Bloopers

Face it writers make mistakes.  You have several different writers writing for
one series and no one is keeping notes back then on the fictional timeline so
mistakes will happen.  You see it in other things.  Ian Fleming had two big ones
in Dr. No I can recall.  One:  saying the reason to replace Bond's Beretta .25
with was it had jamed.  In From Russia with Love Bond had the Beretta with the
silencer on it in his waistband and it hung up when he tried to draw it to shoot
Rosa Klebb so it didn't jam.  And the other is saying the other gun beside the
PPK he is being issued is the Smith and Wesson Centenial Airweight.  The gun
that that Fleming describes is not a Centenial Airweight but the .357 magnum
which was what Geoffrey Boothroyd was push for Bond to use full time. Fleming
got the names mixed up.  I saw this happen in a episode of NCIS.  Tony
identifies a gun as being a Smith & Wesson .32 Kit just like Boggie used in The
Big Sleep.  Thing is there is no such gun a a Smith & Wesson .32 Kit.  They did
make a .22/.32 Kit gun but never a .32 one.  And the gun Bogart used as Philip
Marlowe as actually a .38 Colt Police Possitive.  Which is also two more
mistakes as the gun Marlowe used in the book is actually a .38 Smith and Wesson 
Model 10 Military and Police model with the long barrel.
    Sorry got off UFO but you see writers do forget things and so bloopers
happen.

Hi James,
 
oh yes, I agree with you, mistakes (bloopers) do happen!

The point is discerning real bloopers from mistakenly called so ones.

That still leaves enough real bloopers in UFO ;-)
