4 corrected entries in season 9

(18 votes)

Correction: Blake's overwrought because Reid pushed her out of the way of the bullet that hit him, so she calls him by her dead son's name - Ethan. At the end, when Blake accompanies Reid back to his apartment she says that seeing him like that touched a nerve, and Reid asks Blake who Ethan is, so she tells Reid all about her son Ethan who died when he was just nine years old, and also tells him that Ethan would have been a lot like him.

200 - S9-E14

Corrected entry: When Blake and Rossi take out the safe, Blake opens it after Rossi suggests "2008, the year she [meaning Jennifer Jarreau] became a mom" but later when Jennifer and Cruz are in the March 2011 scene Jennifer tells Cruz she is pregnant. (00:12:45 - 00:23:30)

Correction: She was already a mom when this happened. The 2011 pregnancy would have made her son Henry a big brother.

Demons - S9-E24

Corrected entry: The female agent is with Spencer Reid after he is shot and is saying to him to stay with her and starts calling his name, "Ethan, Ethan." His name is Spencer.

Correction: Yes, Alex does call Spencer by her dead son's name Ethan. This was done quite intentionally in the script. At the end of the episode, when Alex accompanies Spencer back to his apartment after he's released from the hospital, Spencer asks Alex who Ethan is, and she tells Spencer about her son, who died when he was nine, then tells Spencer that Ethan would have been a lot like Spencer. Rather poignant.

Demons - S9-E24

Corrected entry: When Blake is telling Spencer to keep his eyes on her after being shot she calls him Ethan twice. (00:02:29)

Correction: This is very poignant and deliberate moments in the dialogue. Blake is feeling distraught since Reid pushed Blake out of the way and took the bullet instead of her. Blake calls Reid by her dead son's name, "Ethan," when she tries to keep him alert and shouts, "Ethan, Ethan!" Later in the episode, when Blake takes Reid back to his apartment, she explains that watching Reid when he was hurt touched a nerve. Reid then asks Blake, "Who's Ethan?" and Blake tells Reid all about her son "Ethan" who died when he was 9 years old. Blake then tells Reid that "Ethan" would have been a lot like him. Note, on the jet return flight, Blake texted Hotch her resignation from the BAU, and at the very end she leaves her badge with Reid.

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'.

Agent Hotchner: This is Special Agent Dr. Reid.
Man: You look too young to have gone to medical school.
Agent Reid: They are PhD's. Three of them.
Man: What, are you a genius or something?
Agent Reid: I don't believe that intelligence can be accurately quantified, but I do have an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, can read 20,000 words per minute...yes, I'm a genius.

About Face - S3-E6

Trivia: The scene where Rossi is bird hunting was done to show how different the character was going to be from Gideon, who was a noted bird lover.

Show generally

Question: The crew takes a private jet to most locations but always have the same black S.U.V.s. How do the vehicles get there as fast as the crew?

RGW

Chosen answer: Black SUVs are common police, military and dignitary vehicles around the world. It is not too much to assume they could be rented or owned by the police forces in the areas.

Other people have explained it but fore more information, federal cars would most likely be brought to the airport from the nearest agency, so they can drive out to their locations especially in rural situations.

Answer: There is only one BAU (or that's the impression the show gives, in reality there's 5 teams within the BAU), and they're based out of Quantico. However, the FBI has 56 field offices, each with their own vehicles leased from the over 200,000 vehicles that make up the Federal motor fleet. There are long term leases to federal agencies on these cars, in addition to there always being vehicles being made available to lease on an ad hoc basis for assignments. Plus, local and state police likely also have their own unmarked fleets, but due to the vehicles being mostly the same make/model/color in most episodes, they'd likely be borrowed from the nearest field office or other local federal office or ad hoc leased from the fleet for the assignment.
