Bones (2005) - 8 mistakes in whole show

Continuity: Episode 4-19, "The Cinderella in the Cardboard": When Daisy convinces Sweets that she's not cheating on him, her arms move back and forth from his shoulders to around his neck.

Character mistake: Episode 5.07, "Dwarf in the Dirt" - Over lunch with Doctor/Chef Gordon Wyatt, Angela says he'd have to dislocate his jaw like "an articulated python" in order to bite into his sandwich. The snake is actually called a reticulated python.

Factual error: In the season 5 episode, "Night at the Bones Museum", Hodges says that natron was a naturally drying agent, which was used in the second century B.C. This is both wrong and right. While it is true that natron was used for mummification, it was used for thousands of years in Egyptian culture, not just the second century B.C.

Factual error: In the season 5 episode titled "Night at the Bones Museum", Hodges makes a remark about the mummy wrappings being for an important person because it is a diamond weave pattern. However, the diamond weave pattern didn't come into effect until the Greco-Roman period that began at 332 B.C. It certainly wouldn't be found in an 18th dynasty mummy, no matter how important he was.

Plot hole: At first the victim (Careful Lionel) is described as not returning to pick up his new shirt in November 1958, and possessing love letters dated from 1957 through early winter (November) 1958. Booth reports the fallout shelter where Lionel's body was discovered was sealed in 1958. Later Lionel is described as reported missing by his boss in January 1960, and the illegitimate child he fathered was born in 1960 as well. That would mean his boss didn't notice he was gone for over a year, and his pregnant girlfriend was with child for at least 14 months.

Continuity: In the episode "The Man in the Fallout Shelter," Hodgins is talking to Bones and says something about Goodman not being able to see his family and Zach not being able to see his kids. Goodman has kids, Zach was going to visit his family, not the other way around.

Continuity: Episode 4-18, "The Science in the Physicist": when Bones and Booth get trapped in the resonance chamber, the position of Booth's hands over his ears changes back and forth between shots.

Continuity: Season 5, Ep 1: Bones is stabbed in the arm by the doctor she is pursuing. There is so much blood that Booth is covered in blood when he is in his office. Later in the episode Bones has a short sleeve top on and has no bandage, plaster or sign of a cut.
