Continuity mistake: The person responsible for background shots while anyone is in a car driving, is grossly negligent in their continuity. Very rarely do Bones & Booth drive down a street without the background changing rapidly from urban to rural streets, and back. In a Season 1 episode, they're driving through a flat desert, with nothing in the background except scrub - and then suddenly, a mountain appears in the middle of the shot.
Continuity mistake: When Zac is taking photos of the bones, the shot is flipped. Note the logo and writings on his jacket. (00:07:10)
Continuity mistake: When the director is looking at the 2 photos Booth hands him, there is a shot of the two photos one on top of the other neatly. Camera changes and they are no longer neatly on top of each other. The bottom one is sticking out and should have been visible in the previous shot. (00:18:40)
Continuity mistake: At the funeral, Bones places a rose on top of several other roses on the coffin of the murder victim. When the victim's parents approach the coffin to place their rose on it, most of the roses have vanished. (00:39:05)
Continuity mistake: Bones holds a red bag that is scrunched up for Angela at the start. Camera cuts and the bag is unfolded and being held open by Bones. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: When Booth and Brennan are speaking with the widow explaining that her husband was murdered. Brennan has her arms folded across her chest, when the shot changes and you see her in the mirror her arms are hanging down at her sides, then when it changes back her arms are folded again. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: When Bones and Booth are arguing in the bar about the wife having an affair, Bones has chopsticks in her hand that disappears. (00:18:00)
Continuity mistake: When Bones is arguing with Booth and Angela at the bar, we see 3 extras walk in to the bar behind Bones. Camera cuts and they have disappeared. (00:18:20)
Continuity mistake: When talking to the brother, he bends over to place a tray of drinks on the table. Camera changes and he is suddenly stood bolt upright. (00:20:25)
Continuity mistake: When Bones and Booth are discussing him and Tessa breaking up, the background outside the car changes between traveling at speed, traveling slowly, travelling through residential and traveling on highways all instantly. (00:32:25)
Continuity mistake: Booth finds the entry in the diary and holds up a square of paper. Camera cuts and he is now looking at his watch with the diary and paper gone. (00:35:25)
Continuity mistake: At the end after shooting Farheed, we see Booth with both hands on the railing. Camera shows a secret service operative opening the camera bag containing the bomb then cuts back to Booth who suddenly has his gun back in his hands and raised as if he had just fired. (00:38:50)
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when Booth and Bones are having drinks at a bar, as Booth says good bye, Bones has her head resting on her propped up left arm. When Booth turns back to leave, both her arms are on the counter. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: At the start, Zac leans forward and says to Booth about calling after every sexual encounter. Camera cuts to Bones and Zac is now sat back again. (00:02:25)
Chosen answer: Pickering states the name "Juan Guzman" and during the run of the show we are never told who he is, or why Brennan had been in Cuba and met with this Juan Guzman. We don't know if there is any kind of "relationship" between Brennan and Guzman. A bit frustrating, but I like how this short scene shuts down Agent Pickering's entire review, and it hints at Brennan's career history and her level of security clearance.

Thanks for the clarification. It's been a while since I watched the series start to finish. It also adds to show how much power Brennan actually has.

Do you remember when Bones was telling Angela about the time she was on one of her out of the country trips, and she was thrown in a dark cell for what she later found out was 3 days? She was crying and looked terrified as she remembered this. She had that same look as someone who was remembering past trauma when Pickering said this name. I kind of always thought that "Juan Guzman" was the one who did that.
