Saving Souls - S2-E5
Audio problem: At the end of the episode during the Old Time Religion song, we see a few people mouthing the words to the song but their lips are not really in synch, same with their clapping.
Where the Heart Is (1) - S2-E6
Factual error: During the arrival at Beacon Hill, Colleen tells the girls during tea that the streets in Colorado Springs are all dirt, not the cobblestones as corrected by one of the girls (when Colleen referred to the Boston streets as rocks). When, in fact, several road scenes around Boston in several scenes are dirt or dried mud.
Best Friends - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning when Colleen and Becky are talking to the boy, there is a boy walking in the background. When he loses his hat, he is behind the boy talking to the girls. In the next shot he is already behind the two girls, which is quite a great distance to cover in a split-second. (00:06:30)
Factual error: Grace sings "Precious Lord Take My Hand." The song wasn't written until the 1930s.
Factual error: Near the end, when Horace is delivering Lincoln's Declaration speech, Mike and Sully are talking, you can see their breath. Indicating this was shot during the winter, when it's supposed to be July 4th Independence Day.
Continuity mistake: When the orphan is trying to steal the cigar's from Mr. Bray and has to smoke two of them at the time, in one shot, both of them are only half lit, in the next shot they are burnt down about half an inch. (00:35:50)
Visible crew/equipment: Matthew is talking to Hank in the saloon about Hank's horse that Brian wants. After Hank agrees to let Brian work for him to pay for the horse, Matthew walks out of the saloon. The camera pans to the left slightly and a microphone can be seen moving behind Hanks head. (00:32:30)
Revealing mistake: Obvious lip liner on Michaela in the end scene.
The Library - S3-E5
Other mistake: Dr. Mike spots a charred Bible within the charred piles of books, and heads into the church. The Reverend is giving a sermon on morality, and offers Dr. Mike the floor and she briefs about certain stories in the book, which would be considered scandalous, without mentioning the book's title, then hands it to the Reverend who agrees such stories are scandalous, until he turns it over, to see that its 'The Holy Bible'. Being a Reverend, he should know The Bible cover to cover, but reacts surprised or shocked over the mentioning of the scandalous stories. (00:36:00 - 00:41:00)
A Washington Affair (1) - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: Jesse and Brian enter the President's office from The Secret passage shortly after Sen. Steward and Capt. Burgoyne leave. When the two boys hear the door rattle, Jesse whispers to Brian that somebody's coming and they race off Right. The President's desk is still in 3/4 view, and remains so as Burgoyne re-enters and goes to the desk, noticing the open cabinet door, which he checks. He hears movement and voices a threat, then goes to check the curtains only to find nothing. The camera then pans down to show Jesse and Brian hiding scared under the desk. Given the brief timespan, the two boys could not possibly have moved there without Burgyone noticing their presence.
Audio problem: Just before Dorothy has her operation, Mike is seated at her desk looking through her medical books. Sully pays a visit to comfort her. During their moment, you can hear slight foot shuffling from the camera crew in the foreground - which is not coming from the outside. Also, you hear a slight grunting during a pause in their conversation.
Visible crew/equipment: Loren wakes Dorothy in the middle of the night to mention selling the store and taking her on a trip to New York. While seated at her bedside, you can see shadows of a crew member on the bed pillows next to her, and hear some muffled foot movement while Loren is seated, talking to her.
Other mistake: In the scene where Dorothy decides to join the church picnic (just before her operation) Grace is talking to her and hands her a glass of cider as Robert E. approaches. The sky is partly cloudy, but the lighting changes slightly during the shot, and at one moment, appears too bright on Dorothy just before she sets the glass down and walks away.
Visible crew/equipment: When Sully visits Mike at the clinic, after dark, to console her over Dorothy's health condition. Watch as he moves past the window. You can see two control room blue screens in its reflection, alongside a boom mic, and the shadow of a long-haired crewman, who stands up, and then sits back down. Though the camera moves behind a potted plant on Mike's desk to conceal it all.
For Better or Worse (2) - S3-E29
Other mistake: Cloud Dancing gives Sully his white Cheyenne tribal dress to wear as a wedding suit, but Sully pulls on a very different deerskin coat inside the barbershop.
Factual error: Horace catches the ball during the first half of the final competition as Otis approaches 4th base/pitcher's mound, which outs him automatically yet Michaela nor the team call it.
Suggested correction: He was out. It was obvious that he was out when Quinn said he caught it. There would be no point in having to call him out. Otis is then seen telling his players to return to their bases because they could be tagged out. But he doesn't bother going anywhere because even he knew he was out. And we do see the players get called out.
Character mistake: Loren mistakenly calls each pitch at the batter's mound a strike, when that is when a pitch is out of batting mounds, or the batter misses. A ball is when the batter ignores the pitch or doesn't make a swing.
Suggested correction: A player doesn't have to swing for a pitch to be a strike. He called them correctly.
Well unless I've missed something over the years in baseball... and Loren's obvious confusion on what to call... when a batter remains stationary during a pitch, that is a standard all-out ball. When the batter moves or swings and misses the pitch, it is a strike.
His initial hesitation had nothing to do with it being a bad call. And yes, you've missed a lot over the years. A batter can move or even check swing and still the pitch could be called a ball. When a batter remains stationary, that doesn't change a strike into a ball just because he didn't swing or attempt to swing. The poem "Casey at the Bat" is all about him not swinging on the first two pitches, and they were both called strikes.
Factual error: None of the Swedish wedding traditions Ingrid mention actually existed in the 19th century and the bread she's baked is not traditionally Swedish. When she later speaks in her mother tongue it's definitely not Swedish.
Factual error: In the later seasons (4-6) all the characters keep referring to their location as 'Colorado Springs' instead of just stating 'here'. Example: "I told him to stay in Colorado Springs" instead of just stating "I told him to stay HERE"
