Question: Is there any mention in the films or books about how the extinct plants were grown (or recreated/cloned)? I've already suspended disbelief that their extraction of viable DNA is possible and I know seeds can lay dormant for thousands of years, so I can accept whatever made-up technique they claim. I'm not looking for speculation or "it's just a movie" type responses.

Jurassic Park (1993)
Answer: As the DNA came from fossilized tree sap, Probably an offscreen procedure of removing plant DNA directly from that.

A Thing I'll Never Understand - S6-E4
Question: Who sent Vic the barn toy? Some people on the internet say she bought it online (like eBay or Craig's list), but I don't remember seeing her be online to buy stuff. Plus, it didn't seem like she was doing much to prepare to have the baby, so it would seem odd that buying a used barn toy would be one of the first things she buys.
Answer: Chance.

Opiates and Antibiotics - S6-E7
Factual error: When we see Eddie Harp's driver's license, it expires 8 years after it was issued. However, Massachusetts driver's license are only valid for 5 years and expire on the person's birthday, not the issue date.

No Greater Character Endorsement - S6-E6
Continuity mistake: At the tribal council hearing, when they vote to oppose, 7 of the 8 raise their right hand (the man at the end raises his left hand). But in the close up panning shot of the raised hands, the guy sitting next to Jacob Nighthorse has his left hand raised. It's back to his right hand when they lower their hands.

The Eagle and the Osprey - S6-E1
Other mistake: When Walt is at his home waiting for a callback about the trace, his landline rings. However, the subtitles say [cellphone rings]. It's well established Walt doesn't have a cellphone.

Trivia: On the marquee they are showing "The Highwayman" (which could be one of several films). In 2016, the same year this episode aired, Craig Johnson published "The Highwayman: A Longmire Story." Incidentally, Netflix is distributing an upcoming film called "The Highwaymen." And, Callum Keith Rennie, who played Walker Browning in "Longmire", appeared in the 2000 "The Highwayman" film.

Longmire (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Walt is at the Red Pony to talk to Henry, he drinks some beer and when he sets the can down there's a food basket to his left. But in the next shot the food basket is next to his right hand. It switches back and forth depending on the camera angle.

Longmire (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Dave is talking to Tucker, while Tucker is on the practice tee, the number of golf balls on the ground change without Tucker hitting or adding any. When Tucker says "don't bother", there's 3 balls on the ground when previously there were only 2. He is then standing, talking to Dave, even when it cuts to Walt, Tucker is still talking and doesn't hit any balls (otherwise we would hear it). But then when he goes back to hitting the balls, there's only 1 on the ground.

The Jackal (1997)
Question: At the prison, when Witherspoon tells Declan "that's our deal", the camera is pointing towards Witherspoon and there seems to be something, or an image, behind him (to the left). What is it? It looks like a cardboard cut out of a person (to me I see a face and bare chest), only it's all grey and almost looks like Lobo from DC Comics. But I don't see anything in the wide shots that it could be. (00:25:55)
Answer: If you look at time 24:21, you can see two murals painted on the walls. Presumably by the prisoners. The one with his arms up striking a muscular pose is what you're seeing. The camera focused on Witherspoon in the shot you're talking about makes that image blurry in the background and gives it the effect of having dreadlocks. But it's just the muscle guy painting.

Longmire (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Ferg sets Walt's boots down, the right one tips over. But in the close up shot of Walt putting on the left boot, the right one is standing back up. But in the next shot you can't see it (if it was still standing it would be in the shot) and then we see Walt finish putting on his left boot, the right boot is back to being tipped over.

Factual error: We see Donna's driver's license, the expiration date is wrong. Driver's licenses expire on the person's birthday, not the issue date. Plus, in Wyoming they're valid for 4 years and hers is only valid for 3 years.

Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11
Character mistake: At the crime scene, the #8 evidence marker is in the bathroom. When Monk and the Captain are examining the body, a #8 evidence marker is seen on the lamp. They wouldn't use a number more than once at a crime scene.

Continuity mistake: The position of Gail's body moves at the crime scene from when officers cover her head with the tarp to when the Captain uncovers her a few moments later. At first, her left hand is under her forehead and covered by her hair, but then the hand is away from her head and not covered by hair.

Continuity mistake: Monte secretly records Ferg at the casino. However, the recording we hear is slightly different than what Ferg said at the casino. The pauses are in different places with an extra word and slight chuckle in the recording.

Chosen answer: It is never explained in any of the films or the novels. In the novel The Lost World it is very briefly mentioned that InGen maintains a facility where they house prehistoric plants but that is literally the only time it is brought up. It isn't mentioned in the films at all.
