Grey's Anatomy

No Man's Land - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Derek is explaining to his patient about the risks of the brain surgery operation, Derek's hands move from his coat pockets to up near his chest, and back to his pockets. (00:30:40)

Cubs Fan

Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: When Derek is talking to Meredith on the hospital balcony and they are eating a sandwich each, in one shot Derek is taking a bite from his sandwich, then in the next shot he is suddenly holding it down at waist level. He then raises it to take another bite and you can see the previous bite has gone and the sandwich is whole again. (00:21:55)

Hamster

Begin the Begin - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Just before George withdraws some blood from Bex's arm, her right sleeve is rolled up when Addison is beside her talking. In the next shot as Bex is drawing, the sleeve is suddenly rolled back down and George pulls it back up again to get some blood.

Hamster

Let It Be - S2-E8

Audio problem: When Derek shouts over the second floor banister to Weiss, Weiss walks over to the staircase and says "Derek, I've been looking for you," yet his mouth doesn't move. (00:05:40)

Hamster

Let It Be - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Christina removes the beak from Stu's leg and has it on the end of a pair of tweezers, she shows it to George so that it is pointed at him. In the very next shot the beak it pointed at her. (00:08:20)

Hamster

Bring The Pain - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Alex and George are trying to get out of the elevator that they are stuck in, watch the monitor screen attached to the gunshot victim. The lines on the monitor keep instantly changing appearance (from straight, to jagged, and then back, etc.), especially the middle blue line. (00:13:05)

Hamster

Bring The Pain - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Meredith, Christina and Izzy are standing by the hospital hall balcony talking, the nurse, doctor and patient extras walking and passing in the background are inconsistent from shot to shot. In addition, the position of the three ladies arms / hands on the banister keeps changing during this scene. (00:12:35)

Hamster

Deny, Deny, Deny - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Alex walks over to the desk that Derek is sitting behind, with the couple arguing in the background, there is a box of tissues with a tissue pulled so that it is almost out. In the next shot the tissue is barely out of the box. (00:26:20)

Hamster

How to Save a Life - S11-E21

Other mistake: The exact same shot of Derek's radio tuner is used twice-once when he calls Amelia and again when he gets in the car after helping at the accident. Both times, the clock says 7:45PM, but Alana (the AP class taking, cello playing student) says that she's supposed to be at school, implying it's sometime between 8AM-ish and 3PM-ish. Also, the sun sets around 7:30PM in Seattle on March 26, but it is obviously day time for the duration of this scene so there's no way it could be 7:45PM in either of the shots in which the clock is shown. (00:03:30 - 00:18:40)

I'm Winning - S10-E19

Other mistake: When Derek has finished showing Callie and Arizona the picture of Cristina getting her nomination, he leaves to take the kids into what we are supposed to believe is daycare...however the sign on the door reveals it is a dispensary. (00:02:30)

Owner of a Lonely Heart - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: In the NICU, when George starts boasting that he has the best quint, in the overhead wideshot we can see the T-mark (greenish yellow) on the floor near Kate, moments before Karev walks in and stands there. It's visible again just as Karev walks away. (00:01:05)

Super Grover

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?
