Suggested correction: When Michael stumbles into his cell and leans against the wall, there are blood trails over his hands. He then stumbles against the bed, and his hands are out of shot but his wrists are still visible. Then, when he falls back against the wall, his hands are visible with the blood trails.

Season 1 generally

Factual error: When Michael fills the tank with water (below the stock room), he then strips his clothes off, and slides down a pipe and into the water at the bottom of the tank. Since the water level was way above him, the pipe he slid down and the access to get there would have been flooded also. There was no water in the pipe he slid down, so for that area to be dry, it would have to be above the water line.
