Interesting observations, Kirk. One type of discontinuity that I always enjoy pointing out (in TAGS or anything else) is when the angle of one actor's head or the look on his face will be slightly different when the camera angle changes. So maybe Andy will have a slight smile on his face in one shot, but then a split second later when the angle changes, the smile has completely disappeared. They are always extremely minor shifts, but they stick out just enough to remind you that it's not real life.
I'll have to point out what I mean next time I see it. I do recall that one such inter-angle discontinuity occurs in "Barney's First Car" when the whole gang is outside the car just about to get in (but I can't remember what it is). -a deceitful wretch hiding out in Oxford, Ohio (the Nashville of the North) This is just some of the things I notice including the lack of continuum. > Like when Clara Edwards and Emma Watson have different names or when Barney > messes up his hair, but the next scene has his hair combed.
