NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service

Murder 2.0 - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When NCIS catches the killer, the way he holds a dead man's switch changes. In some shots, he holds it with all five fingers, and in others he holds it with his middle two fingers and thumb, with his index and pinkie fingers extended. (00:39:45)

Road Kill - S6-E10

Other mistake: When looking at the phone records, there are 4 calls that are highlighted as being made to the same number. Each call lasting exactly the same amount of time. Highly unlikely. (00:34:15)

Deliverance - S6-E15

Factual error: It is constantly mentioned that the number found at the crime scene is Gibbs' military service number. The Marine Corps stopped using service numbers on Jan. 1, 1972 and since has only used Social Security numbers for identification.

Bounce - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: Tony is just about to take a drink of his family's secret hangover remedy when Gibbs walks in and asks him where he was last night. First Tony is holding the glass with his left hand. He then switches to his right hand when he answers his boss. (00:02:15)

Dagger - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: When Tony and McGee are on stakeout at the coffee shop, McGee raises his coffee cup to his mouth and prepares to take a sip. The cup is then down by his chest and he raises it to his mouth again. (00:01:55)

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Character mistake: McGee seeks Director Vance's permission to hack into the Sea Hawk's computer system. He says that in the past four months, he hasn't worked any crime scenes, etc. This is incorrect, as near the start of the episode, he and Ziva go to an officer's home to advise his wife that he is missing. They discover her murdered and then the team, including McGee, are working the crime scene.

Cloak - S6-E8

Plot hole: Season 6, episode 8 ("Cloak"). When Ziva and Tony take the elevator two floors down this takes a full minute. When in a hurry for a call it speeds down, yet for this conversation it (conveniently) took a minute.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: That's because whenever they get a call, or use the lift we see them get in, then arrive where they are going in the next shot. Whenever we see inside the lift it is predominately when Gibbs stops the lift to have a private chat with someone.

Heartland - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: Episode "Heartland": In the first five minutes of the show, after the guys are beaten up in the alley, when the black guy is laid down on the ground there is a blood stain on The Wall, behind where he was standing. When the other guys go to the white guy's aid the blood stain is gone, for about 3-4 shots. When the NCIS team is there gathering evidence the blood is back on The Wall.

Yankee White - S1-E1

Gibbs: I heard you quit, Agent Todd.
Kate Todd: Happy news travels fast. Yes, I resigned. It was the right thing to do.
Gibbs: Yep. Pull that crap at NCIS, I won't give you a chance to resign.
Kate Todd: Is that a job offer?

Show generally

Question: I finally saw the 2-part episode from the show JAG. Does anyone know what happened to Viv Blackadder? I don't recall hearing anyone ever mention the name on NCIS.

Answer: I hadn't seen the backdoor pilots yet but while it wasn't explicitly stated, at least onscreen, I heard somewhere Vivian got either fired from NCIS due to jeopardizing a case, got resigned from the agency, or transferred to the FBI.

Raykvega423

Answer: I dont believe it is ever mentioned, but like most pilot episodes the characters are often changed, replaced or even removed in this case.
