Iced - S3-E19

Factual error: McGee is seen trying to trace the SMS/email and we see a brief glimpse of the screen when he says he's found the IP address. The address is 112.191.61.2913. Impossible as an IP never goes over 255. (00:31:00)

Untouchable - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: The camera pans across a line of several anime plushies. When the shot then goes wide, several of the plushies have either been re-arranged or removed completely, including a pink plush and the Kyogre plush. It also seems as though there are two Miroku plushies in the scene as well, one near the middle and one off to the side of the left pillow. (00:04:10)

Untouchable - S3-E20

Revealing mistake: When Tony is winding the cat up in the carry basket, we see a side shot when the cat "attacks" him. However looking through the side of the cage, you can see the cat is nowhere in sight and therefore unable to attack Tony. (00:07:50)

Untouchable - S3-E20

Deliberate mistake: When Tony's holding the cat's carrot toy he's nearly bitten, and the Probies laugh. Then while Tony directs his amusing fictional rant at one Probie, just as Tony asks, "Getting a kick out of this now, think this is funny?" this closeup is flipped. (00:08:50)

Super Grover

Untouchable - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: Ziva says how she has the same problem as Tony in regards to a neighbor. When she does we can see a red suit wearing agent entering the house. Camera cuts and he never appears. (00:09:20)

Untouchable - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: When Ziva and Tony head out to bring in Lieutenant Napleton, in the first shot Tony grabs his jacket then holds it in his left hand, as he reaches down with his right hand to grab his backpack. Next shot Tony is now holding his jacket in his right hand, as he's reaching for his backpack with his left hand. (00:15:45)

Super Grover

Untouchable - S3-E20

Revealing mistake: When the Lieutenant is explaining how her gun was in the victim's house, the camera pans behind Gibbs. Pay close attention and you can see a very faint shadow move across his back. Since we see there is nothing behind him on numerous occasions, it can only be part of the film crew. (00:18:20)

Untouchable - S3-E20

Visible crew/equipment: After Abby has convinced Jimmy to begin the autopsy, Ducky soon applauds Jimmy's initiative. As this enjoyable scene continues, when Mrs. Mallard walks in, just as Ducky says, "We did go for a ride, Mother," the hand of a crew member is visible on the lab fridge, at the right side of the screen. (00:29:45)

Super Grover

Jeopardy - S3-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When Gibbs joins Abby and McGee in the Forensic Lab, in two shots facing McGee as he tells Gibbs about working a different angle and explains it, a crew member wearing a black short-sleeve shirt is visible on the right side of the screen. (00:16:55)

Super Grover

Jeopardy - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When Tony places the "death" Tarrot card on McGee's chest, McGee grabs it with his fingers by the black square at the top. Camera changes and now he is holding it much lower. (00:29:00)

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Trivia: Season 6, "Agent Afloat": Maybe real aircraft carriers posing as fictional ones shouldn't let viewers see their registration numbers. When this episode aired, producers heard from several "carrier purists" complaining that CVN74 is the U.S.S. John C. Stennis, not the (non-existent) Seahawk.

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.
