The Office (2005)

4 corrected entries in season 3

(15 votes)

Correction: The board does not show number of days without an accident (or injury). It only indicated number of days without a loss of time incident. I've injured myself on The Job that didn't result in loss of time. Plus, the fact that they erased the number after Michael's screw up caused a big mess seems to indicate they were keeping track of days without screw ups that resulted in loss of productivity, not keeping track of days without injuries.

A Benihana Christmas - S3-E10

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the episode when Dwight brings in the dead goose, they have a shot of Ryan who has candy in his mouth, but the camera cuts to Dwight, then back to Ryan, and the candy is gone.

Correction: It is possible that Ryan just swallowed the candy in those moments offscreen.

Traveling Salesmen - S3-E12

Corrected entry: When Michael is having 'Harvey the talking computer' talk to Pam and Jim, the screen of Michael's computer is shown several times. At a few points you can see that Harvey's comments have already been typed out in full long before he said them to Pam/Michael typed them up.

Correction: The screen is once in both the edited and unedited versions. The edited one shows what he is typing as he types. The unedited version has the actual mistake where the screen is to already have the responses typed in which is impossible since the responses were conditional.

Traveling Salesmen - S3-E12

Corrected entry: When Michael is playing with "Harvey the Talking Computer", at one point we briefly see the screen where he is typing in the text for Harvey to say. Near the top of the screen is the line "Pam is the receptionist," which Harvey didn't say.

Moose

Correction: Michael has been playing with Harvey for a while before Jim walks in, and therefore could have typed many things that we didn't hear Harvey actually say.

Last Day in Florida - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: Toby competes with Darryl to sell Girl Scout cookies. Toby says it's his daughter's first year selling them. However, earlier in the series, Toby agrees to sign Dwight's apology letter from corporate if he buys cookies from his daughter.

The Cover-Up - S6-E23

Question: In the beginning, when Jim and Pam are supposedly communicating through Morse Code, do they actually saying anything? What about the end with Pam and Dwight? What is said? Or is it just random clicks, taps, and blinks to seem like Morse Code for the audience?

Bishop73

Answer: This is what a person on Reddit wrote regarding Jim and Pam: I know Morse code well, and most of it was gibberish, especially Jim's clicks. Pam's second transmission was almost intelligible as SE HE IT (3 clicks 1 click, 4 clicks, 1 click, 2 clicks and long click). "

Answer: I only know the part about the detonator, the rest might be random but Jim said "There is a detonator in this office."

Is that what is actually clicked out? Seems way too long for what how short the scene is. Or are you just guessing that's what was implied because of Dwight's reaction.

Bishop73

Answer: I tried to solve it, seemed like random clicking to me.
