Point of No Return - S1-E8

Rendezvous - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: While Michela is chopping onions and crying Zeke comes up and hugs her with his head over her left shoulder. Her hair is brushed behind her right ear, away from Zeke. Suddenly, there's a jump cut to a tighter shot and her hair is down in front of both ears and she brushes the left side back as she kisses Zeke. (00:03:30)

Compass Calibration - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: In season 1, the pilot episode, the tail fin of the plane is blue with a white logo only. Starting season 3, the tail fin has "Montego Airways" written in red above the white logo. In most episodes, the tail fin is shown from the other side than the one shown in the pilot episode but in the last episode, when the tail fin falls in the water, you can see both sides with the red writing above the logo. (00:30:57 - 00:41:27)

Coordinated Flight - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: In the hospital ben sits next to his wife's bed. Ben has no glasses on. In one cut he has the glasses on and the next they are gone again, then a few seconds later you see him put on the glasses. (00:19:00)

False Horizon - S2-E3

Factual error: In a flashback scene, Dr. Saanvi Bahl is sending a voicemail to her partner on an IPhone 5S, just before Flight 828 takes off. The IPhone 5S was released in September of 2013, and Flight 828 disappeared in April of 2013 in the series. (00:01:08)

Trivia: The plot is about flight 828 which disappeared for 5 years, then simply showed up again as if no time had passed for the passengers. Throughout the show, the number 828 is related periodically to addresses, file nos., times, etc. Not referenced is the fact that addresses of all passengers are numerically related to 828 - i.e. Michayla's apt. is 414 (half of 828). Others are 5328 (5+3=8, 2, 8), etc.

Show generally

Question: Does it seem like this show took from LOST in the sense that a phenomenal event starting with a plane crash changed people's lives?

Rob245

Answer: Only superficially. Manifest doesn't even begin with a plane crash, but rather a plane disappearing for 5 years with the assumption that it crashed, which turns out not to be true.

In the particulars it seems different, but the overall plot is the same. A seemingly random group on an airplane experience a weird event and spend years trying to figure out what happened. Let's hope the reveal in the final episode is not as disappointing as "LOST" - they're actually all dead.

Answer: Yes, I see the larger connection. There are a lot of movies and shows where people come back from somewhere like car, train, and bus crashes, or even space, war, or who knows where, then try to figure out why. We probably should consider a new genre for plots where the departed or missing return and try to figure out why. Needs a name though. Maybe "Come-back Conundrums" or "Put-back Puzzlers"?

Answer: "The major" is a major general, no major general would go by a title implying a lower rank. Her official DOD photo shows her (and a bunch of other women in uniform) with long loose hair below their collar. Women's hair has to be above the collar or put up, until VERY recently, and if this show is set in 2018 the hair is out of regulations. No major general would have an official photo with hair out of regs.
