Missing - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: When interviewing the reporter, Gibbs remarks about how some reporters would kill for a story. When he does, he is writing something down. Camera cuts and his hands are together and he is no longer writing. (00:09:30)

Split Decision - S1-E21

Split Decision - S1-E21

Visible crew/equipment: When Tony open the van's back door to show Abe's "daughter" the weapons they are alone, with Gibbs taking their photos from across the road. There's a closeup of the case of LAWs, and in the next shot a crew member (looking at the actors) is visible at the left side of the screen, standing directly behind them (she's in this shot only). (00:16:10)

Split Decision - S1-E21

Visible crew/equipment: When the "militia" guy fires the MP5 at the mannequin, after the last closeup of that mannequin it then cuts to a long shot facing the militia members, Gibbs, and Stone, and two crew members (one in shorts and the other wearing jeans) are visible at the top right side of the screen. (00:38:15)

A Weak Link - S1-E22

Revealing mistake: When Gibbs and Todd are walking into the church, the camera shadow can be seen going over the seats on the left hand side. There is no-one other than Gibbs and Todd moving and the shadows are not possible from them. (00:25:00)

Reveille - S1-E23

Factual error: Special Agent Gibbs asks McGee how long Medical School takes in the UK, to which he answers 4 years. This is incorrect, because almost all aspiring doctors in the UK go through the Undergraduate Medicine route (MBBCh) which takes 5 years. When McGee performs a search on the computer, he enters "Medical Post Graduate" in the search criteria, which would be unlikely in real life. (00:24:27)

Reveille - S1-E23

Other mistake: When we see McGee get a match for the terrorist, the picture of Ari that we see has been shown many times before in the search for his identity.

Reveille - S1-E24

Revealing mistake: At the end, Gibbs opens the body bag and the woman's eyes move ever so slightly as if trying to focus under the contact lenses used to give the clouded appearance. This does not happen in real corpses. (00:39:25)

See No Evil - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Gibbs' phone breaks, and he tells McGee to "reboot" it, Tony is in the back, getting a phone out of the cabinet. He starts to give the phone to McGee. The next shot, the cabinet opens again, and Tony pulls out the phone again and gives it to McGee. (00:04:55)

See No Evil - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gibbs leads Tony and Kate to MTAC, Tony extends his arm in a "ladies first" gesture to let Kate go ahead of him, then drops his arm to his side. In the next shot, his arm is extended again and he drops it a second time. (00:16:30)
