Return to Devil's Hole - S1-E7

Corrected entry: After he's taken to the bunkhouse, Hamilton is examined and it's determined that he hit his head on the wall when he fell. But we saw him fall - through an open doorway. He never touched the wall. (00:22:45 - 00:26:15)

Correction: If you watch closely, Hamilton hits his head on the outside wall of the porch.

Return to Devil's Hole - S1-E7

Corrected entry: After their fight outside, Heyes and Big Jim go into the house and both pour glasses of whiskey. Heyes then places his glass on the table and surprise-punches Big Jim, who was still holding his glass. But in the next shot, Jim's glass is no longer in his hand - Heyes somehow has it and is giving it back to him. (00:20:45)

Correction: This is not a continuity error. Just as Heyes begins his left hook into Jim's midriff, you can see a move of his right shoulder, indicating that he considerately lifted the glass out of Jim's hand as Jim doubled over, thus having the glass available to offer Jim after Jim hits the floor.

Shootout at Diablo Station - S2-E11

Plot hole: Well within earshot of the others in the small room, Curry comments to Heyes (purely for the viewers' benefit, since Heyes already knows it) that if Lom Trevors is killed, their amnesty will go with him. This information should have blown their cover, but for some strange (and unbelievable) reason, no one wonders what he's talking about. (00:19:00)

Hannibal Heyes: Look, Wheat, I agree, we gotta bust him out. But it's gonna take finesse.
Kyle Murtry: Wheat didn't bring any of that.

The Biggest Game in the West - S2-E19

Trivia: This was the first episode with Roger Davis replacing Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes. Duel's tragic suicide apparently meant nothing to insensitive network execs at ABC. They insisted that the production schedule proceed uninterrupted, and that all scenes already in the can with Duel be reshot with Davis. There are three places in the episode, however, in which Duel can still be recognized: in the series intro, pulling a safe from a train (this shot remained for several episodes before being trimmed); walking into the hotel from the stagecoach; and in the scene where Heyes convinces Curry to go talk to the Devil's Hole Gang (shots taken over Heyes' shoulder are of Pete Duel, whose hair was much darker than Davis').
