Season 5 Trivia

  • Episode 11 - The dialogue used in the mock interrogations is almost an exact match for the writing of similar introductions to the interrogation process in the book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. Each speech is crafted from paragraphs in the book where David Simon illustrates the detective's method for getting so
  • Episode 01 - Goof (continuity error): At the hostage situation, a girl with both of her knees shot is loaded into an ambulance. Immediately after, the same girl is shown sitting at one of the medical tents - a difficult task when one is shot through both knees, never mind how she got out of the ambulance.
  • Episode 11 - Goof (continuity error): Many of the shots in Brodie's "documentary" are of scenes where Brodie (and therefore his camera) were not present.
  • Episode 20 - NBC promoted this at the end of the previous week's show under the title "Standoff".
  • Episode 21 - NBC promoted this at the end of the previous week's show under the title "Personal Vengeance".
