The Blacklist plot hole: Season 5 flashback scene had key modern-day feature

When he sat down for breakfast with his wife, journalist Tom Brokaw reported on the fall of the Berlin Wall, which set the year at 1989.

Usually, during flashback scenes, the Blacklist will feature a title card with the year, however, this wasn’t the case in this episode.

The man’s wife let him know their daughters had already left for school; when his pager announced it was time for him to leave too.

During this scene, an eagle-eyed fan spotted a major error and exposed it on Movie Mistakes.
