Continuity mistake: When Coriolanus and Sejanus are eating lunch at the Academy, Coriolanus has three cookies on his plate. He places a cookie into his lap to take to Lucy Gray, leaving two cookies on the plate. When the camera angle changes, the third cookie reappears on his plate.
Continuity mistake: When Coriolanus and Sejanus are eating lunch at the Academy, Coriolanus' sandwiches switch positions several times, stacking and unstacking, and turning several times.
Trivia: When Flickerman cancels his dinner reservation, he tells the restaurant, "Two, and a high chair," a reference to his son, Caesar, the future host of the Hunger Games.
Question: When Lucy Gray tells the peacekeepers to "give her a minute," why do they all back off and let her sing instead of carting her off to the train? The police basically take orders from her, and I'm pretty sure singing would have been classified as rebellious behavior. Was it because she had to have protection now that she was one of the chosen Tributes?
Answer: The Peacekeepers were likely a little subdued because a large crowd is watching and everything is being aired on live TV. They would not risk inciting a riot. The Peacekeepers are low-level Capitol servants, so they may be concerned about the repercussions to themselves if they are overly rough with a female tribute. Allowing her to sing also makes for better TV, and the Capitol is trying to increase viewership.
