Chapter 3 - S1-E3

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the date on the security camera is 29/11/2020, 1:30 am. Later when the policeman checks his phone, it's 30/11, meaning that Pellegrini waited to contact him more than a day. In episode 2, Assane's phone showed the date as Tuesday 27th Oct (timecode around 00:16:30), which would mean if true that they investigated for over a month without discussing with the commissioner the basic details, which of course is impossible. (00:02:30 - 00:13:30)

What If... Captain Carter Were the First Avenger? - S1-E1

Other mistake: The premise of the first episode is flawed; "a single choice" should make the difference, the choice being identified as Ms. Carter not leaving the room to get in the observation booth. But in the normal timeline the booth is exactly where all the other characters were. In this reality everyone else is downstairs, with the German spy that inexplicably sets the bomb early. If anything, it's his bizarre, suicidal choice that matters.

Suggested correction: Except it was her decision to not leave the room that delayed the procedure and gave Heinz Kruger the chance to attack. And with her in the room, she is now given the chance to volunteer to take the serum.

How did her staying delay the procedure? Besides, in OTL the spy only triggered the bomb after he saw the procedure succeed, to know it works before stealing it.

Farnsby & B - S1-E18

Other mistake: The ghost in the Farnsby's house knew Ronald Reagan as an actor but in 70 years she didn't know he was elected President even though she would have heard about it from people who lived in the house during his terms.

Other mistake: Vincent falls from a parking garage and smashes onto the roof of his car, appearing nearly dead. In the next episode, he is in the hospital with multiple broken ribs and other fractures, yet he is released without even staying the night for observation.

Chucky picture

Give Me Something Good to Eat - S1-E2

Other mistake: Chucky's right middle finger is slightly but noticeably discoloured when he's talking to Jake in the bedroom near the beginning of the episode. It looks a bit more dull and grey than his other fingers. The "sculpt" also looks a bit rougher than the other fingers. It doesn't look like this in any other scene. (I'm assuming something happened to his finger during filming, and the special effects team had to rush to fix it during filming.)

Fed to the Sharks - S2-E21

Other mistake: Two FBI agents are speeding along a utility road trying to get to the airport and prevent a plane from taking off. They come across a closed steel gate in their way. They speed up the SUV and crash through the gate, and they get through as the gate breaks into many pieces. When their car gets to the airport we can see the SUV and there is not even a scratch on it.

Show generally

Other mistake: When Nadine met Knippinberg for the first time and narrates the incidents, he asks where Alain (Sobraj) is now. She says they have not arrived back yet. While it seems that Dominique has long been gone, but Nadine receives letter from Dominique the same day Sobraj returns. This was also the same day when Dominique was leaving the airport, and he saw Sobraj in the same airport.

Suggested correction: When Dominique was leaving the airport, he thought he saw Sobhraj but that man was not Sobhraj. In fact, this man was holding his child at the arrival gate. Sobhraj, Monique and Ajay did not return the same day Dominique left Bangkok.

Show generally

Other mistake: Danny Stevens, an undercover police officer, is killed. The police agree to investigate the murder of his undercover persona, Steve Daniels, thus allowing the investigation of his death without compromising their ongoing investigation into the activities of a drug kingpin. The officer investigating the murder visits the kingpin to ask about Steve's murder. She shows him a photo of the murdered man, but the name across the bottom is Danny Stevens - the policeman's real name.

Aftermath - S1-E1

Other mistake: When Tarkin walks out of the Batch's quarters and the shock troopers follow him, the one on the right side of the door has his hands positioned to hold a blaster, but no weapon is present. (00:38:35)
