Once a Hero - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: When Ducky and Gibbs are in the morgue examining the body of the girl found in the hotel, the camera cuts for a few seconds to the girl lying on the slab. During that shot, you can see her neck moving to her pulse (just after Ducky says, "There's some bruising on the sternum"). (00:19:10)

In the Dark - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: When Tony is telling Gibbs & Ducky that Abby got a hit on the dead sailor's fingerprints, Gibbs takes the file from Tony; the camera shows the file, which appears to be a legitimate profile sheet, but in the comments section, is the script that Tony just read aloud. (00:07:36)

Family - S5-E2

Revealing mistake: Part 1 - As Tony eats his donut, and spills the jelly on his shirt, it's clear that (the actor) is moving his body to make that 'accident' happen as scripted. As the jelly begins to leak out, he doesn't move; because it doesn't fall as expected, he jerks suddenly, to make the jelly fall on his shirt. He stops moving, 'shocked' at this, holding the donut with both hands. Part 2 - The camera angle changes to 'behind' him, and he is only holding the donut with one hand. Part 3 - He then grabs at a napkin (just out of frame) to clean it off; the camera cuts to Ziva briefly, then back to Tony, who does not have any napkin. (00:24:55)

Chimera - S5-E6

Revealing mistake: In a close up of the iPod there is 1 song on the play list, playing at the 29 second mark. However, the icon to indicate that the iPod is on repeat is missing. Therefore, the iPod has only been playing for 29 seconds, despite the fact the crew left a good time before the team arrived. (00:07:20)

Stakeout - S5-E12

Revealing mistake: When the body is found there is a pool of blood near the head, with blood running down his head. However, the pool of blood is away from the head and not touching it as would be expected. (00:07:30)

Murder 2.0 - S6-E6

Revealing mistake: When the NCIS team were directed to the first video, McGee states that they were the first to view the video, however, the view counter on the video said 531,817 views. (00:06:40 - 00:07:15)

South by Southwest - S6-E17

Revealing mistake: At the crime scene we see Gibbs making notes on his notepad prior to Ducky calling him over. When he's looking at the business card you can see his notes in his notepad. However his notes are all just random lines and squiggles. It's not the case that he's made notes for himself in his own writing style. (00:04:00)

Factual error: Air Force One landed in Wichita, Kansas. The local coroner claimed Jurisdiction for Wichita County. The city of Wichita, Kansas is in Sedgwick County, in southern Kansas. Wichita County, Kansas is in western Kansas, about 250 miles from the city of Wichita. (00:05:40)
