Criminal Minds

The Inspiration - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: The unidentified subject is cutting a piece of flesh with a fork and a knife. The first shot shows him holding the fork with his left hand. His elbow is up, index finger straight, resting on the back near the head of the fork, the other four fingers wrapped around the handle. Next shot shows him elbow down, holding the fork with all his fingers wrapped around the handle.

Route 66 - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: In the video of the Chicago robbery they enter the building at 08:27 according to the timecode displayed, but they exit at 15:32. Seven hours is a very long robbery.

Route 66 - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: When the thief tries to steal the truck and the owner is beating him up, the passenger window behind the driver breaks. When his daughter later gets into the truck, very briefly the window is not broken. Then the next shot shows her in the truck, the window is broken again.

The Caller - S9-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, a St Louis couple has reported their son missing. At the FBI briefing, the agents are told that the boy's mother tucked him in at 10:00pm. A few minutes later, we hear the radio call over footage of police at the home, and the dispatcher says "Last seen at 2100." That's 9:00pm, not 10:00pm. (00:03:00 - 00:05:00)

Demons - S9-E24

Continuity mistake: While Reid's asleep in the hospital bed, Garcia places four Doctor Who figurines (one Dalek we don't see her place) on the overbed table - two Daleks, Matt Smith's Doctor, and David Tennant's Doctor. In the first shot Garcia's holding Smith's Doctor in her right hand and Tennant's Doctor in her left hand, but in the next shot those two figurines have switched hands.

The Angel Maker - S4-E2

Other mistake: At the start, it's nighttime when the unsub hides in the house of the soon-to-be victim who goes to sleep when her alarm clock reads 'Tue 11:06', and then we see the time morph to 'Tue 1:13' when the victim is sound asleep, before the unsub comes out of the closet to kill her. However, the time on the clock should actually read 'Wed 1:13'.

Show generally

Question: I never saw the whole episode, only near the end of it twice. The episode was about a boy about 10 or 11 who took a girl his age Into the Woods so he could kill her using a baseball bat. What was the name of this episode and what was the reason for him wanting to kill her?

Answer: "The Boogeyman", s02e06. Spoiler alert: The kid is Jeffrey Charles and at that point he had already killed 3 other kids. Jefferey basically hated and resented other kids after his mother abandoned him and his father spent a lot of time with other children because of his job. Jeffery would lure kids Into the Woods and then beat them to death with his bat just because of hate, no particular "reason." The scene you're describing, Jefferey agrees to walk Tracy home when her "buddy" leaves her (at this point the FBI announced there's a serial killer on the loose and kids should walk with a buddy). Jeffrey gets mad at Tracy for walking too slow and for complaining, and he takes a swing at her, causing her to flee Into the Woods and have Jeffery chase her.
