Restless - S9-E2

Continuity mistake: When the victim falls to the ground in the pre-title sequence his eyes are closed and a pool of blood spills onto the floor from his mouth. When Tony and Ziva are examining the body and taking photo's of the victim, his eyes are now open and the pool of blood is gone from by his mouth. (00:00:50 - 00:03:10)

Reveille - S1-E23

Factual error: Special Agent Gibbs asks McGee how long Medical School takes in the UK, to which he answers 4 years. This is incorrect, because almost all aspiring doctors in the UK go through the Undergraduate Medicine route (MBBCh) which takes 5 years. When McGee performs a search on the computer, he enters "Medical Post Graduate" in the search criteria, which would be unlikely in real life. (00:24:27)

Show generally

Question: I finally saw the 2-part episode from the show JAG. Does anyone know what happened to Viv Blackadder? I don't recall hearing anyone ever mention the name on NCIS.

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.

Answer: I dont believe it is ever mentioned, but like most pilot episodes the characters are often changed, replaced or even removed in this case.
