Out of the Frying Pan - S8-E18
Continuity mistake: Vance slams the axe on the table and through a picture of the victim. However, when Vance removes the axe a minute later, the axe is through a different part of the picture. The 1st time the axe goes through the neck/shoulders of the man in the picture but when removed it's in the forehead. (00:29:50)
Out of the Frying Pan - S8-E18
Continuity mistake: The way the axe faces when Leon leans it against The Wall changes between shots. Sometimes it's facing left, others it's facing right. (00:28:00)
Visible crew/equipment: After Tony says the line "What would Steve McQueen do?" we get an extreme closeup of the front bumper of a car with Virginia plates on it. Just to the screen right of the plate, you can see the reflection of some of the filming rig used for the shot. (00:31:50)
Continuity mistake: When The DA comes into NCIS after confronting Gibbs at his house, Ziva's action's in the background are constantly changing between cuts. (00:23:40)
Continuity mistake: When Ziva is photographing the bedroom she has the camera raised to her eye in one shot and lowered in the next when the DA asks about DiNozzo. (00:05:40)
Broken Arrow - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: The position of the mobile phone on the victim changes from when we see the Admiral discovering the body and NCIS taking the photos. (00:02:40)
Broken Arrow - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: At the start, the way Ziva holds her passport differs when McGee asks to have a look at it. Note her middle finger is on the back of the passport and visible at the top in the middle. However, from behind, her hand is not on the back of the passport. (00:01:50)
Broken Arrow - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: At the end, DiNozzo Sr.'s hat changes position on the table while talking to Tony Jr. (00:38:20)
Broken Arrow - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: When Ziva is speaking about the Swiss court case, she has her hands clasped in front of her and is either pointing or not pointing depending on the shot. (00:28:10)
Broken Arrow - S8-E7
Factual error: Ziva shows McGee her passport including her passport photo. In the photo she is smiling broadly. Regulations state that a passport photo must be a neutral facial expression. This photo would have been rejected. (00:01:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Ziva and Gibbs are searching the changing rooms, the camera crew are reflected in The Wall mirrors. (00:12:50)
Continuity mistake: At the start, the disk falls out the paper and the case is touching the door mat. When the shot changes to a close up of the case being picked up, the case is no longer touching the mat. (00:01:05)
Continuity mistake: Ziva is photographing the scene and takes a picture of the empty DVD player with a yellow evidence marker number 5 on top of it, Gibbs is then seen with the same marker in his hand before placing it on the DVD player. (00:04:40)
Short Fuse - S8-E3
Continuity mistake: When the bomb timer is discovered, Dempsey is stood next to the bomb as seen on Monitor 1 of the control room. The camera pans across, past monitor 2 and onto Monitor 3 which is still the same room but a different angle. On Monitor 3, Dempsey is now around 3-4ft away from the bomb. (00:14:00)
Short Fuse - S8-E3
Continuity mistake: When Gary's wife is talking to Fornell and Gibbs, she either has her hand on the rake handle or lowered depending on the shot. (00:24:30)
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.
