Bolshoi Booze - S2-E11

Factual error: Linc arrives at the 'Bolshoi Booze' location at 17:45. It is an 8 hour drive from Trinidad Colorado to that location, which is right on the Texas - New Mexico border. That means that they would have had to have left at 09:45 that morning. But they don't appear to have stayed a night at Linc's father's place - and in none of the other plot lines has it been night. They couldn't have covered that ground in the time span of the plot.

Manhunt - S2-E1

Factual error: When the member of Terrance Steadman's security team shoots Veronica Donovan, the wound shown in the front of her head is an exit wound, while the exit wound should have been in the back of her head since she was shot from the front. (00:36:30)

Season 2 generally

Factual error: Michael and Lincoln are seen in the morning at 9 am in Montana (between Great Falls and Helena). Later in the show, the next day at 12.50 am, they are trying to meet with Sarah in Akron Ohio. That is a 33-hour drive from Helena.

Bad Blood - S2-E17

Factual error: Episode: Bad Blood. When the airport security guard stops to give Sucre a ride, his car has Sinaloa plates on it. Since he works in Ixtapa/Zihuatinejo, it should have Guerrero plates on it. Sinaloa is several hundred miles away.

Bad Blood - S2-E17

Factual error: When Mahone is at MSP International he gets the call about C-Note being in the diner in Benson, MN and says to "fax Fanklin's mugshot to every hospital in southeastern Minnesota." Benson is in West-Central Minnesota, almost 3 hours from Minneapolis, definitely not southeastern MN. (00:03:50)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Actually it would be. 6 hours by plane is the same as New York to London. 6 hours on foot wouldn't even get to state lines. So the circle is a very close representation on how far they could go.

Manhunt - S2-E1

Factual error: When Veronica has a conversation with Stedman, he tells her that he can't escape and that the glass is 2 inches thick. However, if the glass in the door was 2 inches thick, the wood door would have to be 5-6 inches thick to even support such thick glass. The door would be extremely heavy. And it obviously went unnoticed by Veronica as she entered the home with no effort.

Otis - S2-E2

Factual error: As Michael and Linc walk into the street level of the parking garage in Oswego, IL there is a sign on the adjacent exterior wall advertising "WFAA 8" which is actually Dallas-Ft Worth. (00:10:45)

Map 1213 - S2-E5

Factual error: The co-ordinates C-Note gets come out nowhere near Tooele, Utah. They don't even come out in Utah! They appear close to Idaho Falls, Idaho. (00:20:50)

Subdivision - S2-E6

Factual error: Early in the episode, a flyover context shot is made. It is labeled "Salt Lake City Federal Building." In reality, the image is of the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas. In the background, you can see the community arts center and the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center.

And Then There Were 7 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Quinn falls in the well, he falls through and subsequently destroys the well cover. At the end of the episode when the Secret Service boys show up, an undamaged cover is lying next to the well, which Kellerman uses to cover it up. (00:29:30 - 00:38:30)

Greatness Achieved - S4-E9

Question: How does Don Self know that Miriam should work at Gate when nobody knew about the location of Scylla? Or Whistler wanting to work there?

Answer: Don Self actually worked with Whistler before he died. And Whistler with the bird book actually knew where Scylla was.

Answer: Because Miriam was an agent.

But that still doesn't make sense because nobody knew where Scylla was.

He knew that GATE was mentioned in the bird book. He worked with Whistler and had probably discussed GATE with him, so it was clear enough that it was a big part of the plan to get Scylla. Sending an agent to work there in any position would've been a big help for intel, as she could assess the environment and perhaps uncover what Whistler's plan was. He didn't anticipate T-bag's hijacking of the plan, hence why he sent Miriam and not a more combat-trained agent. She was only there for information.
