NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service

South by Southwest - S6-E17

Revealing mistake: At the crime scene we see Gibbs making notes on his notepad prior to Ducky calling him over. When he's looking at the business card you can see his notes in his notepad. However his notes are all just random lines and squiggles. It's not the case that he's made notes for himself in his own writing style. (00:04:00)

South by Southwest - S6-E17

Visible crew/equipment: During the exterior scenes in Arizona, with Sheriff Boyd, Gibbs, and Tony, in some shots either a hidden lavalier microphone or transmitter is visible. One example, when Dina fires her weapon Gibbs dismounts his horse, and his hidden transmitter is briefly seen at his back. Another example, while Dina tells Gibbs and Tony that her doctor ran blood tests, Sheriff Boyd's mic is visible under his shirt by the buttons, and so on. (00:35:30)

Super Grover

South by Southwest - S6-E17

Visible crew/equipment: When Gibbs informs Dina Risi of Patterson's death, it then cuts to Dina as she tells them she mixes her own pigments, and in the next shot facing Dina, the wheel base of filming equipment is visible on the right side of the screen (non-existent in overhead long shots). (00:36:05)

Super Grover

Knockout - S6-E18

Visible crew/equipment: While Ziva and Tara are in the Conference Room, when Director Vance walks in Ziva stands up to leave, and the two yellow tape marks are visible on the floor, where Tara will soon stand. (00:20:50)

Dead Reckoning - S6-E20

Character mistake: At the start, Kort takes the gun from one guy and uses it. He then places it at the second man's body without wiping it for prints. When he swaps his gun though, he wipes it for prints. Why didn't he wipe the first gun he used? (00:00:50)

Toxic - S6-E21

Visible crew/equipment: After Abby tells Gibbs that she's safe and staying at the hospital to help, when it cuts to the trio reading about Afghanistan War Syndrome on the monitor, as soon as McGee starts to speak the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen. (00:22:40)

Yankee White - S1-E1

Gibbs: I heard you quit, Agent Todd.
Kate Todd: Happy news travels fast. Yes, I resigned. It was the right thing to do.
Gibbs: Yep. Pull that crap at NCIS, I won't give you a chance to resign.
Kate Todd: Is that a job offer?
