Brotherhood - S1-E7

An Open Book - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Claire is lying on her bed studying, in the long shot we see an open ring binder and open book on the bed in front of her a few inches apart. The shot cuts to a close up and the book is now on top of the binder.

Crossroads - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: During the hiking trip when Parker is about to lead the group, Claire's water-bottle disappears then reappears from her hand as she's adjusting her backpack.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Right at the end when Nate is looking at people passing by on the street, his facial hair is thicker in some shots than in others. This is because they had some reshoots, as explained by Alan Ball in the commentary.

An Open Book - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During the scene where the four women are eating KFC, Hannah has her hands by her mouth and is not holding any food. The shot cuts, and her hands are suddenly much lower, and she has a piece of chicken in each hand.

An Open Book - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Nate and Brenda are arguing, just after Brenda sits in the chair, we see from behind that her left hand which is holding a cigarette is held up by her face. The shot cuts to a view from in front and her hand is instantly in her lap.

The Trip - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Brenda and Billy are arguing in the casino, the shoulder strap of Brenda's handbag moves from tucked under her collar in the close ups, to sitting halfway along her shoulder in the long shots.

Knock, Knock - S1-E13

Other mistake: Nate has his pager with him when sitting his exam paper. The pager goes off and he takes it from his pocket and reads a message without any comment from the exam invigilator.

Brenda: The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid living today.

Show generally

Question: Is there a website which explains how some of the main character's die at the end of the show? I know how Keith, David and Federico die, but what about Ruth, Brenda and Claire?
