Gettysburg - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: While Andy continues the tour, Gabe stays behind to perform as Abraham Lincoln. Later on we see Gabe with the others, we even get a close up. A while later, when everyone is tired and sitting on the grass, Gabe doesn't seem to be there. Eventually the episode ends with Gabe finishing his performance.

Christmas Wishes - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode when Robert California is escorting Erin out of the office, they are already in the parking lot speaking while it cuts to a shot of a concerned Andy in the conference room watching them from the window. A few moments later, Andy is shown saying goodbye to his girlfriend, while watching Robert and Erin leave the office. This should not be possible as they were shown to be in the parking lot already in a previous scene, with Andy watching as well. (00:18:38)

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.
