Other mistake: During the explosion from the tape recorder, there is a very short explosion shot recycled from a previous season (when Christopher locks Jack in a bunker and tries to kill him with a bomb placed in a clipboard). This old footage is also seen when that tape recorder explosion is shown on recaps of the event in season 6.
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 6: 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM - S6-E2
Other mistake: At 7:45 Ahmed leads Scott out of his house at gunpoint so he can go to Scott's house. At 8:14 they arrive. But Scott's house is just across the street so we're supposed to believe that it takes half an hour to cross the street.
Day 6: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM - S6-E3
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack gets into the black SUV with Curtis, as they pull away two crew members are visible in the reflection on the side of the vehicle.
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: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM - S6-E3
Visible crew/equipment: After Tom tells President Palmer that Sandra has been arrested, when it cuts to the interior shot inside the car with Agent Samuels in the front passenger seat, the camera pans toward the rear passenger window showing all the protesters outside. In this shot there's a reflection of the camera operator's leg, wearing shorts, white socks and sneakers, and who is sitting where Sandra should be.
Day 6: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM - S6-E3
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack pulls over at the side of the road, as he informs Curtis that Assad is two miles ahead on the service road, the red T-mark is visible on the ground where the two men will stand.
Day 6: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - S6-E4
Revealing mistake: When Jack is forced to kill Curtis, Roger Cross flinches before the sound of the gunshot. (00:36:35)
Day 6: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the previous episode (approx 11:59 AM), Jack and Phillip are chained at the back of the van, and in the closeup Jack's handcuff double bar faces up on his right wrist. This moment is shown in the recap at the start of this episode. When the van reaches the dump site (approx 12:07 PM), Jack and Phillip are unchained and now Jack's handcuff single bar faces up on his right wrist. (00:01:55 - 00:07:55)
Day 6: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM - S6-E9
Visible crew/equipment: When Jack and Marilyn's car pulls up to 9407 Hindry Place, with the tactical van behind them, the filming crew's vehicle's license plate, beginning with 9DGE, is reflected on the car's windshield. (01:11:20)
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 6: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - S6-E10
Visible crew/equipment: While Bill, Nadia, and others begin watching Turner's team move toward Gredenko's presumed location on the live video feed, in the next shot facing Bill and Nadia, the T-mark quickly becomes visible at the bottom of the screen, near Bill's feet. (00:29:50)
Day 6: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: When Logan walks into Martha's bungalow, there is a deliberate close-up of the photograph with Martha and Anya, in a narrow goldtone frame. Oddly, in following shots, that photo is in a wide width, white frame. Additionally, the arrangement of all the frames on that table changes quite a bit as well.
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 6: 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM - S6-E17
Continuity mistake: After the staged vehicle crash and shootout, Jack is riding in a vehicle with agent Doyle. It is very dark during the fake shootout; but once the scene changes, daylight is seen through the window of the vehicle Jack is in.
Day 6: 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM - S6-E19
Visible crew/equipment: After Tom tells the VP that he could authorize ancillary agencies to join the search to find Jack, he and Karen leave the Oval Office, and in the next shot facing Lisa as she walks toward Noah, the yellow T-mark is visible on the rug at the bottom of the screen. (00:11:05)
Day 6: 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM - S6-E20
Continuity mistake: When Doyle puts Jack in the holding cell and handcuffs him, the cuff's double bar faces up on his right wrist, but when Doyle uncuffs him shortly after, the single bar faces up.
Day 6: 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM - S6-E20
Continuity mistake: In season four James Heller told Erin Driscoll that his wife, Audrey's mother, was named Susan. In this episode her name is Alicia.
Day 6: 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM - S6-E21
Continuity mistake: After Jack kills the Chinese agent, he picks up the agent's weapon (a HK G36). The weapon has a magazine in one of the camera angles but when the scene switches to another angle, there is no magazine in the rifle. (00:32:15)
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.
