Grey's Anatomy

Make Me Lose Control - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Meredith tries to get into the OR to see Cristina, Bailey walks over to the door to stop her, and they talk. But in the final shot of Christina, you can see Bailey's hands on her head, even though Bailey is at the door with Meredith. (00:30:00)

Owner of a Lonely Heart - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Christina is in the locker room eating a packet of crisps, everyone comes in and she asks them if they have any decent food. In the next shot you can see she is now holding an opened bar of chocolate. Then in the following shot we actually see Meredith hand her a wrapped bar, which Christina then opens (and the previously opened bar is gone, of course.) (00:03:40)

Hamster

Let It Be - S2-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When the pigeon starts eating George's bagel which he dropped on the pavement, you can clearly see a red clasp with a long wire attached to its left leg so that it won't fly away. (00:03:25)

Hamster

Let It Be - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when George drops his bagel, he drops it with the white napkin stuck to it. In the very next shot when the pigeon begins to eat it, the napkin has totally vanished. (00:03:20)

Hamster

Owner of a Lonely Heart - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Olivia walks into an elevator with Izzy already inside and they go up 3 floors. When Izzy leaves the elevator, it's the same floor from which Olivia came (same equipment and decor).

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

Continuity mistake: The scene where the bomb explodes shows the bomb squad captain walking toward the end of a hallway. Just as the bomb explodes you can see he is about 5-6 feet away from the end of the hallway where another bomb squad tech is waiting. After the explosion the scene cuts to Meredith flying backwards then to a shot of windows being blown out then back to a rear shot of Meredith hitting the floor. Notice here that a second floor is not visible at the end of the hallway. The scene finishes with a final aftermath shot of the hallway as the debris settles. Here we see an entirely different hallway with a visible second floor and the end of the hallway extended by about 10 feet.

Viperkun

Something to Talk About - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Nurse Debbie gives Christina all the patient files, the 'explosive diarrhoea' file that she puts at the very top of the pile disappears in the next shot and then reappears in the next shot, but turned the other way round. (00:14:40)

Make Me Lose Control - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Derek sits in the rocking chair in the room with the premature baby and then Addison starts listing their relationship options, the blanket hanging over the back of the rocking chair constantly changes position, evident by the green stripes on it. (00:31:50)

Make Me Lose Control - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: We see a nurse writing down "Yang, C" on the assignments board; note the handwriting. Later, when Burke notices that Christina's name is on the board, the handwriting of "Yang, C" is completely different and other minor writing differences are noticeable too. (00:27:55 - 00:33:45)

Hamster

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)

Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response - S2-E27

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. But in the next shot there is no pool of blood anymore but it returns in the next. Additionally, the pair of glasses change position. (00:00:05)

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.

Superstition - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When everyone is in the locker room nearing the end of the episode Alex starts to shout at George. As he does, George removes his white coat twice between shots. (00:37:20)

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?
