Day 6: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When Jack slams his carjacked SUV into the terrorist's car, only its driver's side door acquires damage, but when it cuts to a close-up the car also has substantial damage over the front tire.
Day 6: 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM - S6-E1
Deliberate mistake: Jack is tortured by having a nerve stabbed, and then having acid thrown on it. But in the next episode, when he is chasing the bomber, he is perfectly fine.
Day 5: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. - S5-E5
Plot hole: Martha Logan told Evelyn about the transcript and hid it in her bra in front of her. Yet when Mrs. Logan later tells her husband about it Evelyn doesn't seem to have any idea what she is talking about. While it can be considered a character choice for Evelyn not to speak up, there is no reason at all why Martha, who is so desperate for her husband to believe her, doesn't ask Evelyn to verify it.
Factual error: At about 5:45pm, Teddy is viewing Jack through his rifle scope, but there are no cross hairs, nor any other reticles. (00:31:20)
Day 6: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM - S6-E9
Continuity mistake: When Milo begins to drive the tactical van with Marilyn, the driver's side door acquires significant damage, but when being shot at a moment later, the door is undamaged.
Day 4: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. - S4-E5
Continuity mistake: Debbie's gunshot wound travels up from her navel to right under her thorax within 40 seconds. (00:15:00 - 00:15:40)
Day 3: 5:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M. - S3-E5
Other mistake: At about 5:36 Jack and Ramon are playing Russian Roulette. Right before Ramon nods to Jack indicating the bullet will be fired, we see a shot of the gun from behind revealing the next chamber to be empty. The trigger would need to be pulled two more times in order to fire the bullet. (00:29:10)
Day 5: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. - S5-E5
Continuity mistake: Season five, 5th hour. Lynn knows about the four people who knew Jack was still alive, he mentions their names and talks to Jack about it. Yet when they are told Tony wants to speak with Jack, Lynn looks completely puzzled and Jack tells him that he knew Tony. Minutes earlier Lynn already knew that.
Day 4: 8:00 A.M.-9:00 A.M. - S4-E2
Continuity mistake: When Agent Lobell tries to stop a car from leaving the train station, the terrorist in the car shoots at him through a window, shattering it. When the camera cuts to a shot of Lobell falling to the ground, the window in the car is gone, but no fragments of it are on the car or the ground under it.
Day 4: 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When Driscoll leaves CTU, Secretary Heller asks Tony to call Division to request a replacement. Moments later, Heller says he still wants to call District. (00:14:00 - 00:14:40)
Day 6: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: When Martha stabs Logan in the first shot, she drops the two plates she holds in her left hand. Next shot, facing Logan, the two plates are still in her hand.
Day 2: 5:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M. - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: You see Nina lying on the ground with a knee of an soldier in her back and you hear handcuffs - but when he pulls her on her feet her left arm is free. (00:04:15)
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack and Sherry are running down the corridor, Jack is thrown against the wall. Look at the edge of the screen and you can see the camera that shot the last shot move.
Day 2: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S2-E16
Factual error: At 18:50, Tony tells Jack that he's contacted someone at the San Jose Sheriff's Department. At 19:35 Jack calls and gets a response of "Sheriff's Department" on the line. There is no San Jose Sheriff's Department. It should have either been the San Jose Police Department or the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. (00:18:50)
Day 3: 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M. - S3-E24
Factual error: Chase gets into surgery way too quickly. Considering the time it would take for the paramedics to reach him, stabilise him, pack his hand in ice and bring him to the ER, and then for the doctors to get him ready for surgery, sedate him and actually start operating. There is no way they would have been able to do that in the amount of time they did.
Continuity mistake: In the 08:00 - 09:00 episode on DVD (and during the previous few hours) you see Kim Bauer's feet and she is wearing sandals with no socks. At 08:36 when Terri has just been taken from the room where they are being held captive you see a shot of Kim sitting down and you can see that she is wearing pink leather slipper style shoes and black socks.
Day 5: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: Season 5 Episode 1 Hour 07:00 A.M. The bad guy goes for Chloe and starts running at full speed close to the door (15 steps?) at 00:17:24. After 9 seconds "running," he barely is at the door. (00:17:25)
Day 2: 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: When Roger Stanton is about to be arrested, just before he stands up from his desk, we can see that the screen of his laptop is completely blue, however, while he is walking away with the army men, we can see the red ACCESS DENIED message on the screen on top of the blue background. No one touched the computer during that time.
Day 3: 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M. - S3-E24
Character mistake: Michelle tells the director that the target car is light blue. However, Chloe informs Jack that it is light green, which is the color of the car shown in the chase scene.
Answer: According to Jack in season 5, Nina was "deep cover" before the pair ever met, so it's safe to assume she was recruited before she joined CTU. As for what her primary mission was, who knows? Perhaps it was to gather sensitive intel and pass it on to her superiors. Given that she worked for an intelligence agency, it's not a stretch. Or perhaps we may find out in season seven.
