Shall We Gather at the River - S2-E2

Corrected entry: During the abortive attack on the aliens' structure in season 1, Weaver's command car, the GTO convertible with the 50 cal gets hit, and ends up lying on its side. The second episode of season 2 shows it, intact and undamaged as Tom and Weaver are discussing their plans. I can understand salvaging the .50, but the fuel and engine oil would have leaked out of the GTO, and once on its four wheels there would be no guarantee of its starting.

Correction: Actually, unless the engine block cracked, most of the oil would likely stay inside the engine, likewise unless the gas cap broke off, most of the gasoline would remain in the tank. I had a motorcycle accident a few years ago, and after a year, I still had to drain oil out of the engine to finish rebuilding it.

Live and Learn - S1-E1

Factual error: When Tom has decided his scout group will have to go for the food and then his look for his son later, they are stood on a green. There is a war memorial dedicated to both World Wars, 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945. That's got to be in Canada, as the USA didn't enter either war until later than those dates. (00:28:00)
