[Bandit LOAF]

Back in the era of hand drawn animation, storyboard artists and animators would refer to model sheets to make sure things were consistent. With each act of each episode boarded and animated separately, that was necessary to keep things looking right: Maverick always looks like Maverick, Scimitars always look like Scimitars and so on. But what about much more insignificant elements? To find out, I decided to look at how the Tiger's Claw's briefing room chairs stay consistent (or do not) from episode to episode! The chairs first appear in the second episode, The Last One Left. They're pretty consistent here: red backs with grey legs that swoop back.





The Most Delicate instrument has the correct chair design but the colors are different; here the legs are also red.





Lords of the Sky matches the original appearance!





… but they're totally different in Word of Honor: blue-grey instead of red.





The briefing room appears in Expendable but it starts a trend of not having the chairs at all. I guess they put them in the closet…





Chain of Command continues doing briefings without the chairs! But they do reappear when Blair meets with Admiral Bergstrom and the color looks right.





Walking Wounded has correct red chairs!





As does Recreation.





… but they're back to blue in On Both Your Houses.






But they're red in Price of Victory!







And again in the finale, Glory of Sivar.
