The Blacklist (2013)

2 factual errors in season 8 - chronological order

(12 votes)

Chemical Mary (No. 143) - S8-E7

Factual error: French (and other nations) ATC rely on ground-based radar to track aircraft, not GPS from the cockpit of an aircraft. Meanwhile, whilst the aircraft that had been tampered with had compromised systems, the TCAS radar on the plane flying in the other direction would have alerted its pilots to take avoiding action.

Ogden Greeley (No. 40) - S8-E8

Factual error: During the scene in a London bar, the emergency exit sign is red (and not green as required by UK law). The signs adjacent to the toilets are unlike the ones regularly seen in the UK, as are the US style light switches and a 110v power outlet in the ladies' toilets.

The Harem (No. 102) - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the episode a Cadillac Escalade gets stolen. The car is the newest model. The chase begins and the car is a new model right up to a scene when they crash into some other cars. That part was filmed with older model Cadillac. The damage is quite severe, but the chase continues again with the new model that has only one bit of damage - a mirror that has come apart.

The Corsican (No. 20) - S6-E2

Question: When Ressler is trying to find the elusive Constantine, why don't they radio descriptions such as (grey hair, sunglasses, blue blazer)? As he tends to the victim shot at UN, why does he not simultaneously radio for perimeter search with description? In same episode, Keen states how much "good" Red does as if defending him to her "sister" yet she then says she is the one who turned him in? Not logical. And besides, was it ever proven that the sister is in fact Liz's sister via DNA etc.? Not very good FBI work.
