That's My Boy??? - S3-E1

Corrected entry: Here's a theory as to the "mistake" of Rob and Laura bringing Ritchie home to their new house instead of the house in the flashback episode about Ritchie's birth: They contracted for the purchase of the new home before the birth (this was covered in another episode), but the closing and moving were taken over by Rob and his friends while Laura was in the hospital. Bear in mind that in the 1950's a mother and baby would often spend a week or more in the hospital which would have afforded Rob plenty of time to get things arranged in her absence.

My Two Dads - S1-E5

Corrected entry: In the scene at the golf-course Dr.Cox is talking to J.D and in the background there is a person visible for a short while behind the large tree in the background. There aren't any other people there and the person does not appear to play golf. (00:13:55)

Corrected entry: A couple of times we see Fortinbras tearing down a map of Denmark, showing a map of Scandinavia behind it. The borders on this map shows parts of today's southern Sweden as Danish. While this was true in the early 17th century when the play was written, the movie is set in the 19th century when today's borders had already been established. (00:05:40)

Corrected entry: When Danny and Nick stop to pick up the swan, Nick opens the passenger door and you can hear the bonging noise of the door open alarm. Its the only time we hear it when it should in fact be constant, because the drivers door is missing, and the car would interpret that as the door being open.

Corrected entry: [Spoiler Alert]: Lyra discovers her relationship to both the blue-eyed Mrs. Coulter and the blue-eyed Lord Asriel. Lyra's eyes are very deep brown, an almost infinitesimal chance, given her parentage.

Corrected entry: Sonny and the crew get the call from their police inside informant from the station house as to where the meeting between Michael and Sollozzo (along with NYPD Captain McCluskey as Sollozzo's bodyguard) will take place (recall that it is made clear that a Police Captain must let it be known where he will be at all times if he is away from the station house). It is to be held at a restaurant in the Bronx. This is important so they have time to plant the gun in the bathroom for Michael. Tessio immediately says he knows this restaurant - a family place, good food, etc. *but* - in actuality, it would *not* be Tessio but rather *Clemenza* who would know this small neighborhood restaurant, since Clemenza's territory - where he is a captain - is the Bronx and Tessio's is Brooklyn. This is such an obvious mistake it boggles the mind no one on the set caught it, especially the writer, Mario Puzo.

Corrected entry: When Luna just entered the Room of Requirement, and Filch, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle are running after her. The members of the Dumbledore's Army are standing around the dummy practicing on it. It is extremely clear that Neville says expelliarmus, and succeeds, but no one applauds him (this is before he disarms Parvati.).

Corrected entry: On D-Day itself only TWO German fighters actually attacked the beaches of Normandy (in total contradiction to Hitler's orders, who still thought of it as being a feint attack). The pilots were the aces Josef "Pips" Priller and Heinz Wodarczyk.

Corrected entry: When Vesper lowers herself into the water while inside the elevator, the elevator car's "roof" is shown. As the car falls, the roof lifts completely away from the rest of the car, which would allow Bond quick and easy access. There are also many gaps in the bars and wire mesh that make up the elevator shaft that are large enough to easily allow both Bond and Vesper to pass through simultaneously. There's no reason Bond should have followed Vesper down from outside the shaft and attempted to break the elevator door open - he could have got to her from above, quickly and easily, whether she wanted him to or not.

Phixius ★

Corrected entry: When Bruce's boss buys his lunch from a man in an apron, telling him it's "An exellent choice," this is a reference to the movie "I am Sam," where the protagonist had a similar appearance and used that same phrase over and over.

The Christmas Invasion - S2-E2

Corrected entry: In the in-vision commentary, Julie Gardener's party hat keeps going from being on her head and off throughout the episode without time to move it.

Corrected entry: The whole scene where Peter is testing his web powers by swinging across the road and hitting the billboard on the roof defies the laws of physics no matter how you try to explain it. Peter, the web line and the crane were a pendulum, so if the crane were behind or directly above the sign, Peter would not have lifted back up because he didn't pass under the pivot. If the crane were before the sign, he would up swing but would not have been able to slide down the sign immediately after impact because he would have swung backwards toward the pivot again meaning he'd need to wait until the back-swing reached zero and went in the other direction towards the sign; this would take several seconds.

Corrected entry: Ellie drives her jeep to confront Drumlin after learning he's pulling the plug on their research funding. She begins her typical argument, "there are 400 billion ." and he cuts her off with, "two possibilities: 1) they're so far away you'll never contact them, or 2) there's nothing out there but noble gasses and carbon compounds" . (ahem) the top 10 elements of which our local sun is comprised are: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Silicon, Magnesium, Neon, Iron and Sulfur (that's two noble gasses out of 10 ?) and isn't carbon-based life what they're looking for? so . carbon-compounds wouldn't be a bad thing to find, now would it? (00:26:45)

Corrected entry: Ellie tells Palmer, "There are 400 billion stars out there, just in our galaxy alone. If only one out of a million of those had planets, alright, and if just one in a million of those had life, and if just out of a million of those had intelligent life, there would be literally millions of civilizations out there." Such a brilliant MIT grad, should be more convincing using mathematical arguments: 4.00E+11 x 1/1.00E+6 x 1/1.00E+6 x 1/1.00E+6 = 4.00E-7 (that's 0.0000004 planets in our galaxy with life!) Not a very persuasive argument for vast quantities of life in the universe. (00:17:15 - 00:17:45)

Corrected entry: During the first dance number, when Chad is dancing with the cheerleaders in the hallway, all of the girls are not wearing any shoes but instead they are dancing in socks.

Corrected entry: Nesmith is welcomed to the real, Thermian-created spaceship by Mathesar, who says, "Welcome to the 'Protector II'. However, when the ship is shown it is only christened with the name 'Protector'.

Corrected entry: In 1981, Billy Connolly appeared with the Monty Python group in a stage production called "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball". In "A Series of Unfortunate Events", Connolly plays Uncle Monty (Monty), a herpetologist (Python).

Corrected entry: French star ratings only go up to three stars. However Gesteau gets a five star rating. This is maybe because English people would not understand why a three star rating is superior in French guides.

The Naked Now - S1-E3

Corrected entry: When Wesley demonstrates his miniature tractor beam, he looks over his shoulder. The controlling device in his hands shakes a little during it - but the model stays very calm in the air. (00:18:10)

Corrected entry: During the boat chase at the beginning, Bond's special boat is seen to have a feature that allows it to dip down and under the surface of the water, effectively turning it into a short-duration submarine. Unfortunately, the designers of the boat failed to equip it with any kind of sealed cockpit for the operator. What could possibly be the advantage of an open-cockpit boat that can also completely submerge? The driver could not effectively see to operate the controls, nor could he hold his breath long enough to travel any reasonable distance. Additionally, at any speed above "extremely slow", the force of the water rushing by the driver's face and body would be quite painful indeed! And it would be impossible to quickly drain the water out of the hull to allow it to float on top of the surface again. About the only useful purpose this function would serve is conveniently exactly what happened in the movie. What an amazing bit of foresight on behalf of Q-Branch.
