Glaring Episode 18 (VS) Mistake

chrisab508 · 06-03-2009, 04:26 PM

I'm sorry, but I can't believe that the producers of Prison Break would make as big an error as they did in episode 18, in fact I registered on these forums just to point it out. Mid-episode, all the characters are in Florida yet they follow Lincoln and Michael's mother to the Indian Embassy...Embassies are always located in the capital city of a country, that being Washington D.C. in the United States. There is no Indian embassy nor are there other embassies in Miami or any other city in the United States.

I don't remember much of season 4 , partly becasue I didn't start watching until almost the end. Could it have been a Consulate Office or building ? I can't say I recall the episode but are there Consulates in Florida ? I know there are in Texas and maybe Chicago.

I live in Chicago and there are most certainly consulates here. There are consulates in a lot of the biggest cities in the US. However, the sign on the gate in the episode (which I just watched) clearly said Embassy, and they refer to it as an embassy a few times throughout the episode.

They must have just gotten sloppy with the writing and maybe didn't care about the mistakes since it was so close to the series end.

or you could just assume that since its a tv show, they take some liberties with their writing. perhaps in the PB world, there is an Indian Enbassy in Miami.

Prison break make up things such as the fictional evil war starting Company, have a man breaking out of 2 Prisons then working for the government only to be shafted by an rogue agent, and a woman trying her best to frame her son (possibly plural) for a murder of a foreign official, and is then killed by her son's lover, and nobody questions its validity.
But an embassy appears in a non-capital city and people criticise.

:P

this made me laugh

kind of like all those people who complain that a scripted fictional show isn't real enough.
