Convergence - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: In the sit room, when the president is trying to decide whether to intercept the smugglers' aircraft, the local time displayed On the Clock in the background jumps from 19:12 to 19:58, back to 19:12, then to 20:13, then to 19:08. It then jumps to 19:53, then 19:59, then back to 19:15, then to 19:02. It then jumps to 20:00, before going back to 19:15 and finally finishing 19:02. All in the space of about 2 minutes of ‘real time'. (00:01:10 - 00:02:45)

Trivia

Family Separation: Part 2 - S5-E11

Trivia: What political party viewpoint does President Dalton associate with on the show? Even though there is political discourse on the show, Madam Secretary has done an amazing job of not naming political parties. However, a revealing political fact occurred when President Dalton is in a heated video teleconference with the Governor of Arizona and behind the governor is a framed picture of President Reagan. Therefore, the show finally makes a reference to a political party - the governor identifies with the Republican Party and President Dalton is not a Republican. (00:17:00)
