Cold Stones - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: While in a Paris restaurant Carmela and Ro toast. Each time their wine glasses are shown on the table, the wine goes from a swallow to a half of glass. (00:39:47)

Snag.1

Cold Stones - S6-E11

Deliberate mistake: Tony smashes AJ's front windshield of his Nissan SUV one time with a plastic sports helmet and it leaves a hole 4 times the size. Not only is the scale size of helmet to hole incorrect, but front vehicle windshields don't shatter like that. Modern windshields are made of laminated safety glass, which consists of two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and bonded into the window frame. It would've taken many impacts to cause such a hole, not one hit. (00:49:00 - 00:49:45)

Soprano Home Movies - S6-E13

Other mistake: In season 5 episode 7, Tony is talking about JFK, and said he was in grammar school when it happened. However, in this episode Tony celebrates his 47th birthday. He was probably born in 1960, so he would have been no more than 3 years old and not in grammar school when JFK was president. (00:26:36 - 00:38:02)

Snag.1

Soprano Home Movies - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: After the fight between Tony and Bobby, Tony has a large blood stain on the front of his T-shirt and he passes out. The next morning Tony wakes up the blood stain on his T-shirt is significantly smaller. (00:32:00 - 00:34:00)

Remember When - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: Tony and Paulie rent a boat. After they cast off and get underway, Paulie is standing at the aft of the boat, not moving. Behind Paulie, there's a closed door with the boat rental information posted on it. As the boat continues to head out to sea, in the next shot of Paulie, the door is now open, but he is standing in the same spot. (00:45:20)

Remember When - S6-E15

Visible crew/equipment: While Tony and Paulie are alone aboard the rented boat, Tony questions Paulie about being the joke leak. When Paulie denies it and says, "It wasn't me, Ton'... That's right," Tony lifts his beer and drinks. It then cuts to a wide shot of the swaying boat, and at the top of the screen, we see a hand move atop the steering wheel at the helm; we even see the top of the hair of this crouching crew member as the wind blows, right before this shot cuts away.

Remember When - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: At the Miami restaurant, when Tony, Paulie, and Beansie lift their champagne flutes for a toast, in the close-up Beansie holds out his glass with his right hand, but in the two wide shots he holds the glass out in his left hand.

Remember When - S6-E15

Visible crew/equipment: At the hotel's complimentary breakfast buffet, Paulie loads up a plate filled with Danish and Yoplait for the drive down to Florida. It then cuts to the Wycoff Therapeutic Center, and at the start of this first shot, we can see the boom operator (papers in the back pocket) with left arm up, at the right side of the screen. The reflection of the moving boom pole is also visible over the fireplace mantle.

Snag.1

The Blue Comet - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: When the FBI dude follows Tony outside to talk to him, Tony's Escalade is visible behind Tony. When they cut away to the next shot and then back at Tony, there's a red Jeep where his Escalade was. (00:08:05)

Made in America - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Tony gets into Holsten's the man with the moustache sitting in the first booth facing the entrance is wearing a ring on his right-hand middle finger that disappears when Tony is seated. (00:54:19)

Proshai, Livushka - S3-E2

Question: In the credits a character is shown as "2 to 5 / 7 to 9". Who is this character and what is the significance of her name?

Answer: I'm not sure which person you're referring to here specifically, but the meaning is someone who makes a habit of constantly going to funeral calling hours (normally 2pm-5pm and 7pm to 9pm) for morbid entertainment or gossip purposes (elderly ladies, for example).

Ryan Grubb

Answer: In "Proshai, Livushka", she's the person talking to Meadow in the hall, while Tony watches, and says to Meadow, "I'm so sorry about your grandmother." She also appears and is credited in s03e05, "Another Toothpick" and s03e13, "Army of One." In s06e18 "Kennedy and Heidi", one of Tony's men points her out (although refers to her as 3 to 5, 7 to 9) and when someone asks why they call her that, he says "she never misses a wake." Although in this episode, Marie Donato is not credited.
