The Gamer in the Grease - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Fisher is putting a glove on his right hand when Dr Saroyan walks in. It cuts between them a few times, then we see him turning to the table to explain about the bones and neither of his hands are gloved. A short while later he turns to put on gloves - he regloves his right hand, it goes back to Dr Saroyan for a second, then back to him turning towards the table and both hands are now gloved. (00:17:20 - 00:18:20)

The Secret in the Service - S11-E17

Visible crew/equipment: A potential editing oversight can be found as Booth and Brennan are entering the shooting range by watching the space under the rifle of the third shooter. The gas can be seen coming from the spray can to the shooter's right, not the barrel of the rifle. (00:19:05)

The Man on the Fairway - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: At the start Bones asks Zac what he thinks of the bone fragment she is holding up. Camera shows Zac walking over the Bones who is now pointing at the ground. Camera shows them close up and Bones is now holding the fragment again. (00:02:15)

The Woman in the Garden - S1-E13

Other mistake: Just after Booth realises the drive by was done to help the gang member escape, we see him run up to Bones who's on the forensic platform. However Booth doesn't swipe his pass to allow him entry. Whenever anyone walks up without swiping the card, a siren goes off and the security guard stops them. Regardless of who they are, as demonstrated in several episodes. (00:06:00)

Show generally

Question: Between season 2 and season 6 we periodically meet a serial killer called The Grave Digger who's actual name is Heather Taffet. Having watched the complete series a while ago, one thing was never made clear (or I might have missed it) How did Taffet physically bury the containers her victims were in? The twins were buried in a park in a submerged beer vat that is stated as being 6ft high. Bones and Hodgins are buried around 4ft underground in a car. How does she manage to bury them without being seen or interrupted?

Answer: Answering my own question here but, having contacted various people involved in the production of Bones including Kathy Reichs, Hart Hanson, Eric Milligan, and Deirdre Lovegood who portrayed Taffet onscreen I finally have the answer. No-one know how she did it due to her constantly working alone. And she never revealed this information before her death.
