The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1

Audio problem: As Snowy chews through the ropes keeping Tintin tied up, Tintin removes them and then says to Snowy "We've got to find a way off this ship. We've stumbled into a real hornet's nest, here." Snowy then replies with a bark, but his mouth is completely sealed shut and there is a rope in his mouth. For Snowy's bark to be possible, his mouth would had to have been open. (00:13:15)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1

Audio problem: After Tintin has removed the Crabe Extra tin from Snowy's nose, they continue to walk to Thomson and Thompson's office and Tintin is shown chucking the Crabe Extra tin in the bin. The sound of the tin actually hitting the bin is not heard, but the sound of the tin settling in the bin is heard anyway. (00:03:15)

The Black Island: Part 2 - S1-E11

Audio problem: The first shot after the "previously" shows the burned down club. A further two shots after this shows Snowy growling at Mueller and his partner in crime. His mouth never moves when he does this. A growl like that would require his mouth to open at least a good few inches. (00:25:25)

The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Audio problem: Tintin is shown tying Mueller and his partner in crime to a tree with a cable. After he finishes saying "This old cable should hold you for now", we can see his mouth move as if he is speaking before he goes onto the next sentence even though he isn't actually saying anything.

The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Audio problem: After Mueller's assistant gets knocked out by stepping on a rake, Tintin looks at Mueller and says "That was close". Look at his mouth when he says this. His mouth opens but as he says the line, his mouth doesn't continue to move along with the line. (00:20:40)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 2 - S1-E2

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot. If you flip it the right way round, you will see on the right hand side of the article the word "Spielberg" on one of the lines, a reference to director Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)

King Ottokar's Sceptre: Part 2 - S2-E5

Question: When Tintin and the King discover King Ottokar's scepter had been stolen, both Hector and the guards are shown to have been knocked out. Later, Tintin points out that Hector had stolen the scepter by placing it in a camera, put it next to the window and shot it out of the window using the camera. If that's how Hector managed to get the scepter out of the building, then what was it that caused Hector and the guards to get knocked out? (00:33:10 - 00:35:50)

Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
