Factual error: During the opening scenes, as the Visitor ships are approaching, an F-16 is shown crashing. As the wreckage flashes by Morris Chestnut, the word NAVY can be seen on the wreckage. The problem is that the F-16 is exclusively used by the US Air Force. The Navy does not utilize any variation of the fighter.

Dying Changes Everything - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when House is apologizing to Wilson, watch the bright spot on the TV frame on the wall behind House. In the long shots, the spot is right at the top left corner of the TV. In the close-up shots, the spot is closer to the middle. This is visible every time the shot changes from long to close-up. Light spots do not move depending on the position if the viewer. The only way a light spot changes is if the light source changes position or the reflecting surface changes position (try reflecting a flashlight beam off a mirror and then, leaving the flashlight and the mirror alone, move around. The reflected spot of light will not change position).

However there is another piece left on the ground.
