Dead Doll (2) - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: In episode 8-1 Dead Doll: When Warick finds the zip-tie in the trunk it is not looped, when he holds it up for Grissom it is looped. He would not have looped it himself.

Goodbye and Good Luck - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: In the Season 8 episode "Goodbye & Good Luck," near the beginning, Sara and Warrick bump into each other and Warrick drops his medicine. During their conversation, Warrick squeezes Sara's shoulder and then drops his hand. The shot instantly cuts to a view from behind Sara and Warrick's hand is back on her shoulder with no time (or reason) for him to have put it back.

You Kill Me - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: In Episode 8-08, "You Kill Me," when Archie takes the first kilo of cocaine out of the case, he takes the bottom-most left-most kilo. When he takes out the second kilo, he removes the same package with the empty space being two to the left of the one he would have removed.

Grissom's Divine Comedy - S8-E12

Continuity mistake: When Warrick demands to see the hands of a suspect, the suspect refuses and Warrick pushes him up against a wall. During which time, there are multiple angles which show Warrick wearing sunglasses, then suddenly not wearing them anymore. (00:23:30)

Bad Words - S4-E19

Plot hole: A central plot device in this episode is that there is no six letter word made up of the letters EXVIN, so the murdered man cheats at the word game by playing a word he knew to be inadmissible - exvin, a wine connoisseur who no longer drinks. Since he is supposed to be a stone cold killer player at this word game, don't you think he would have thought of Vixen? Sara Sidle points that word out later - why wouldn't a world champion word game player have figured it out, using a safe, common word and avoiding a possible challenge?

Suggested correction: If you watch the episode (timecode 00:36:20), in the flashback it shows exactly why he did not use vixen. There were 2 spaces between the "x" and the "n" on the board, so Adam played a bluff and used the fake word exvin.

Answer: The episode on CSI:NY was called "Love Runs Cold" and first aired on October 4, 2006 (Season 3, Episode 3) and involves the investigation of a model found stabbed to death by an ice dagger.
