Overkill - S2-E23

Audio problem: When Demming writes "Stolen books" on the white board and says, "Killed for a fortune in stolen books, so I'll run the work crews and see if anybody has priors", his lips don't match what he's saying at all.

Tick, Tick, Tick ... - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: After Special Agent Shaw tells Beckett to go home when they believe a murder took place in a multi-story car park, Beckett touches her hair with her right hand. She is wearing gloves on both of her hands when she does this. In the shot immediately afterwards however, her right hand is bare and she is holding the glove in her left hand.

A Rose for Everafter - S2-E12

Plot hole: When Ryan asks Beckett where Castle is, Beckett says something like "I don't know. I thought that the death of a bridesmaid would be right up his alley." and Ryan replies "Probably heard the word "wedding" and got cold feet." Only problem is, how could Castle have known that? He was duct-taped to a chair at the time Beckett called and couldn't answer the phone. We see Beckett right after he falls on the table and we don't see her leaving a voice mail or send a text message so he couldn't have known, especially since he asked "So, bridesmaid huh?"

Suggested correction: Beckett probably left a voice message for Castle (something along the lines of "murder of a bridesmaid at a wedding", etc.) and wouldn't have known that Castle hadn't heard it by then.

A Rose for Everafter - S2-E12

Plot hole: The security camera images of Castle kissing Kyra on the roof are completely inexplicable. The angle at which the images are taken are near enough identical to the angles at which the rooftop scene were shot. There were no pillars, poles or high walls for a security camera to be attached to at those particular angles, and certainly nowhere a photographer could hide, so where did the images come from?

Suggested correction: Beckett had Kyra followed, because she was a suspect. The photos were taken by the person following her.

Vampire Weekend - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Castle gets back from helping Alexis with her friend and thanks Beckett for taking care of Fagan (Alexis' egg), just after her line, "Yeah well, he was easy. He didn't even fuss when I put him to bed", Ryan and Esposito come in and Ryan is holding a missing persons poster of Elizabeth McGinty. As soon as they walk in, Ryan is holding the poster with the front facing the camera. But two shots later he is holding it with the back facing the camera.

Sucker Punch - S2-E13

Character mistake: In the scene where Castle and Kate are being told that the victim's SIM card is broken and the last two digits of the phone number are missing, Castle says that they have 99 possibilities, which mathematically is wrong. Obviously the writer didn't count the combination 00. The correct number of possibilities is 100. (00:08:40)

Fool Me Once - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Beckett goes to the bathroom to read Castle's book and Castle peers over the top of the cubical to tell her what page the sex scene is on, she is holding the book with her fingers between the pages dividing the book into 2 sections. These 2 sections switch to 3 and then back to 2 between shots.

One Man's Treasure - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Beckett, Castle and Capt. Montgomery are walking through the precinct, after Castle and Beckett checked on Alexis as she had been categorizing personal belongings, and Castle is talking about how he watched Alexis from the bushes the first day of preschool; Montgomery states he followed his son's bus all the way to the Adirondacks. In the final episode of season 3, Montgomery had his two daughters, and wife at his funeral. There was no son.

Vampire Weekend - S2-E6

Audio problem: When Beckett is talking to Matthew's family about his "personal ghost," as his sister put it. About half-way through her line, "I showed some of Matthew's drawings to one of our therapists and he said it looked like he might have witnessed something disturbing, seen something very violent", there is a shot from behind Beckett facing Matthew's parents. In this shot, Beckett's lips don't match what she is saying.

THGhost

Kill the Messenger - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when the rider is knocked off his bike by the car, the bike ends up under the front wheel of the car. When the perpetrator drives off, the bike is some distance away from the car.

Ken H.

Sucker Punch - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: When Kate gets the info that the killer is the same one who killed her mother, the back of her shirt is shown twice, revealing each time that it is fixed with needles to fit perfectly.

Reality Star Struck - S5-E14

Question: Before this episode, there was a Christmas episode "Secret Santa" and then there was "Significant Others" with Meredith showing up to take care of Alexis. In that episode, Beckett mentions choosing the movie Valentine's Day for a date night, causing her to lose a turn. In this episode, Castle and Beckett are celebrating their first Valentine's Day together. So, are they celebrating Valentine's Day twice? This wasn't too long after the Christmas episode and when Beckett made her movie choice, no snow was on the ground. Is this a mistake or is this really their first Valentine's Day together?

Answer: The networks are now having winter breaks. A mid season end of new episodes, when they come back after the new year, it picks up as if several months have gone by. Beckett suggested Valentine's Day as a "chick flick" to watch as she is moved in. Also some episodes are not scheduled to air in order.
