Show generally

Corrected entry: Previously the Special Service has denied that Paul Kellerman has been working for them, so obviously he is under a false name. In episode 18, LJ correctly finds out that his real name is Owen Kravecki. Later in series 2 though, when Kellerman meets his sister, she calls him Paul. Wouldn't she call him by his real name, Owen?

Correction: Owen Kravecki is his false name. The same Owen Kravecki that works for the Bison Jerky factory. The secret service only denied that Paul Kellerman had worked for them, and it doesn't mean his real name isn't Paul Kellerman. The secret service doesn't call their agents by false names.

XIII

in the second last episode of season 2 Paul wrote a letter to his sister Kristy Kellerman as shown.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Season 4: Michael discovers that Sarah is still alive, yet in season 3 LJ says that she was killed right in front of him. Pretty big mistake for him to make, even if he was freaked out.

Correction: This was explained in both relevant episodes. LJ never saw Sarah being decapitated, he kept his eyes shut. Michael tells that to Lincoln in season 4 as well. It's quite well covered, really.

Show generally

Corrected entry: The state of Illinois does not use the electric chair for executions. Since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976, all executions have been done by lethal injection.

Twotall

Correction: If the show was trying to be completely accurate, then he wouldn't be put to death at all, because former Governor George Ryan issued a stay of execution that has not been rescinded. Seeing as the execution is the major story line, they didn't change it.

Season 1 generally

Factual error: When Michael fills the tank with water (below the stock room), he then strips his clothes off, and slides down a pipe and into the water at the bottom of the tank. Since the water level was way above him, the pipe he slid down and the access to get there would have been flooded also. There was no water in the pipe he slid down, so for that area to be dry, it would have to be above the water line.
