Launch Party - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: In 2-13 "The Secret" Pam and Jim are talking about how Jim used to have a crush on Pam when she first started here. This implies that Jim was working here when Pam was hired. However, in this episode Pam says that when Jim first started working there she said, "Enjoy this moment, because you're never going to go back to this time before you met your desk-mate, Dwight." These two scenes contradict each other.

Launch Party - S4-E3

Revealing mistake: In the first scene, everyone is in the conference room, just waiting for the block on the TV to hit a corner while Michael is blabbing away. The screen has no reflections, but later when Michael talks to the camera there is a reflection. In the scene you can also see the off shading on the characters in it, making it very apparent that the scene was filmed using a green screen.

Launch Party - S4-E3

Factual error: Michael and Jim are driving from their Scranton, Pennsylvania office to the company's headquarters in New York City for a website Launch Party. However, during the drive, it is clear by looking out the car windows at the mountainous and desert landscape that they are in California, where the show was largely filmed, and not in Pennsylvania, which does not remotely resemble that type of geography.

Launch Party - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: The way the numbers on the sales board are written by Andy change in between shots. (For example, the "305" is written differently, but still "305"; not that it becomes a "380" when Andy changes the number).

Michael Scott: This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here.

The Cover-Up - S6-E23

Question: In the beginning, when Jim and Pam are supposedly communicating through Morse Code, do they actually saying anything? What about the end with Pam and Dwight? What is said? Or is it just random clicks, taps, and blinks to seem like Morse Code for the audience?

Bishop73

Answer: This is what a person on Reddit wrote regarding Jim and Pam: I know Morse code well, and most of it was gibberish, especially Jim's clicks. Pam's second transmission was almost intelligible as SE HE IT (3 clicks 1 click, 4 clicks, 1 click, 2 clicks and long click). "

Answer: I only know the part about the detonator, the rest might be random but Jim said "There is a detonator in this office."

Is that what is actually clicked out? Seems way too long for what how short the scene is. Or are you just guessing that's what was implied because of Dwight's reaction.

Bishop73

Answer: I tried to solve it, seemed like random clicking to me.
