Crush Crush

Character mistake: In the phone call from Nova, there is one branch of the conversation that starts with the protagonist asking "Shouldn't you have used this call to contact a lawyer or something?" But the protagonist IS a lawyer (amongst many other things).

Suggested correction: Even lawyers will almost always hire another lawyer to do criminal defense.

This correction doesn't make sense. Nova is not a lawyer, the player (whom Nova is calling) IS a lawyer. The player isn't saying something like "why are you calling a lawyer", or "shouldn't you have called a criminal defense lawyer." Nova called a lawyer and the lawyer's response was "why didn't you call a lawyer."

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Squeeze Play - S4-E7

Character mistake: Misunderstanding which "Washington Senators" Mickey Dalrumple was referring to, Robin Masters says they went "out of existence in 1969." The Washington Senators ceased to exist with the 1971 season, before they relocated to become the Texas Rangers. (00:04:00)

Limited Engagement - S4-E5

Character mistake: Higgins remembers having met the sisters "37 years ago this July", and shows a "theatre program from Blackpool the summer I completed my upper second at Sandhurst." Considering the episode is set in 1983, Higgins would have still been in military academy in WW2, which contradicts the plethora of experiences in North Africa and Burma. It's more likely that John Hillerman misspoke and it was meant to be "47 years ago", before the war. (00:37:30)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Character mistake: The side story of Hyoga released from the ice coffin gets surprisingly frisky with typos such as "Anyone we've done has worked" and "I am the protector of the uninhibited Libra Temple." It's an empty (not inhabited) temple.

Distant Relative - S4-E4

Character mistake: Magnum mutters that they can still make it to the second half of Bambi, "Thumper is probably still alive." Thumper does not die in "Bambi", as Magnum should know since he's seen the movie already. Props to him for being cautious with spoilers casually leaking a fake one, then?

Smaller Than Life - S4-E3

Character mistake: Waldo's database entry from the CIA archive is quite odd. The most striking part is the "Basketball scholarship, 1983." Despite the way Rick reads it and reacts to it, the only way it could make sense if it referred to Waldo's son, or he'd have gotten it at the ripe age of 42 and 20 years after graduating from Yale. But it makes no sense that it would be there on his file, and contrasts with the succinct file on Skuler. (00:25:00)

Luther Gillis: File #521 - S4-E2

Character mistake: Agatha says that Higgins is teaching them "kung fu" although they all wear a karate gi and belts. Higgins then asks Luther to be a stand-in for the "jumping kick" demonstration, but the old lady charges at him with her hand at the ready for a karate chop. (00:16:00)

One More Summer - S2-E16

Character mistake: Higgins' anecdote inflicted on Rick says that In Kwangju. In '49, Corky Boswick got kicked in the head during "Sunday of the Queen's birthday party", but at the time, George VI was still King, and would be until February of 1952. (00:42:25)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Character mistake: At the station after the release of the first suspect, Kelly does the good cop routine and apologizes for his Sergeant, saying he does not like a private eye telling him how to do his job. Magnum 99% of the time during the show corrects people saying "private eye" with "private investigator", but here, he does not. (00:16:20)

Wave Goodbye - S2-E7

Character mistake: At the end of the episode, the cop reads the culprit his right, twists his arm and exits stage left with him. But 'left' happens to be towards the ocean, away from the patrol car. He also leaves the gun behind, lying in the sand. Worst cop ever. (00:47:45)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Character mistake: In the second Hell that Shaka puts in front of Ikki, he mentions "They are consumed their by hunger and greed", inverting two words.
