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.

Show generally

Question: At the end of the last ever episode, when Claire is taking the family photo, Nate whispers in her ear 'You can't take a picture unless it's already gone.' What does he mean by that?

Answer: Nate actually say "You can't take a picture of this, it's already gone." It's kinda hard to explain, but he's referring to the fact that the moment Claire wants to take a picture of is over already, and she can't take a photo of it, just a different, lesser moment.
