up questions, Lala whispers to Franks not to spook Cook. As Franks (with gritted teeth) leads Cook to the car, three T-marks (red, yellow, and green) are visible on the ground behind them. (00:16:45)
