Capitol Offense - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When Jessica is meeting with Congressman Dan Keppner, there are two windows with the Capitol building behind. One can see it's a painted backdrop, most noticeably the window on the left with the garden view.

Sing a Song of Murder - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When the first scene at Emma's hideaway was shown, obviously the two characters Emma and Jessica were filmed seperately on the couch and then the film was put together (as both are played by Angela Lansbury). However Jessica did a lot of moving while she was talking, so Emma was looking straight across at where she had been, despite her bending down while she talked.

Sticks & Stones - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: When Jessica visits the basement, there's plenty of light everywhere. She then turns off the light, but there's still plenty of light. However, when Adam Frobisher shows up half a second later, the whole place is now in darkness to allow for all the mystery and the intrigue.

Snow White, Blood Red - S5-E4

Revealing mistake: All the shots of snow falling, mainly when Gunnar is about to be killed, are a very obvious crappy footage of flakes falling projected over the footage of the show. Not a single flake falls on the objects nor the people.

Trevor Hudson's Legacy - S5-E18

Revealing mistake: There are 2 scenes involving Jessica inside a car. In the first one the car drives calmly as seen from the outside shots, but from the shots inside the car is speeding. When the episode is about to end the car speeds to the police station and now the exact same projection is played, though this time it makes sense.

Appointment in Athens - S6-E1

Revealing mistake: All of the exterior shots of Jessica and Hagarty are wide shots with very obvious stand-ins. Jessica is thinner and younger, while short-haired Hagarty's double is younger, chubbier, and has long hair around the nape.

Jack & Bill - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: When the episode ends and Bill leans down for the dog to lick him, a shiny light-brown spot is visible on the actor's jaw - seemingly a bit of food placed there to prompt the dog's trained reaction.

Jack & Bill - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: In the toilet scene, when Max slams the terrorist against the wall, he is replaced by a very obvious stunt double with longer hair and a noticeably larger build.

Sing a Song of Murder - S2-E5

Audio problem: When singing "Goodbye little yellow bird" Emma blows a kiss to Oliver offstage, but she is still singing the song when she is blowing the kiss. Although it's possible she was pretending as it was part of the act, her voice wasn't even muffled by her hand.

Answer: Yes, he didn't want to be a hero. He liked being the Phantom going anywhere and doing what he pleases with people thinking there was a ghost.
