Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum told Bobby Malua about his brother and that he can't leave the island without first saving him. There's a close-up of him saying "Look..."; do look, and you can't Miss a big lock of hair across his bloodied eye. But in the next shot, it's gone. (00:14:50)

Continuity mistake: When Magnum says "Let's get after it" only to be interrupted by Kumu shouting at him about the phone call, Higgins reaches for the goggles on top of her head; Thomas in another shot says "I'm sorry" and her hands are off the goggles, but in the following close-up on Perdita Weeks she has exactly a pose with hands on them.

Continuity mistake: In the water at the beginning of the episode, Higgins mentions "the repeated use" of the laptop, and as she says that she pulls the snorkel behind her shoulder.

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.
