Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (factual errors): Artie credits the invention of the television to "Philo Farnsworth" in around 1929. He didn't invent television, but refined the electronic processing and production of pictures on a cathode ray tube. The communicators named after him in the show are not thick enough to use cathode ray technology.
Goof (revealing mistake): When the SUV rolls over, a small explosion can be seen which propels the SUV into the roll.
Goof (continuity error): When Myka helps Pete out of the SUV after the accident Pete's shirt has blood clearly visible on the lower left side (viewer's right). After Pete is on the ground sitting the shirt is clean. When they next show him, the blood is back.
Goof (factual errors): When Myka is explaining who Lucrezia Borgia is, she says the Borgias ruled in the 1600s. However, Lucrezia Borgia was born in the late 1400s and died in the early 1500s.
