Starring: Judd Hirsch, David Krumholtz, Rob Morrow, Alimi Ballard
Soft Target - S2-E6
Character mistake: On the roof, Don and the other agents have their weapons drawn on James Grace, who is holding Houseman hostage with the fake bomb. Once Grace is taken away, the threat is gone. But Don still has his gun pointed at Houseman, with his finger on the trigger. Houseman, while Don might think is a jerk, was innocent of any crime. There's no reason an agent like Don would have his gun pointed at him.
Continuity mistake: When Charlie Epps is writing a quadrillion on the whiteboard, the writing alternates between shots. Most noticably when he first writes it down, there is a significant downward tendency of the 000 groups. In the next shot, they are pretty much horizontal. Also the shapes of the commas alter.
Charlie Eppes: Everything is numbers.
Trivia: Judd Hirsch is an astro-physicist and can actually do the math Charlie does on the show. He caught the acting bug in school and chose that over physics.
Question: This question is about the mistake where a SWAT officer has a magazine backwards in his MP5. I know this would be impossible on a real weapon. But, how could it have happened in filming? Rubber cast weapon? Very badly worn prop weapon? Set armourer with a hammer and no clue?
