The Parts in the Sum of the Whole - S5-E16
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Booth and Bones are telling Sweets about their "real first case" together - the case where they actually met for the first time. During this episode, Booth, Bones, and Angela take some evidence to Caroline, and Booth introduces them both (most importantly Brennan) to Caroline. However, in season 1, episode 19, "The Man in the Morgue", (which would have taken place after this initial first meeting) when Brennan is accused of murder in New Orleans, Booth has Caroline fly to NOLA to be Brennan's lawyer, and he introduces the two of them. If they had already been introduced during the first case Booth and Brennan worked on together, they would not have needed to be introduced here; they would have already known one another.
The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - S5-E4
Factual error: Near the end, the gang is using Luminol to check for blood on neighbourhood signs. Luminol won't work in broad daylight, they should have used a blue light filtering lens to enhance its visibility.
Harbingers in a Fountain - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: Bones gets stabbed with a scalpel in her arm and it's bleeding profusely. However the next day she has a short sleeve top on and there is no mark or bandage on her arm. (00:30:50)
Factual error: The Roswell, New Mexico sheriff forces Bones to examine the body because it was found in his jurisdiction. But later in the episode, we learn that the body was found 2 kilometers from the border of Mexico. Roswell is not even in a county on the border of New Mexico much less one that borders Mexico. In fact the closest border to Roswell between the US and Mexico would be in Texas - hours drive away. The Roswell sheriff would have no jurisdiction.
The Boy with the Answer - S5-E21
Continuity mistake: As Booth hugs Brennan in her apartment, her head switches shoulders each time the camera changes angle.
The Boy with the Answer - S5-E21
Continuity mistake: It is the evidentiary hearing, all characters are put on the witness stand so you get to see what all of them are wearing. The trial starts the next day and lasts at least three days, but when they are in court at the end of the trial for the reading of the verdict for the gravedigger they all have the exact same outfits on as the day of the evidentiary hearing.
The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - S5-E4
Visible crew/equipment: We can see crew reflected in Hodgins' car door as he arrives at the crime scene. (00:20:20)
Harbingers in a Fountain - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Angela is checking the facial recognition, the photos actually stay the same, but just rotate spots.
The Proof in the Pudding - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: At the end when Booth is hugging Brennan after the bone sinks, Brennan's hands go from being clenched to being open to being clenched again. (00:37:00)
The Foot in the Foreclosure - S5-E8
Audio problem: In the beginning of the episode, Booth introduces his grandfather to Sweets and his grandfather asks, "Where did you get your M.D., in a Cracker Jack box?" You can hear Bones laugh, but her mouth remains closed.
The Plain in the Prodigy - S5-E3
Factual error: When Bones and Booth go to visit Levi's parents and Sarah's brother yells at her that she is needed at home, when he gets into the buggy you see him wearing a wedding ring. Amish wear a beard to indicate marital status, not jewelry it is against the religion to wear any decoration including wedding rings. (00:08:50)
A Night at the Bones Museum - S5-E5
Factual error: Hodgins makes a remark about the mummy wrappings being for an important person because it is a diamond weave pattern. However, the diamond weave pattern didn't come into effect until the Greco-Roman period that began at 332 B.C. It certainly wouldn't be found in an 18th dynasty mummy, no matter how important he was.
A Night at the Bones Museum - S5-E5
Factual error: Hodgins says that natron was a naturally drying agent, which was used in the second century B.C. This is both wrong and right. While it is true that natron was used for mummification, it was used for thousands of years in Egyptian culture, not just the second century B.C.
Character mistake: Episode 5.07, "Dwarf in the Dirt" - Over lunch with Doctor/Chef Gordon Wyatt, Angela says he'd have to dislocate his jaw like "an articulated python" in order to bite into his sandwich. The snake is actually called a reticulated python.
The Beginning in the End - S5-E22
Continuity mistake: At the start, the amount of maggots in the boy's hair changes between shots. (00:00:30)
The Witch in the Wardrobe - S5-E20
Continuity mistake: Bones draws a circle around the pentagram; however, it changes designs when we next see it. (00:35:10)
The Predator in the Pool - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the episodes, Booth is holding his beer by his mouth. As the camera does its final change of angle and starts to fade out, he is now drinking his beer, despite an instant cut. (00:41:15)
The Predator in the Pool - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: Booth holds out the cheque for Dimitri Vladov to see. It is either held horizontally or vertically, depending on the camera angle. (00:29:40)
The Predator in the Pool - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: When Booth is holding up Ben's cheque, the way he holds it changes from the front view and the over-the-shoulder view. (00:24:50)
The Predator in the Pool - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: When we first see the skull, it has all its teeth in place. When the skull lands on the bottom of the tank, a top tooth is missing. (00:04:20)
Suggested correction: How is it a mistake? By the submissions own words it's at least 4 days later. So why couldn't they end up wearing the same?

One person, sure, but everyone wearing the exact same outfits 4 days later? That's way more likely to be a mistake than a big coincidence.
