I agree that all of the noted inconsistencies are bothersome, but I also choose to let them pass. There ARE a lot of writers for this show and only Paul Aitken has been with the show for all 10 seasons, as far as I know.
The answer to the issue would be to have us write the 'bible' .

The real problem with writing a 'bible' is that inconsistencies only show up after the fact when the info is needed during the writing phase. All we would end up writing is a book of bloopers.

Not sure it would be bloopers so much as the original take on the subject. We would have to start at the beginning and take note of anything significant and when we came across a contradiction ignore it. It's too late now though, this needed to be done at the beginnjng.

Exactly. It still could be a fun excercise though.

Well, I'd be in. I think it's fun. Here, found another one (this one actually bothers me a bit, because it's a historical stretch): in Cometh the Archer, when Julia sets out with her bow and arrows to rescue William, she proceeds to inject herself with some opiate (presumably) to control the pain. She does that, however, with a syringe that came from the future, as it's (clearly) a BD YALE hypodermic, first patented in the US in 1932. Ugh. I guess it would have been too cumbersome for her to inject herself with the clumsy huge syringe of the time, the one with a big handle at the end of the piston (she has one in Convalescence, when she gives William Hg to prevent infection).

Actually, I hope your enjoyment of that episode will increase knowing that Becton Dickinson sold their first all-glass syringe in 1897. bd.com/aboutbd/history/

Does anyone know the name of the opera piece at the start of Cometh the Archer?
