Revealing mistake: Throughout season 2 on several occasions it's clear that John Terry (Bob Warner) is wearing a fake mustache and a fake beard.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Plot hole: Peter Kingsley is shot and killed by a man in a helicopter just as he is about to kill Jack. Kingsley would definitely have heard the helicopter approaching.
Day 2: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. - S2-E22
Other mistake: In the beginning of the episode when the show is starting and the credits are rolling, instead of Billy Burke the credit is shown as Billy Gurke.
Day 2: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: Mike Novik is briefing President Palmer about his phone call with Jack Bauer. In one shot Mike gets so emotionally involved in his speech to Palmer, a tear roles down his face and his eyes are glazed. The camera switches to Palmer, and in the next shot of Mike, his face is dry and his eyes are not glazed anymore.
Day 2: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. - S2-E22
Plot hole: When Kim sees Gary she runs into the master bedroom, hides her bags, goes into the closet and up to the attic - all in the time it takes Gary to run five yards to the bedroom door. And considering how much noise the attic door made he should have heard her. Plus, how did she manage to get the door hatch closed when she had gone up?
Day 2: 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. - S2-E11
Deliberate mistake: When Jack and that FBI team are looking for Sied Ali in the mosque, Jack finds a burning body in another room. He is led to believe that it is Ali, because the body's clothes matched the description that Kate Warner had given him. It is obvious that the skin is badly burnt, yet the clothes are barely scorched.
Day 2: 12:00 Midnight-1:00 A.M. - S2-E17
Factual error: When Yousef uses his Nextel to call Jack he uses the bleep button on the Nextel. Yet when Jack gives the phone to Wallace it is a regular call and not the Nextel bleep.
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Plot hole: When Kim is brought back to the police station for the last time, the officer explains to her that they now know it was Gary Matheson who killed his wife, and that they are still looking for him. Why then, would Kim and her police escort not even consider the possibility that he might be hiding at his home when they arrive to get Kim's belongings? Even if the police searched the house once before, you would have to be insane to allow a teenage girl to enter the home of a known murderer on the loose. Beyond that, Kim herself never seemed to consider the threat.
Day 2: 7:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M. - S2-E12
Revealing mistake: When Kate Warner phones her sister, Marie holds her phone up to the camera and you can see that the words "KATE'S CELL" have been written using the 'Write Messages' function on her Nokia. The 'abc' in the corner gives it away plus you can see the cursor trying to be hidden by being moved next to the 'K' (00:20:05)
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Revealing mistake: After Kate Warner has picked up Kim Bauer, they are drving back to CTU in Kate's car. Unless I'm mistaken, when the car is shown, there is no number plate.
Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M. - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: When Kate Warner ascends the stairs in Kim Bauer bosses house, she holds her sunglasses in her left hand. When the camera changes she has sunglasses on her right hand and her left hand is empty.
Factual error: Invoking the 25th amendment cannot be done by vote. The members have to send in their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall then immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Day 2: 11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight - S2-E16
Other mistake: In German Television the clock at the end switches from 23:59:59 to 23:00:00.
Day 2: 1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. - S2-E18
Visible crew/equipment: In the gun battle just after Kate has shot the man there is a shot of Jack spinning and shooting in which you can see a cameraman filming the action to the right of the screen.
Day 2: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: In the long shot showing Kate and Reza driving down the highway, in the background of the passenger side, we can see a very tall wooden partition. However, the close shots of Kate talking shows a lush green background - suddenly there is no partition. (00:30:00 - 00:31:00)
Day 2: 1:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M. - S2-E18
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack is escaping with Yusef and Kate, the shadow of the camera crane is visible on the car. (00:21:00)
Day 2: 5:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M. - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: Marie Warner goes to see Reza at her father's office at about 5:30. When she enters the office, she puts her handbag on the table and embraces Reza. After they embrace she picks her handbag up from the floor next to Reza's chair. There was no time or opportunity for anyone to move her bag.
Day 2: 7:00 A.M.-8:00 A.M. - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: During the showdown between Jack and Kingsley at the colloseum, the shadows made by the early morning sun change throughout the sequence. By the time the SWAT-team arrives, the sunlight comes from the other side entirely. (00:20:50 - 00:29:45)
Day 2: 2:00 A.M.-3:00 A.M. - S2-E19
Audio problem: When Tony tells Michelle that he told the president about the chip Jack found, they cut to a different angle, and Tony is still speaking, but his lips aren't moving.
Day 2: 5:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M. - S2-E10
Revealing mistake: Kate Warner holds a bloody towel to her wounded earlobe. She puts it away and you can see a very clean band aid around the lobe. (00:27:55)
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.
