The Return of Maggie Beckett - S5-E9

Factual error: The group slides to Fresno, where there is a monument to Maggie Beckett and the astronauts that were lost on an Intrepid mission to Mars. On the memorial stone, her name is misspelled as Maggie Becket, not Beckett as everywhere else.

Love Gods - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Quinn finds Natalie and goes over to where she is drinking and conversing with a man seated at a table. Quinn goes over, and in the next shot, she is alone at the table.

Love Gods - S2-E2

Deliberate mistake: Wade and Quinn go to the Top Hat Club. We see a line of people waiting to get in. After they are in the club a while, leave in a taxi, go to the park to meet Rembrandt and Arturo, discuss some things, talk to some passersby, and go back to the Top Hat. We again see a line waiting to get in. It is the same line with the same people in the same place as way earlier. It is a repeated shot of the previous queue from when they went there the first time.

Show generally

Question: The four main protagonists are constantly sliding into a different universe, with just the clothes on their backs, and they are usually very short of money or have money not used in that universe. So, how come they have such a varied and expensive wardrobe?

toroscan

Answer: They could go to an ATM and withdraw money from the account of that universe's double or, depending on how long they're stuck in whatever dimension they're in, they could do some odd jobs for some extra cash.

That's a good point. Thanks.

toroscan

You're welcome.

There actually is an episode that shows Rembrandt doing that exact thing.

Other mistake: Rembrandt is being tried in the People's Court. When he is sworn in, the bailiff ends the oath with "so help you God?" In this Earth alternative, the US is under Communist rule. There is no way God would be a part of an oath.
