Tom Price is hunting and fires off his shotgun at his latest airborne target

Where are we?: Eager to find supplies to 'trade for favours' from Abby, Tom Price is hunting in the woods. He fires off his shotgun at his latest airborne target.

What's the goof?: Although the film cameras used on Survivors were seemingly immune to the problem, the discharge of a prop-gun too close to an OB-video camera here causes interference lines, that could not be corrected prior to transmission.
