The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 1 - S3-E3
Factual error: When Tintin and Haddock are watching the two clowns performing on stage, the clown of the left is shown stepping in a spilt puddle of water on the stage, but the water is never affected, even when he steps in it. The water just remains completely still and no water is ever shown dripping off the clown's shoe. (00:04:40)
The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 2 - S3-E4
Factual error: When Tintin begins climbing the tree to see if the intruder is hiding, he jumps up and grabs one of the tree branches. The branch is practically unaffected by the Tintin's added weight. There is no sound heard when the branch is grabbed hold of, nor are there any vibrations made to the branch when Tintin grabs it. (00:28:55)
The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 2 - S3-E4
Factual error: When the intruder fires at Tintin, the shot misses him, but instead hits a tree branch. The tree branch is blown off, but the tree that the branch was hanging from has no visible damage. If the bullet had hit the branch and it flew off, there would still be a stump visible from where the branch had snapped off. If the bullet hit the tree and this caused the branch to fly away, there would be a visible bullet mark on the tree. Regardless, there is no way the tree would not have any visible damage done towards it. (00:30:00)
The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 2 - S3-E4
Factual error: The shed that the intruder fires at Tintin and Haddock from has a lock shown on the interior side of the door, but no lock shown from the exterior side of the door. (00:30:15)
The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1
Factual error: The taxi Tintin takes to follow Dawson has no writing on the front license plate. (00:09:00)
Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
