Alien: Earth picture

Mr. October - S1-E2

Factual error: The state of the crashed ship and destroyed building makes it clear the so-called "Search and Rescue" team has no place here. Armed with rifles, military gear, and helmets, they're not equipped to save lives. Where are the firefighters with axes, EMTs with jaws of life, safety harnesses, or police to secure the scene? This operation looks more like a combat deployment than a genuine rescue effort. (00:03:30)

Thanatos - S1-E4

Factual error: SPOILER: the weird former FBI agent gets a gnarly dog bite on the leg, and he goes at least 24 if not 48 hours without it getting treated. By that time, he'd be showing major signs of infection and he'd likely not be able to walk due to the pain.
