Once, in St. Olaf - S6-E2

Other mistake: When Rose relates the story of her birth, she says that Ingrid died in childbirth, and her baby was left at the orphanage in a basket. Brother Martin didn't know of the child's existence until after she was adopted. So who put the baby in a basket, and why? If a woman died in childbirth at the hospital, with the baby's father unknown, the orphanage would have taken custody directly. Babies are abandoned in baskets by living parents.

Once, in St. Olaf - S6-E2

Other mistake: Rose says that she was "eventually" adopted by the Lindstroms. Rose has previously stated that she lived at the orphanage for eight years. While "eight years" could qualify as "eventually," Rose also says that the Lindstroms took the beef sticks that were left in the basket with her, and that the basket contained cheese and crackers, as well. None of those items have a shelf life of eight years.

Feelings - S6-E6

Other mistake: Rose tells a story about her mother having undergone plastic surgery to look like Raymond Massey back when she still lived in St. Olaf. However, we see her mother in an earlier episode and she looked nothing like him.

There Goes the Bride (1) - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Rose says that Miles is in Europe with some students. The episode immediately before this one, however, revealed Miles being put back into a witness protection program, and leaving Rose.

Show generally

Question: The question "How do the girls' husbands, other than Dorothy's, die?" was answered that in theory, Blanche's husband could have had a car wreck, fallen into a coma, and died while she was getting a pedicure. This is not true. Blanche stated that when George came back to her in a dream, she remembered tripping over his shoe on her way to answer the phone, thus finding out that George had died in a car wreck. Doesn't this prove that the "he had a wreck, fell into a coma, and then died during Blanche's pedicure", theory is out?

Countryrunner

Chosen answer: Yes, you are correct, as stated, In one episode Blanche said he had been in a coma for days, in the episode where she's in her dream, she said "The day you died ... The police told me you had been in an accident." Thus the original answers theory is wrong. If he had been in the accident the day he died he could not have been in a coma for days.

Valentine

Yeah, in another episode she relates how a thoughtless state trooper phoned her and told her that her husband was dead with his mouth full.
