Revealing mistake: When Carter and Jo almost crash into the reflective smart dust wall on the road, Carter puts his hand up and waves it, to see his mirror image doing the same. Carter's mirror's hand movements are out of sync, which reveals that the "mirrors" are the actors, and the "real people" are doubles.
Eureka (2006)
1 revealing mistake in season 5
Starring: Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Colin Ferguson, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston
Other mistake: Captain Eureka losing his finger makes absolutely no sense. He doesn't cry out in pain, there's no blood, and where the finger ended up is completely illogical. The finger didn't just sever on its own; it's shown that severing only occurs when passing through objects. Captain Eureka goes through a wall that is a good fifteen feet away from where the finger is discovered, and it is implausible to think it could have rolled there on its own.
Marshall Jack Carter: Let's not shoot the crazy end-of-the-world machine just yet.
Trivia: In the final scene, as Jack and Zoe are heading out of Eureka, they pass their younger selves heading into Eureka. This scene is from the pilot episode where Zoe sees another version of her and her dad. However, in the pilot episode, the other (older) Jack and Zoe are in Jack's original car, not his Jeep, and other Zoe waves at them. I would call this a mistake, but I'm listing it as trivia because I know someone would say "after they came back from 1947, things changed so this changed too."
Question: I've been re-watching this show, and have noticed this in nearly every episode. In scenes inside GD, there's always one person, a background extra, who seems to have clear plastic wrap over their clothes. Do you know what that is all about?

Chosen answer: It's basically just a type of suit that's made for whatever special project they're working on. No different than a lab coat, hazmat suit, fire coat, etc.
