Other mistake: Beckett points out to the murderous security guard that some graffiti magically appears on the tape, showing the live image was replaced with older pre-recorded footage. "Do you see that? It's actually kinda hard to spot." Except the graffiti doesn't appear at the point where the live feed restarts (when the guard enters the shot), it only appears on the footage after a cut away and then back.

Stupidity: Castle casually smashes two dolls expecting there to be something hidden inside, but a) he knows they're valuable collectibles which the captain would take serious issue with him smashing, and b) anything inside must have gotten inside somehow non-destructively, so there's no need to smash the dolls, why not get whatever's inside out the same way it got in?

Stupidity: The dancing show is appallingly organised - they launch into the opening dance without any of the production crew knowing where one of the two dancers is, leaving everyone mystified when she misses her cue (because she's dead in her dressing room). They wouldn't even have started filming without her being offstage ready to go.

Stupidity: Castle and Beckett are trapped in a refrigerated container - they bang against a steel door and shoot it, but never even consider doing anything with the refrigeration coils or vents which are visible, accessible, and what keeps the container cold. Damage them and the space they're trapped in wouldn't be below freezing any more, which is the main danger to them.

Continuity mistake: The guy at the door says "I purchased a ton of crap at that place" and the door is partially open next to him. It cuts to a barely different angle as he says "come on in" and the door is instantly wide open. (00:25:25)

Character mistake: They find the DeLorean and the licence plate is shown: LFM-26W1. Esposito calls in and says the car needs towing: "'81-'82 DeLorean, New York plates, JLD..." Nothing like the actual licence plate.
