A Kiss Before Frying - S11-E12

Hitting for the Cycle - S11-E18

Continuity mistake: Series 11, Episode 18, "Hitting for the Cycle": At the very beginning of the episode they are talking about the cycle while looking at the board. The three main ones, Suicide, Accidental and Homicide, are together on cards with a space above and then two more cards. The scene then goes out to show the CSIs again, and there are now four cards grouped together on the board.

Sheltered - S13-E18

Character mistake: When Nick and Morgan are commanding the dog to find the victim's scent (and the crime scene), they both use commands in French, e.g. venez (come), trouvez (find), allez (go), and restez (stay) - these are all formal versions of each verb. Why would they command in a formal manner?

Suggested correction: Because that's the manner in which the French train their dogs - they are ordering them to do something, not asking them.

Skin in the Game - S13-E22

Continuity mistake: There is a point where they are discussing Dante's inferno and they have the pictures on the window. This includes Limbo and Lust which show the drawings with the women horizontal. The comment "You said he was giving us a show" is made, after which it shows the window pictures again. This time, the drawing of Limbo and Lust show the women vertically. Much later in the scene, they are back to horizontal. (00:28:30)

Take the Money and Run - S14-E2

Revealing mistake: When the shot security guard's wife demands to see him before he's taken out of the casino, the body bag he's in is unzipped, and the "dead" body very swallows, a fraction of a second before the focus is pulled back to his wife.

Frame by Frame - S14-E5

Factual error: Throughout the episode, people refer to the previous murder as occurring 14 years ago. That puts it in 1999, yet we know it was in 2000, thanks to photos and other evidence.

Suckers - S4-E13

Question: After finding out that Ty was committing insurance fraud, why did Grissom walk away instead of arresting him?

Answer: He doesn't have the authority to arrest him - when anyone is arrested in the show, a police officer does it. Also he tells Ty that he is going to be submitting his case findings to Ty's insurance company, who would no doubt contact the IRS, who then would have him arrested for fraud etc.
