Continuity mistake: After Marie's smoke alarm incident Marie starts to talk about Alex's dad coming to dinner, and when Alex walks away from the bouquet of flowers the ribbon has been removed from the bouquet, but next shot it's once again tied around the bouquet. (00:31:50)
Visible crew/equipment: At the tuxedo shop, after Tim's phone conversation with Delilah, when Ellie says, "I guess that's that, hey decision made," in the next shot facing Tim (he's standing in front of a trifold mirror), the reflection of the boom mic is visible at the top, right corner of the screen. (00:01:55)
Continuity mistake: When the helicopter lands on the helo deck there's a white aiming circle with a lineup line at the center, but after Gibbs and Palmer exit the helicopter the flight deck is again seen in a long shot, and the white lineup line is gone. (00:03:30)
Visible crew/equipment: After Gibbs leaves McGee at the hospital, when it cuts to the bar with Palumbo at the pool table, there are multiple yellow and orange T-marks on the floor by the bar behind him. (00:27:15)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs and McGee are alone in the kitchen, in the closeups of McGee when he raises his left hand (such as when he takes the watch from Gibbs) he is not wearing a ring, but in the consecutive shots of the duo McGee is wearing a ring on his left hand (also odd, since it looks like McGee's wedding band). (00:39:10)
Continuity mistake: Gibbs holds up his father's WW2 era Hamilton watch and gives it to McGee. While McGee holds the watch to read the engraving on the caseback, the buckle strap is in McGee's right hand. In the closeup of the caseback the crown is at the bottom (which would mean the buckle strap is in McGee's left hand), but in the two shots facing McGee the crown is at the top (which would also make the engraving upside down while McGee reads it). (00:40:20)
Rendezvous - S14-E24
Visible crew/equipment: When McGee and Torres enter Hudson's motor home, the green T-mark is visible on the floor just as McGee lifts the case lid. (00:12:35)
Rendezvous - S14-E24
Revealing mistake: While McGee is bandaging what's left of Dean's arm you can see the arm is way to long to have the hand missing, you can tell the actor's hand is still there.
Visible crew/equipment: While Ellie and Nick are undercover they meet Donnie, and when Ellie walks behind the store's counter the yellow T-mark is visible on the floor. (00:16:30)
Revealing mistake: Right at the start, in the tight closeup just as Sweeney squeezes the trigger, "Replica Independent Studio Services Sunland, CA" can be seen engraved on the prop weapon. ISS is a supplier of props for production studios. (00:00:10)
Continuity mistake: They say the suspect was dishonorably discharged in 2008. A minute later in the episode they say he was dishonorably discharged in 2010. (00:10:50 - 00:11:55)
Factual error: The intro shows a flashback from 1994 where young McGee is using a PC with Windows 95, which was not released until late 1995. (00:00:35)
Revealing mistake: When Gibbs' flip phone started ringing, and he flipped it open to answer it, for the brief second, in the closeup shot of the flip phone, the screen on the phone says "No Service" despite receiving an incoming call.
Visible crew/equipment: After McGee tells Gibbs that he overheard the mention of "Paraguay" during the private conversation between Ziva and Gibbs, when it cuts to the next shot just as Ducky joins Kasie in the lab, the orange tape mark and yellow T-mark are visible on the floor. (00:29:20)
No Vacancy - S17-E7
Factual error: While investigating a Marine's murder, the team uncovers a labyrinth of live-streaming spy cameras hidden in the rooms of a Virginia motel. They show an attic in a motel room with cameras in multiple vents, the problem is that there are no air duct tubes which those cameras should have been mounted in. With no duct work you have no heat or no A/C, all you get is dust.
Factual error: The X-ray of Joe's arm is of someone much younger, with open epiphyseal growth plates, not something seen in adults.
Visible crew/equipment: When Gibbs and Ellie are at Demint's property gate his daughter drives up, and when Margot gets out of her car the two red and pink T-marks (plastic type) are visible on the ground by Ellie's feet. (00:12:45)
Continuity mistake: While Bishop and Torres are locked in the two jail cells, Bishop knocks out the glass from her barred window, but when Torres breaks the old toilet and says, "I really think we're stuck in here," Bishop's cell window glass is perfectly intact - we can see the reflection of all the bars. (00:07:10)
Revealing mistake: When the guy tied to the chair falls over, he uses his right arm to break his fall, then places it behind his back again after he lands.
Answer: I hadn't seen the backdoor pilots yet but while it wasn't explicitly stated, at least onscreen, I heard somewhere Vivian got either fired from NCIS due to jeopardizing a case, got resigned from the agency, or transferred to the FBI.
