Revealing mistake: The semi-automatic handgun the gunman is shooting has no rearward slide movement after each shot is fired for the shell casings to eject. The gun is firing but it's not reloading, however it's firing several shots. This is just not possible. In a few other previous gun scenes like the Mikey Palmice hit Christopher is dramatizing the recoil by moving the handgun up and down and snapping it in a way that just doesn't make any sense.

The Sopranos (1999)
1 revealing mistake in Whitecaps - chronological order
Starring: James Gandolfini, Lorraine Bracco, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli
Guy Walks Into a Psychiatrist's Office - S2-E1
Plot hole: In this episode Tony tells Janice that he has just put their mother's house on the market. In season one, the house had already been sold.
Suggested correction: Tony and others say many things that aren't accurate. While season one gives the firm impression that the house is sold, it's not confirmed on screen. There may have been a deal where the intended buyer couldn't get financing or a closing never took place for other reasons.
Tony Soprano: Oh, poor baby. What do you want, a Whitman's Sampler?
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).
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.
