Grey's Anatomy

Let It Be - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Meredith puts the Hello Kitty plaster on her forehead in her car, she puts it on upside-down. When she reaches the elevator it is now on the right way up (it is unlikely she would have removed it just to place it back on the right way up.) In addition when she is in the elevator, from shot to shot the position of her fringe (and how much of it covers the plaster) keeps changing. (00:01:50 - 00:02:55)

Flight - S8-E24

Continuity mistake: "Flight" (8-24): At the five minute mark, Meredith, wearing scrubs, frantically leaves Christina to go search for her missing husband, Derek. Yet when we see her again a few scenes later she is wearing a jacket.

Continuity mistake: At the very start of the episode when it shows Burke laying on the floor after being shot, there is a very large pool of blood with his glasses right next to the blood.

Hamster

Bring The Pain - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: You see Karev in the elevator with O'Malley putting on OR scrubs, in the next scene Karev isn't wearing his but a few shots later he is. Karev is wearing gloves, yet we don't see him putting them on.

Who's Zoomin' Who? - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Meredith takes over injecting George for Alex, and right after she stands behind George, Alex leaves. Just when he opens the door, suddenly you can see Alex is behind George and Meredith is just coming in again. (00:19:55 - 00:20:50)

Em Donovan

From A Whisper to a Scream - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: During the operation on the Asian girl from the market, a stitch breaks and Christina is covered with spurting blood, including all over her mask. When she turns to leave the OR, the all-over splatter on her mask has turned to dribble-like streaks instead.

(As We Know It) (Part II) - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Christina notices the bomb squad moving Meredith down the hallway with the gurney, she leaves the room and removes her scrub jacket and hands it to a nurse. When she is out in the hall and reaches them, she suddenly has the scrub jacket back on again. (00:18:50)

Hamster

Bring The Pain - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Derek talks with Mr. Chue in the rain under their umbrellas, in one shot Mr. Chue takes a big puff on his cigar. But in the next shot his face is relaxed and it is clear he didn't inhale; and then he takes the same puff again instantly anyway. (00:19:20)

Hamster

Make Me Lose Control - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: As Meredith tries to get in to see Christina, but Bailey walks over to stop her, Meredith is putting on a white surgical mask. In the frontal shot she ties the white straps of the mask into bows. But in the next shot from behind the straps hang loose and aren't in bows. (00:29:50)

Goodbye (2) - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: In episode 6-02, "Goodbye," in the scene where Izzy is getting chemo, the amount of popsicle that is bitten off on Meridith's pop changes from more to almost nothing from shot to shot.

Boobra

An Honest Mistake - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: Dr. Hunt brings a clear drink over to Christina. In the next shot, Christina takes a sip of the drink and it is dark. In the next shot, the drink is back on the table and it's clear again.

Dr. Meredith Grey: [About her roommates.] They're everywhere. All the time. Izzie's all perky and George does this thing where he's helpful and considerate. They share food and they say things, and they move things, and they breathe. Ugh. They're, like, happy
Dr. Cristina Yang: Kick them out.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I can't kick them out, they just moved in. I asked them to move in.
Dr. Cristina Yang: So what, you're just going to repress everything in some deep, dark, twisted place until one day you snap and you kill them?
