Show generally

Audio problem: (1982) Alan and Monica: They spar, and Monica escapes to safety, in their bedroom, locking the doors. Alan threatens to "break it down" and she relents. Alan enters, leaving the door wide open, and they spar again, as Monica threatens him with alimony and the "shirt off his back" which he gratuitously supplies; literally ripping it off and throwing it at her. They fight some more and she breaks away as he grabs her into a passionate kiss, lowering her to the bed. Suddenly you hear the door close, in the background. The bed is clear across the room, so Alan could not have simply kicked it shut. (00:06:30)

The Cold - S2-E1

Audio problem: The zombie chasing the man gets tangled on a wire fence and gets shot in the head.

The Strength of the Wolf - S3-E4

Audio problem: One of the team members shoots a sentry on board a ship off a ladder attached to the deck hanging off the side of the ships hull. He shoots an unsurpassed Glock and the shot sounds suppressed. A muzzle flash can be seen too, another indicator it's unsuppressed. Their element of surprise would have been totally eliminated had this really happened. They've used suppressors before on their sidearms - doesn't make sense why they wouldn't now. (00:31:00)
