The Couple in the Cave - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Booth and Hannah leave the bar, Booth puts some money on the bar to pay for his drink. When the shot shows Bones alone at the bar, and the shot is zooming out, the money on the bar has completely changed position from the previous shot. (00:40:50)

The Babe in the Bar - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: When Cam sits down with some catalogues for Michelle at the start, Michelle's hands change place between camera angles. In one shot, she has her left arm out straight, and in the next, she is fiddling with her right hand. (00:07:00)

The Bullet in the Brain - S6-E11

Factual error: Bone mentions Booth holds the "official record for the longest shot, almost a kilometer", and Booth corrects her to "over a kilometer." The record at the time was actually well over 2km, held by Corporal Rob Furlong, a Canadian sniper (since been beaten, it currently stands at 3.5km). In fact plenty of sniper kills had been recorded at over a kilometer since the late 19th century.

The Blackout in the Blizzard - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: The scene in which Wendell and Hodgins use scotch tape to take an x-ray has the number of photographic panels on which the x-ray appears switching from four (throughout most of the scene) to five (in the close up of the x-ray appearing).

The Blackout in the Blizzard - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: Toward the end in the elevator, Bones says there may be a way out by jumping on the seats to break them because of the rusted bolts between the 1st and 2nd seats, and they break. But at the end in Booth's apartment they are sitting in the seats, and they are numbered 1-4, but the seats look like they broke between seats 1 and 2. When the seats are intact there are 5 of them, so it should have been seats 2-5 that were intact at the end.

The Feet on the Beach - S6-E17

Plot hole: Dr. Filmore stated that he was reading on Thursday May 9th and his arm stopped working. May 9th hasn't been on a Thursday since 2002. Hard to believe that he would be working for almost 10 years with his arms being paralyzed.

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.
