Season: Whole show  1  2  3  All

Across whole show

Episode: "Sex, Birth, Death": In the scene where the agents are called to the conference room and start talking about the case, the camera pans the room and shows a white board with information written on it. At the top of the board, in bold letters and asterisks around it, is the word MANDITORY. Was it MANDATORY for them to misspell this word? [No, it was a character mistake.]
Edit
In the episode 'Fisher King' we are told that an anlysis of the DNA from the hair sample held in the evidence bag shows it came from rebecca Bryant, the first victim of the serial killer they are hunting. Later we see a clear shot of the hair - it is a lock of hair, cleanly cut off and tied with a ribbon. There are no roots, which are the only parts of the hair which contain DNA - hair shafts do not. They would not be able to harvest DNA from this hair sample. [That's true, but they probably would have cut off that part and used to to get the DNA, the roots are small and they probably would have had to use it all, but they would still keep the hair it came from as the evidence.]

Episode date 4/11-"Among Thieves": Bad guys kidnap guy, cut off finger and ear to send to family. At show's end, kidnappee goes home with hand in bandage, but ear is reattached. [This is not true. Firstly, his hand is not bandaged, he just has the same white towel wrapped around his hand that the Russian Mob put there. Secondly, you can see that he is missing his left ear in every shot. There is a bloody outline of the rough shape of his ear where it was cut off.]

1-22 "The Fisher King" Part 1: Reid mentions to Garcia that schizophrenia is genetic; this, however, has never been proven. [In fact the matter is a subject of intense debate and many scientists believe that it is genetic, and will unhesitatingly say so. That is the case here.]
Edit
In season 4, episode 9 "52 Pickup", in the scene where Jordan is describing the case, the writers made a large error concerning the M.O. of the UnSub. Agent Jordan states that the UnSub makes his victims clean up their own murders, and they arranged the cleaning supplies in a triangular pattern. The cleaning supplies were bleach, ammonia and garbage bags. This would be excusable if she hadn't also added that both bleach and ammonia were found under the victim's fingernails. If you mix ammonia and bleach, it has the potential to create one of three very dangerous chemicals. One was used in WW1 (chlorine gas), and the other two are highly explosive (Nitrogen trichloride and hydrazine). However, all the victims died of exsanguination (blood loss). This isn't mentioned by Dr. Reid, who has a Ph.D in Chemistry. [It's not necessarily a mistake that Dr. Reid didn't mention the potentially dangerous chemical combinations; since the victims died of blood loss and not an effect of toxins, there was no reason to bring it up even though it would have fit his idiom as demonstrated in other episodes.]
Edit
In the episode 'Omnivore' the Reaper (acting as a police officer) asks for the driver's licence, registration and proof of insurance. This episode takes place in Massachusetts where proof of insurance is on the registration. Police only ask for licence and registration. [As you said in the entry, the Reaper was just ACTING as a police officer. Its entirely possible this wasn't known, as he may not have ever been pulled over.]

In "Children of the Dark" (3.4) Carrie is seen in the restaurant wearing flip-flops, but when she exits the house the next day, after she had been drugged by the invaders the same night, she is wearing white sneakers. Since she would have been unconscious all night and is obviously disoriented, its very unlikely she would take the time to put on socks and shoes to go for help. [There is a shot of Carrie wearing white socks as she was checking on her brother before she was drugged; add to that the fact that she was wearing only socks outside means there is no mistake here.]
