Other mistake: When McGee tells Gibbs that Nelson erased his entire hard drive, the camera shows the diagnostic he is running - "Primary Drive Erased: 100%." Yet the details below show 93GB used of 111GB total, and the drive letter is G: (not C: as it would most likely be.) It could be argued that his C: drive is simply an OS drive, and G: is his data drive, but still, 93GB used is not 'erased'. (00:22:05)
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)
Revealing mistake: At the start, when the brain is being passed around you can see a fixed tube connecting to the student's arm to presumably pump the mercury into his hand. (00:01:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Tony is pacing after they find out Kamal's identity, there is a green tape marker visible on the floor. (00:32:00)
Visible crew/equipment: Just as the blonde asks if she's needed to ID another photo, there is an overhead shot that includes the camera trolley wheel. (00:35:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Ducky comes in explaining how the victim has one more thing to say, a red tape marker is visible on the floor. (00:37:05)
Continuity mistake: 5-4: Identity Crisis. When Ziva is speaking with McGee her lapel changes from being turned up and laying down.
Continuity mistake: When Abby tells McGee that the suspect has a gun, there is an overhead shot of the top of the building and the brown car is at least 4 spaces away from it. When Abby is watching the report on TV and says "damn you Gibbs", the car is next to the building. (00:04:00 - 00:05:00)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs is trying to talk Lt. Arnett out of jumping off the ledge, Gibbs is relatively close to Arnett in the middle of The Wall when Ducky and Abby watch the live news report, but in real time, Gibbs is over at the far left corner of The Wall. (00:04:10 - 00:05:00)
Visible crew/equipment: After Gibbs tells his team to go to Arnett's apartment, Ziva shares her opinion that Tony is more afraid of heights than Probalicious, then as McGee walks away some chalk T-marks are visible on the ground. (00:08:05)
Visible crew/equipment: Tony closes the mirror in Michael's apartment, when he does a camera is briefly in shot. (00:09:15)
Continuity mistake: When the CO opens the drawer of Michael's personal effects, the items change place or change entirely between shots. For example a book appears. (00:13:05)
Character mistake: We see McGee searching on his computer and the phrase "violaters will be prosecuted" is seen below the search bar. The word violators is misspelled. (00:14:50)
Chosen answer: "Policing your brass", means to pick up your expended shell casings, after firing your rifle, or pistol.
