3 mistakes in Leonard Betts

(12 votes)

Leonard Betts - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: When Scully finds out about Betts' mother she says that "She lives right here in Pittsburgh." Nothing wrong there except that at the time they has just left Chuck Burks' lab - which is in Maryland. (00:17:40 - 00:21:10)

Leonard Betts - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: In the first footage of the episode we can see that the ambulance's lower right lamp is off. However, at the moment of the crash it is on. Not to mention that the Chevrolet logo, previously seen at the ambulance front, has vanished. We conclude it is not the same vehicle. (00:00:10 - 00:01:06)

Leonard Betts - S4-E12

Factual error: When Scully is performing the autopsy on Leonard Betts' severed head, she states "As remains are incomplete, all observations refer to a decapitated head." This phrasing is redundant. The proper terminology would be "disembodied head." As a medical doctor, Scully should know this.

Triangle - S6-E3

Skinner: Use your head Scully. It'll save your ass.
