CSI: NY

Epilogue - S6-E1

Plot hole: When Sid and Hawks are telling mac that the piece of glass from the girls shoulder is from the window from bar, Sid tells Mac the scar shows it healed in the last month, but it's been established several times earlier in the episode that the bar shooting happened 3 months earlier.

Hostage - S4-E21

Other mistake: The body in the bank has one entry wound because the gun has no kickback, but in the flashback of the manager getting shot the shooter pushes the manager back then shoots him twice, the managers body moving alone would have causes the two bullets to enter at to different points.

The Closer - S1-E22

Character mistake: When Hawkes shows Mac, Danny, and Aiden a bruise on Gilbert Novotny's body, and tells them he was struck with a baseball, Danny refers to Gilbert as "George Novotny", like Stella did earlier in the episode. (00:28:15)

Reignited - S9-E1

Factual error: Towards the end, Eva Mason blows up Leonard Brooks' flat in an attempt to kill him, by heating up gas from the stove using an uncovered light bulb. This wouldn't work as shown as the filament from the bulb would burn out before igniting the gas - and besides, a spark from the light switch would have ignited it first.

The Lady in the Lake - S9-E6

Continuity mistake: The dead body of a girl is in the autopsy room. There is a closeup of her face on a TV monitor. Her hair is wet and tucked under her head and the v-shaped stitches on her torso are reddish in color. Next shot her hair is spread out and the stitches on her torso are blueish.

Vacation Getaway - S6-E23

Character mistake: In the scene in which Stella, Adam, and Hawkes are trying to get clues from the $1 bill left by Shane Casey at the bar, Stella notes that the Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum" has had its word order changed and now reads "E Unum Pluribus". From this, she deduces that the meaning has changed from 'from many, one" to "from one, many'. However, Latin is a highly inflected language, in which the meaning of a word changes not from its position in a sentence, but from the ending that is attached to the word. Therefore, both 'e pluribus unum' and 'e unum pluribus' mean exactly the same thing.

Flag on the Play - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Baldwin shows up at Sid's office near the end of the episode, Sid is viewing his computer with his hand on his chin in thought. When he looks up, his hand is on the table top. (00:38:50)

Chosen answer: Probably to broaden the scope of the show's plot and give the audience a chance to see the characters in a different setting, People act differently at home from the way they do at their workplace. By the ninth season, the characters would have become overly familiar and predictable. It gives the writers a chance to do something different with them.
