The Black String

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Marsh carries two plates with food to the table and starts to place the plate in her right hand in front of Mr. Marsh, but when the camera shifts, she is placing Jonathan's plate in front of him (and it appears she is doing so with her right hand, not the left hand she was holding Jonathan's in).

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Marsh is setting Jonathan's plate in front of him, the mashed potatoes are to Jonathan's right, but when the plate is set on the table, a close-up shows the mashed potatoes are to Jonathan's left. Afterwards, the mashed potatoes are to Jonathan's right again. (00:35:55)

Continuity mistake: The first close-up of Jonathan's plate shows mashed potatoes in the upper left, "Welcome Home" written in ketchup in the upper right, asparagus sprigs near the center of the plate with the tops facing left, and ham slices below the asparagus. The second close-up of his plate shows mashed potatoes in the upper right, "Home" written upside-down in the upper left, asparagus sprigs near the middle but the tops facing right, and the ham slices still below the asparagus. (They are not mirror images). (00:35:56)
