Correction: There are two types of night vision goggles - passive and active. Passive night vision goggles work by intensifying whatever light there is - starlight, moonlight, whatever is available. A shadow will be visible on the viewscreen of any such goggles. It is likely they are using passive goggles as active goggles require a power source, and are consequently much bulkier.

For Tomorrow We Die - S1-E15

Corrected entry: Tessa finishes Duncan's sentence saying that the last time he wore a tuxedo was on the deck of the Titanic, however, in a previous episode he's shown wearing one at a New Year's Eve party in the present day. After fighting another Immortal, he puts on the jacket to hide the bloodstain on his shoulder before returning to the party just in time for the countdown.

Correction: Simple and understandable character mistake. Perhaps she forgot, or perhaps she simply didn't count that time because of the circumstances.

Show generally

Corrected entry: The immortal Kalas was an opera singer/immortal who was injured in a fight with another immortal,he has a scar on his throat,but immortals have almost instant healing abilities meaning that he shouldn't have a scar while he is an immortal.

Correction: In both the film and the show, the throat is the only vulnerable point for immortals. That is how they can be killed, and it is also one spot that may not completely heal from a severe injury. In the original film, Kurgan was sliced in the throat by Ramirez, and centuries later still had a scar from it.

Eyewitness - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When the police are taking Tessa to the safehouse and they spot Richie following on his motorcycle, the cop on the back tells Tessa to get down and pulls her down in the back seat. We then cut to a long shot of Richie following the car, and Tessa is sitting up on the passenger side. When the police pull over to arrest Richie, the cop in the back seat is again holding Tessa down. (00:34:30)

Show generally

Question: In all the Highlander movies and in this show, was there any reason given why immortals can't fight each other on holy ground?

Answer: Not directly. But there is a penalty involved. In Highlander 3 the fighting on holy ground resulted in the destruction of one of the weapons. In End Game several immortals are murdered whilst on holy ground but no repercussions were ever revealed, so it's possible it is specifically about the fighting. Nobody knows what happens when an immortal is killed in a duel on holy ground but it's safe to assume the penalty will be severe because all immortals respect this rule, even the most evil ones (except that one moment in Highlander 3).
