Dark Skies - S5-E8

Character mistake: Higgins and TC are investigating a drug smuggler camp in Maui. TC sees a box of cigarettes and says the people in the camp must be Latino because the cigarette box is in Spanish. Wrong. The box says Cigarillos, which are small, short cigars. If the box was in Spanish it would say Cigarrillos, which is cigarettes in Spanish.

Character mistake: Nikki lost her insulin kit and needs insulin. Her mother suggests getting her a fruit juice, something sweet. Fruit juice contains a large amount of sugar which raises blood sugar levels very quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes are usually best to avoid drinking fruit juice. Her suggestion is absurd.

Meet in the Middle - S2-E1

Character mistake: Phil looks up the train travel time from Ashford and Diamond Falls. It is 4 hours 12 minutes. Later, he goes to meet Annie, and she has suggested they meet at Colson Bay, which is "in the middle." He is on a train, and he says that in 4 hours 12 minutes he will meet her. That cannot be, as they are meeting in the middle of that distance.

Ka 'i'o - S10-E7

Character mistake: McGarrett's team is in place for an assault. One of the members spots the "Rosita", a ship, not a person as they expected. But he calls it a Panamax ship, which it definitely is not. It is a smallish container ship, incapable of hauling 4,500 containers as a Panamax ship could. (00:23:57)

Hana Mao 'ole ka ua o Waianae - S9-E25

Character mistake: An escaping criminal steals an airplane and proceeds to take off. Let's not even discuss how a non pilot with just flight simulator time and no instruction could even do such a thing, especially starting it by watching a computer. What would never happen is that when confronted with a group of police cars in his way trying to prevent his takeoff, only then does he proceed to advance to full power. All takeoffs are done with full power from the beginning, otherwise you run the risk of never taking off at all. (00:31:40)

When in Rome - S1-E3

Character mistake: Ana Ortiz, who plays Susan Sampson, is of Puerto Rican ancestry and speaks Spanish perfectly, without any accent. At the very end of this episode she is giving a toast to "a very successful mission" and then add "y muchos mas", which is supposed to mean "and many more." Except that in Spanish, missions are female, and she should have said "y muchas mas." (00:47:50)

Character mistake: Nobody in this scene knows how to dance the tango that is playing. (00:16:35)

When in Rome - S1-E3

Character mistake: A van is shown with "Aureli Fallaci" on the side and front. Aureli is the plural of Aurelius, a proper name. Fallaci - the plural of fallacio - just means "fallacious or deceptive." So the letters on this surveillance truck mean nothing logical. It stands out like a sore thumb. Not what you want for a covert surveillance van. (00:15:15)

Character mistake: Various newspaper clippings are shown on the wall. There is one apparently in Italian saying "130 muore en aeroplano accidente." If this were Italian it would read: "130 muoiono in un incidente aereo." If instead it is Spanish it should read "130 mueren en accidente aereo." (01:40:00)

The Tale of the Book of Secrets - S4-E12

The Green Fireballs - S1-E6

Character mistake: Captain Quinn expresses not knowing what an "azimuth" is. The man is a pilot. What pilot would have never heard of an azimuth? (00:13:50)
