Don't Go - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: Coach Taylor is driving Tami to the airport. With each change in exterior shot, the window is rolled down on the side of the car nearest the camera and rolled up on the "far" window. They magically disappear and reappear. Also, there is little to no continuity in the exterior locations as they roll along and shift shots; moving from residential to industrial to open highway and back with no transition. (00:19:50 - 00:20:48)

Don't Go - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: As Coach Taylor exits his front door, he is holding his ball cap, sunglasses, and some papers in his right hand. The hat is dangling on the left, and the sunglasses on the right. In a sudden shift to a wider shot, we now see the sunglasses and hat have changed position - sunglasses on the left, hat on the right. (00:38:53)

Tim Riggins: Texas forever.
