Day 7: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - S7-E2

Factual error: Tony Almeida takes control of 2 planes to create a near miss. In reality all aircraft use a commonly available AM voice radio and pilots can hear each other's radio communications. It would be straightforward to contact the planes and warn them.

Continuity mistake: At the start David is giving a speech about winning the primary. There is one point during a split screen where he grabs his microphone. However in the immediate next shot his hands are on the podium. (00:04:10)

Continuity mistake: We see a black car driving down the street after the end of the scene between the two Palmers. In this shot you can see the passenger in the back of the car (Andre) is not on the phone. Camera changes to inside and Andre is on the phone. (00:15:50)

Other mistake: When David is talking to his son on the balcony he asks if he (Keith) could live with everything being about him. This is during a split screen where you can see David's head in both shots. In one shot his head moves to the side, but in the other shot that is supposedly at the same time, his head doesn't move.

Suggested correction: It's a dirt road - presumably other cars drive on it occasionally. There aren't any skid marks or similarly specific features.

The roadway is tarmac. The tracks mentioned are on the side of the tarmac. Why would a normal law abiding citizen drive off the tarmac?

Visible crew/equipment: When we see the safe house from in the tree after the guard has been killed you can see the camera shadow on all the branches. It can't be a normal branch shadow we see as the shadow's edge is perfectly straight. (00:18:15)

Tony: I know, but it will make me feel better.
Jack: Trust me, you won't.
Tony: Yeah, I probably won't. I'll let you know.

Season 1 generally

Question: Was Nina recruited as a spy before she joined CTU or after? Also, as she wasn't working just for the Drazens, what was her primary mission?

Answer: According to Jack in season 5, Nina was "deep cover" before the pair ever met, so it's safe to assume she was recruited before she joined CTU. As for what her primary mission was, who knows? Perhaps it was to gather sensitive intel and pass it on to her superiors. Given that she worked for an intelligence agency, it's not a stretch. Or perhaps we may find out in season seven.
