I hope you don't watch 24 - then you'd be having a field day nitpicking at their inconsistencies and their use of computers etc. Even the latest fringe had a "secure FTP" scene, where it was displaying images and all this techy looking screen when a FTP looks nothing like that. I just take it with a pinch of salt.

As for the filming goofs, like the bracelet or the coke, it happens with everything and even hollywood films have goofs in them. It's just part and parcel of filming and I guess more likely to happen on a TV show than film as I imagine they spend less time of each scene and do less takes.

yeah go to moviemistakes.com and have a field day with all of the problems listed. Every show has problems with editing. No way to prevent it unless everything was done in chronological order and in one take. So the minor issues should be ignored or noticed for fun (ie in Heroes, Hiro runs on the roof the second time to stop a guy from jumping and a smudge on his cheek disappears and then reappears). Major plot holes though are a different story.

I am quite enjoying this, but i'm slightly worried that its one they may cancel and never give us an ending!

Well as far as I know, the first week's ratings were pretty good and it's been holding unto it's audience for the past 2 weeks now. Didn't it get like a 7 with a 10 share the first week or something? (I'm just pulling numbers out of my butt, I don't remember them exactly)

And lets not mention the window scene in London in episode 1, where you can see the tower of London, Big Ben and the London Eye through one window. I've lived in London for nearly 40 years, that's just BS! And considering Alex Kingston (a British actress) was in that shot, surely she could have consulted somewhat. I realize the film makers wanted to convey to the average dumb American that this was taking place in a different country but please, give the American public some credit.

It's not the Tower of London in the background, it's part of Westminster Abbey, so you would see both that, big ben and the london eye if you were sitting on the north side of the river and facing the london eye.

Yeah, not to mention as an "average dumb American" I was pretty sure that was taking place in London without ever looking at the background skyline. (Though that was pretty obviously part of Westminster Abbey as Brodel mentioned)

I'm pretty sure they simply did that to nail down that it was an important scene and not some throwaway thing that they will forget about 4 episodes in (I hope not anyways, I WUB Alex Kingston).

More problems with the show...

I just watched episode 3 again and noticed the following:

Glass is Never Half Full

In the scene where Penelope is having lunch with that black woman (the head FBI's wife), look at her glass at the beginning of the scene. At the beginning, it's about 10% full with a dark liquid, which looks like coke. In a few moments later (about 30 seconds in to the scene), her glass in now full with a yellow (urine) coloured drink. Weird!

Das English Buch

It's very unlikely that a prison in south Germany would have English books in it's library. How do I know the Bird book was in English? Well, Penelope's husband was reading it aloud in the penultimate scene of the episode.

Who cares?

Murder Population

In the above mentioned scene the cute FBI chick pulls up data of the crow population. The data shows a shizzle load of crows had died on the day of the blackout, which in the episode is about 4 or 5 days ago. However, the graph shows data that exceeds in to the next few months! WTF?

Ever heard of projections?

Department of Homeland Insecurity

Again, in the above scene, the hot FBI chick looks up some record of CDC requesting funds from HLS to investigate the sudden death of the murders (collection of crows) and the then blackouts of the human population in that area. This report was dated 1991. However, as we all (wise people) know HLS didn't have a name until September 8th, 2001.

I mean, come on, these are rookie mistakes.

Yup, I noticed that too.

However, your date is quite obviously wrong. DHS wasn't created until after 9/11.

And lets not mention the window scene in London in episode 1, where you can see the tower of London, Big Ben and the London Eye through one window. I've lived in London for nearly 40 years, that's just BS! And considering Alex Kingston (a British actress) was in that shot, surely she could have consulted somewhat. I realize the film makers wanted to convey to the average dumb American that this was taking place in a different country but please, give the American public some credit.

You've already been corrected on this.

Anyway, Agent Kno is going to survive his murder, since he knows how he is going to die, by making sure he wears a bulletproof vest on that day.

Today's episode was really boring.

Also, I found 2 more mistakes:

1) The "Hot blond" is not hot, not at all!

2) And since she's been in custody since the balcouts, she would not have had internet access, so how did she know the details of what Sulu posted?

Also, if Penelope **really** want's to change the future, rather than trying to move the young boy to a diffenret department, she should have quit her job.

Neither of those are mistakes.

(1) That is a matter of opinion, can't be a mistake.

(2) There are some jurisdictions that give inmates access to the internet. I can't say whether or not the FBI does, but I know someone that I went to high school with who is incarcerated and he has access to the internet once a week for something like thirty-minutes I believe. That is a local jurisdiction, so again, the FBI may be different, but still a possibility.

And you act as if Dr. Olivia Benford (or Dr. B ;) ) has an easy choice. Seriously? You think quitting is an easy choice? She's a doctor for crying out loud, it isn't as if she'd find a new job like that. She has a family to help support too.

I'm not sure if I can take this show seriously.

The stupid continuous music montages. This week wasn't as bad as last week, but come on. Way to make dramatic moments a complete joke.

What is up with that dialogue at the end? Let me throw in the sinister evil laugh with it.

So how does the little girl know about DB Gibbons and the little boy? That would mean that both the little autism boy and DB Gibbons would have to be with the little girl. And how would she know he was a bad man? Im guessing the the boy's dad is Gibbons but in his FF (at least from the doctors FF) is just sitting around. I like this show but its already ****ed up.

I agree Rappy was pretty good, I also agree the show is kinda weird in how they do stuff. Its like they are making some rookie mistakes with it.

As Mudslag said, how in the heck does the little girl know DB Gibbins is a bad man and know A LOT about them. I mean she seen two minutes and 17 seconds, I can understand how she knows the little boy, maybe they were in the room playing together or something, but she acts as though she has KNOWN him forever screaming and yelling that he is hurt, etc.. Just doesn't fit.

for number 2, she said that everyone there knew about it. she didn't need an internet connection to know.

i think that she saw d gibbins drowning her babysitter. the little boy was with her and she knew that they were friends the same way her mom knew she had lots of feelings for the other guy.
