In the Zone - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: McGee is looking at a report at the end and we see the page he is looking at has a few lines of text. Nothing much. Camera cuts to a close up of the report and the page is completely different. (00:38:40)

Recoil - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Abby is first discussing the victim's blood types, there is a shot from behind her that shows a black band wrapped around her upper left thigh about an inch below the hem of her skirt. The shot changes to a front view and the black band is gone.

Suggested correction: That's because it's not a band round her thigh, but part of her outfit that only hangs at the back. Pay close attention and you can see the clip on her right leg.

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: During the investigation of the dead wife's crime scene, the arms of the corpse change position from shot to shot throughout the scene, including a moment where the corpse's arms are crossed, then in the next shot Ducky is shown crossing her arms. Ducky is also shown crossing the same arm twice, and the guitar control also changes direction and position with respect to the body. (00:03:20 - 00:05:30)

Capitol Offense - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: After Senator Kiley asks Gibbs to keep his name out of it until after the vote, it cuts to Ziva holding Carrie McLellan's Academy graduation photo (gold frame looks like an 8x10). In the closeup Ziva places the framed photo back on the shelf, but that photo vanishes from the shelf in following shots. When Gibbs walks in, it seems that photo is on the table beside the couch. (00:07:30)

Heartland - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When Gibbs and his father drive up to Winslow's house, in the shot facing Jackson he holds out the bottle of Kentucky bourbon with his left hand, but in the next shot facing Gibbs it's held out in Jackson's right hand, then it's back in his left hand. (00:18:45)

Heartland - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Jackson holds out the key to the Dodge Challenger, in the closeup the key case has its snap closure face up with the key facing Gibbs, but next shot the key case is upside down with the key facing Jackson. (00:40:25)

Heartland - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: Episode "Heartland": In the first five minutes of the show, after the guys are beaten up in the alley, when the black guy is laid down on the ground there is a blood stain on The Wall, behind where he was standing. When the other guys go to the white guy's aid the blood stain is gone, for about 3-4 shots. When the NCIS team is there gathering evidence the blood is back on The Wall.

Murder 2.0 - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When NCIS catches the killer, the way he holds a dead man's switch changes. In some shots, he holds it with all five fingers, and in others he holds it with his middle two fingers and thumb, with his index and pinkie fingers extended. (00:39:45)

Show generally

Question: I finally saw the 2-part episode from the show JAG. Does anyone know what happened to Viv Blackadder? I don't recall hearing anyone ever mention the name on NCIS.

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.

Raykvega423

Answer: I dont believe it is ever mentioned, but like most pilot episodes the characters are often changed, replaced or even removed in this case.
