CSI: Miami

Point of Impact - S8-E8

Plot hole: The mother lets her daughter drive because she forgot her glasses inside the restaurant and cannot see to drive. This only makes sense as a means to move the plot forward because if she was still at the restaurant (which she would've had to be because she couldn't have driven elsewhere without her glasses) then she would've just gone back in to get them rather than let a 14 year old drive.

Show Stopper - S8-E12

Revealing mistake: When Phoenix bursts into flames on stage during her concert, the burn proof suit the stunt person is wearing (dressed as Phoenix) can be seen (her legs are very thick and her knees have deep wrinkles as well as the suit hem at her ankles can be seen).

Mommie Deadest - S8-E22

Other mistake: When Boa Vista and Wolfe find the blotch of red marker ink under the tape from the bat it's a solid big red blotch, they determine it was transfer from the killer's hand. Then they show Cody holding the bat and he only has a small red smear on his hand, not even close to the amount needed to leave that kind of stain on the tape.

Bone Voyage - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Horatio notices the Band-Aid on Nathan Cole's finger, and Dr. Ray asks if they can get a warrant, Horatio's position changes between shots from facing Ray directly then has rotated position about 90° and is looking at Ray over his shoulder. (00:29:35)

Miami, We Have a Problem - S8-E15

Factual error: Ryan is stated to have a BS in organic chemistry, working on his Masters in Genetics when we first meet him. When Travers tells him the shuttle was leaking oxygen, Ryan corrects him and says "air", to which Travers has to correct him. ANY gen chem student learns that "air" is a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, water, and a few other trace gases such as helium and methane. This is a pretty big blunder for someone who supposedly holds advanced degrees in Organic Chemistry and Genetics.

Chairman Meow

Delko for the Defense - S8-E11

Other mistake: Horatio: "Eric, the forensics expert cannot get cold feet." There was absolutely no reason for Eric to be nervous. IF he'd been a CSI all this time, he would be in court testifying about his evidence on a regular basis. CSIs ARE the forensics experts.

Season 1 generally

Question: In the last few episodes of series 1, Horatio tells a few people that they will be spending the next few years a jail. But sometimes he says a 6x6 cell and others a 6x9 cell. So I was wondering do the sizes of cells usually differ or was it just a slip of the tongue?

Answer: Yes, sizes of jails differ.
