Visible crew/equipment: During the exterior scenes in Arizona, with Sheriff Boyd, Gibbs, and Tony, in some shots either a hidden lavalier microphone or transmitter is visible. One example, when Dina fires her weapon Gibbs dismounts his horse, and his hidden transmitter is briefly seen at his back. Another example, while Dina tells Gibbs and Tony that her doctor ran blood tests, Sheriff Boyd's mic is visible under his shirt by the buttons, and so on. (00:35:30)
Visible crew/equipment: When Gibbs informs Dina Risi of Patterson's death, it then cuts to Dina as she tells them she mixes her own pigments, and in the next shot facing Dina, the wheel base of filming equipment is visible on the right side of the screen (non-existent in overhead long shots). (00:36:05)
Visible crew/equipment: At the very start, when the NCIS agent stops at the mail box, there is a reflection of someone moving once he has stopped. There is no-one else in the area, meaning it's one of the crew. (00:00:05)
Continuity mistake: The bullet holes in the victim when he is in autopsy are different to when he was shot. (00:03:00 - 00:10:50)
Revealing mistake: At the crime scene we see Gibbs making notes on his notepad prior to Ducky calling him over. When he's looking at the business card you can see his notes in his notepad. However his notes are all just random lines and squiggles. It's not the case that he's made notes for himself in his own writing style. (00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: 6.17 - South by Southwest. The first time Tony is talking on the phone to London about his uncle's estate, he is alternately either talking on his cellphone or office phone throughout the conversation. (00:06:15)
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.
