2 factual errors in season 7 - chronological order

(2 votes)

Season 7 generally

Factual error: From the middle of season 6 onwards, the show's setting moves from California to Texas. However, throughout season 7, there are many shots with mountains in the background, especially when the characters are in Austin or Dallas. There are no major mountain ranges anywhere near these cities. In fact, there are no major ranges in Texas east of the Pecos River, which is hundreds of miles away from where the characters are situated.

Green Thumb - S6-E10

Character mistake: When Kim is trying to convince Lisbon to help the FBI on their case, she says Jane stopped the ten-year reign of a mass murderer. Red John was a serial killer, which, by the FBI's definition, is a criminal behavior distinctly different from mass murder; he may have had a large number of victims, but he killed them either one or a couple at a time, with a cooling-off period in between, not all at once.
