NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service

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)

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)

Lt. Jane Doe - S2-E4

Plot hole: It really doesn't make sense that they found the real killer from Jane Doe #1 assuming he also killed Jane Doe #2. They only found him because they assumed he was in prison for the last 10 years. One could explain that he must have gone to prison shortly after the first murder because he said he'd be back but wasn't, but that he was actually recently released is just pure coincidence. And without finding him they would never have suspected Officer Cluxton.

Conspiracy Theory - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Gibbs puts his gun in his drawer on a blue folder then goes to talk to Fornell in the lift. When he comes back, he picks his gun up and the contents of the drawer and position of the gun have completely changed. (00:14:50 - 00:16:50)

Caught on Tape - S2-E15

Other mistake: It's the same license plate (107TIX) on Runyon's truck when the video footage is enhanced by Abby as the Ford sedan in S2 E10 "Chained" when Dinnozo and Jeffery leave the cabin.

Doppelgänger - S2-E12

Factual error: Obviously written to make the story interesting, but Gibbs says that the first criminal caught by DNA was a Mafia don in Sicily. Well as anyone interested in forensics knows it was Colin Pitchfork in England.

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?

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.
