jeffrey told billy he never shot a gun before yet he shot down the red baron in the first episode and bog didnt seem to mind him manning the machine gun
shareYou are 100% correct. That is a very bad continuity error. I just bought the series on dvd and currently watching the episodes in chronological order and having recently seen those episodes what you say is true.
shareHe probably meant he never shot a hand gun before. As for Bogg minding, they were in a combat zone defending the free world. Jeffery no doubt saved more lives than he took.
Billy the Kid was an outlaw, murderer and ultimately a coward. Hardly a worthy role for young person.
Agreed. I don't see any "continuity error." How can one compare shooting an enemy in defensive of one's country to armed robbery of innocent civilians?
shareOf course it is a continuity error. He said he never shot a gun before. And yet he had. It doesn't matter what the reason is. You are trying to rationalise and psychoanalyse a script error. It still doesn't stop it from being a mistake.
shareI still agree with the OP. It is an error. He said he hadn't fired a gun when he had fired a gun. Not only are you wrong you have to use the holier than thou term "the free world". In the US during WW1 the armed forces were segregated according to race. At that time it in many states it was against the law for a black person to marry a white person. How is that free ?
The US was allied to Britain which had an enormous world empire where hundreds of millions of people in Africa, Asia and India lived under the colonial subjugation of British imperialists and had little or no say in the running of their own countries. How is this free ?
The British also had a starvation blockade against Germany which caused many civilian deaths -

The British government also used lies and subterfuge when dealing with the sinking of the Lusitania -

My bad then. Still, the world a great a deal after WW1, mostly for the better, in ways that would have been impossible with a German victory.
