Correction: In this episode Allison is the head of GD. Yes, Fargo is the head of GD in this timeline but transferred the title "temporarily" to Allison so that he can go on the Titan mission.

Correction: He says "Allie, can you hear me?"

I Do Over - S3-E4

Corrected entry: Carter seems to be frazzled by the time anomaly, and acts as though he's never dealt with a time distortion before. But back in Season 2, not only did he learn that time travel/distortion was possible, he experienced it first hand by going back in time, four years into the past to stop Henry from saving Kim.

Knever

Correction: Henry used a device to erase Carter's memory of the future, so as far as he knows he never encountered time distortions before.

What Goes Around, Comes Around - S3-E18

Corrected entry: Even though technology could be made to remotely control a person, they'd still have to have a body tailored for certain activities. Zoe has never trained for diving, and thus her body (and presumable all of the other divers) is not used to performing those kinds of feats.

Knever

Correction: It doesn't matter what Zoe's body isn't used to, it only matters what she is capable of (so the device couldn't make Zoe fly, but could certainly make her dive).

The Ex-Files - S4-E8

Corrected entry: Carter is surprised to see Nathan in the Sheriff's office, and as well he should be, since the last time he saw him, he had dematerialized, and was, for all intents and purposes, dead. But that was in the original timeline before he and the others went back to 1947. So in this timeline, Nathan could very well still have been alive, and it's too big of a subject for it to have been discovered off-screen only.

Knever

Correction: Since they all investigated the changes in their personal lives, and Nathan was Jenna's father, they would have made sure he died and wasn't living in Eureka or somewhere else. They would have to make sure they were familiar with the circumstances of his death to ensure no one knew about the other timeline.

Founder's Day - S4-E1

Corrected entry: When going back to 1947, Doctor Grant is smoking filter tipped cigarettes before they were invented (in the early 50s).

Correction: Filtered tipped cigarettes were invented in the 30's. The machine to manufacture them was developed in the 50's that made it easier to produce.

Bishop73

Correction: The show has a large number of time-travel based plots, including the season 1 finale. Any number of changes to the timeline could cause her to no longer have the tattoo.

The mistake is valid. There's one time in the show where the timeline was changed that affected the present and that was in season 4. (Not to mention the fact that there were only 4 episodes with a time travel plot, and one was a time loop). In the season 1 episode the correction is referring to, Jack traveled to the past to stop Henry. Neither the past nor the present was changed, only the future as Jack and Henry remember. Lupo should still have her tattoo in season 2 and 3.

Phased and Confused - S3-E6

Other mistake: Captain Eureka losing his finger makes absolutely no sense. He doesn't cry out in pain, there's no blood, and where the finger ended up is completely illogical. The finger didn't just sever on its own; it's shown that severing only occurs when passing through objects. Captain Eureka goes through a wall that is a good fifteen feet away from where the finger is discovered, and it is implausible to think it could have rolled there on its own.

Just Another Day... - S5-E13

Trivia: In the final scene, as Jack and Zoe are heading out of Eureka, they pass their younger selves heading into Eureka. This scene is from the pilot episode where Zoe sees another version of her and her dad. However, in the pilot episode, the other (older) Jack and Zoe are in Jack's original car, not his Jeep, and other Zoe waves at them. I would call this a mistake, but I'm listing it as trivia because I know someone would say "after they came back from 1947, things changed so this changed too."

Show generally

Question: I've been re-watching this show, and have noticed this in nearly every episode. In scenes inside GD, there's always one person, a background extra, who seems to have clear plastic wrap over their clothes. Do you know what that is all about?

Holly Halfman

Chosen answer: It's basically just a type of suit that's made for whatever special project they're working on. No different than a lab coat, hazmat suit, fire coat, etc.
