The Witch in the Wardrobe - S5-E20
Corrected entry: The firemen open the closet and find the witch skeleton... in a wooden closet in a totally burned down house? The wooden closet is completely unaffected by the fire.
Corrected entry: Everyone except Bones and Booth are curious over Dr. Tanaka's true gender identity, so Angela deliberately hugs Tanaka, then audibly 'informs' Hodgins, Saroyan, and Sweets standing 15 feet across at the doorway, that Tanaka is male, instead of discreetly informing them privately apart from Tanaka's presence.
Correction: Remember, when Hodgins asks Dr Tanaka about the microsil, Tanaka replies, "I believe your partly Chinese woman will be able to reconstruct the tool," then Angela walks in saying she heard Tanaka's comment. Nakamura quickly clarifies that Tanaka (who is Japanese) "means no offense" and did not mean for it to "sound so insulting" (00:31:05). At the end, Angela decides to take matters into her own hands so to speak, regarding Tanaka's physical gender. So considering Tanaka's earlier rude comment about her, and even more so, as well as Angela just being our Angela, after Angela hugs Tanaka she walks back over to her team and in a normal voice as usual Angela bluntly says, "It moved, he's a guy" (00:40:40). Angela very simply did not care if Tanaka would overhear this. This is not a "stupidity" or any other kind of mistake, whatsoever.
I would add, Angela is very outspoken through the show and has shown numerous times that she will just say whatever needs to be said rather than hide away from a topic. And if we disregard everything mentioned above, about Tanaka being rude, How is it a mistake that Angela says it out loud?
Yep, agree about Angela being outspoken, that's why I mentioned "as well as Angela just being our Angela" because yes, that's exactly her just being her :).
Tanaka wasn't rude, it was Angela who was rude and unprofessional about the former's identity. And absolutely makes it a mistake when it's a direct failure of professional protocol. One simply does not set out to embarrass a colleague by "proving" anything in a workplace, that could potentially set them up for harassment.
I'd stated that Angela (or the production) failed to use proper professional etiquette when she approached Tanaka to curiously clarify his/her gender, without any privacy of the room. So very much a mistake, considering even Bones would not have done such out of courtesy and respect to another professional. However, Angela did not care. So that was stupidity and or negligence on her part as a supposed forensics professional, in displaying such repugnant behavior. Very much a mistake.
Corrected entry: Bones and Booth arrive at the FBI after she has identified the body. The two argue about Booth's having a relationship. In the medium shot, Bones has her hair tucked behind her right ear. In long shots, it's not. (00:13:45)
The Bikini in the Soup - S6-E14
Corrected entry: At the very end when Brennen brings the machine guns to Booth at the shooting range, Brennen puts on ear protection, but Booth does not, and he starts shooting. This would never happen. Booth, as an FBI agent who frequents the range, knows that one rule of any shooting range is that you must wear ear protection.
Correction: There is no mistake. You can see he's wearing ear plugs when he's firing his pistol. He never takes them out, so there's no need to put them back in.
Corrected entry: Megan is wearing the exact same shirt in the picture that she is wearing when we see her in the room full of snakes. The photo must have been taken the same day they filmed.
Correction: I have pictures of me wearing the same shirt on different days. Just because she is wearing the same shirt from the picture doesn't make it a mistake.
The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - S5-E4
Corrected entry: When Cam is walking up the stairs to the forensic platform and she swipes her card she doesn't actually swipe the bar code through the scanner.
Correction: It has been mentioned that the cards work by NFC chips, not bar-codes to enter the platform area.
The Verdict in the Story - S3-E13
Corrected entry: While Bones is trying to convince Angela to testify, Angela refuses on the grounds that she does not want to be responsible for Bones' father being executed. Bones then states that whether her father gets executed will be up to a jury. However, Bones' father is being tried in the District of Columbia, and D.C. abolished the death penalty in 1957, so there could be no chance of him being executed at all. It can't simply be a character mistake, because they were present at the beginning of the trial, and if the death penalty were possible those present in court would have heard the judge instructing the jury about it. (00:21:35)
Correction: The case is being heard in the District Court of D.C., as this is a Federal Case due to Bones' father being accused of killing an FBI deputy director. Killing a federal law enforcement officer can carry the death penalty. Also, the judge would not instruct the jury on the death penalty during the merits phase of the trial. If convicted, then the judge would instruct the jury on the death penalty when charging the jury and delivering instructions prior to their deliberations as to sentence after the penalty phase was completed.
The Pain in the Heart - S3-E15
Corrected entry: When Bones storms into Booth's bathroom to confront him, the clock behind her right shoulder changes from 10:05 to 2:05.
Correction: Actually, there are 2 clocks on the wall, one set at 10:05 and the other at 2:05. They can both be seen in the same shot for several moments in the scene. It is not explained WHY they are set differently, but that is not relevant to the plot. (Time zones, perhaps).
Corrected entry: When we first see Megan in the room full of snakes, she is wearing black sneakers but in the close up of her feet and the subsequent shots she has on black ballet flats.
Correction: Megan always has the ballet slippers on, at no point is she wearing sneakers.
Corrected entry: At the end of the show, the chef give Brennan a plate of scallops with duck-fried rice. Brennan is a vegetarian, which she states on many shows, including episode 5-6, "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken"
Correction: In the episode "The Woman in Limbo" (which ran AFTER the episode in this entry) Bones state, "I think I just became a vegetarian." This is after she tests the device used to kill pigs that Vince McVicker uses to kill his victims.
Corrected entry: At the scene of the bomb attack, Booth introduces Bones to Department of Homeland Security agent Bennett Gibson. Bones met agent Gibson in a very dramatic way in the previous, pilot episode, where she threw him to the floor after Booth had asked him to detain Bones at the airport.
Correction: Perfectly reasonable explanation for this: the cabinet is made of metal. Listen, when they break the lock, you can hear the metal being struck, and the metallic squeak as the door opens. Dr. Brennan even states that the victim was stored in a steel wardrobe, and that protected the remains.
