Wexler v. Goodman - S5-E6

Factual error: A copy of Jordan B Peterson's book 12 Rules for Life can be seen in the shot when Mike goes to a library. This book came out in 2019 and the show is meant to take place in the early 2000s. (00:21:07)

Namaste - S5-E4

Factual error: When Jimmy is in Tucumcari, New Mexico, there is a shot of him talking to Kim and in the distance there is a mountain range. Those are the Manzano Mountains, which are over 150 miles away from Tucumcari. Not only that, besides one small mountain south of the town, no major ranges can be seen from the town at all. Also, they're not even on the right side of the mountains. The side that is shown is the western face of the range, Tucumcari is east of those mountains.

50% Off - S5-E2

Factual error: When Jimmy is dropping his ice cream as he enters Nacho's car, a third-generation Land Rover Discovery can be seen turning in the background. The episode takes place in 2004, but the third-generation Discovery did not go into production until 2017. (00:44:12)

Namaste - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Jimmy buys three bowling balls in the second-hand shop and walks out with them in a small carry bag. He tosses three balls over the fence at Howard's car, but then later he is shown in his kitchen with Kim destroying one bowling ball in the same little satchel.

Wine and Roses - S6-E1

Question: When the house is being cleared out, there's a scene in the closet and as the camera is panning around, there's a ball cap sitting on a box with a logo I can't recognize or make out. Does anyone know what the logo is and if it came from an earlier episode or a "Breaking Bad" one?
