Suggested correction: "The wolf is accused of killing two officers, but they were only tased." It's actually he killed the 2 men not the officers thy were talking about the 2 men he had to help him.

Deadhead - S3-E2

Other mistake: Micaela and her partner are chasing an RV. A man from the RV throws a propane tank in her path. You can tell from the sound and how it bounces that it is empty. When the car hits it, the tank explodes, and she swerves the car into the brush and the airbags deploy. Later, as she is driving on the same road she gets a call that the RV has been spotted. Her car shows no damage. (00:17:44 - 00:29:10)

Compass Calibration - S3-E10

Other mistake: After Michaela and Astrid saved Coby Webber's son, you can see a NYPD car which is assigned to the 29th precinct. First of all there is no 29th precinct, and if there was a 29th precinct, it would be located in Manhattan, since all precincts in Manhattan are numbered in the 1 to 34 range. Also, it is shown that the house is on the countryside, so it is out of the NYPD jurisdiction.

Compass Calibration - S3-E10

Other mistake: They assemble nine of Cal's drawings into one. But the final arrangement has a white outer border. Clearly a poster that was cut into nine pieces, not nine drawings.

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

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.

Questions

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.

BaconIsMyBFF

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.
