Continuity mistake: While Alan's sitting on the couch, Evelyn's talking to Alan "helping...through a very difficult time," and in the shots facing Alan all of the books on the table behind him, and also the books on the couch's side table keep changing - not just their position, all the books actually become different books. Additionally, in the shots facing Charlie, the books beside the chair and the books/CDs/DVDs on the bookcase change as well.
11th Mar 2015
Continuity mistake: While Evelyn is at Charlie's asking Alan if he's considered that there may be another man at Judith's "shacking up with her," Evelyn is wearing a blue 2-piece skirt suit, but in Charlie's close-up Evelyn's wearing a white suit with a red floral pattern when she's standing in front of Charlie, at the left side of the screen. (In the original pilot Evelyn is played by Blythe Danner wearing the floral suit, but she had to back out and was replaced by Holland Taylor, who's wearing the blue suit).

Revealing mistake: When Charlie and Jake are at the supermarket Jake tells his uncle to switch milk brands, and when Charlie puts the Dairy Farm 1/2 gallon milk carton back on the shelf it wobbles easily back and forth, revealing it's actually an empty carton.

The Walk-in - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: When Jim brings a new body to the morgue there's a "John Doe" already lying there, and in the close up we see that the corpse's right foot is missing the middle toe. We see this again later when Jim's ring is stolen from his locker, with the bloody right footprint on the floor. However, when Melinda shows up the close-up shots of the bloody footprints have been flipped so it's the left foot with the missing toe, but what's funny is that in the audio we hear Jim say, "The middle toe is missing on the right foot."
9th Mar 2015
Continuity mistake: While Melinda's trapped underground with the rising water flooding the utility vault, when Eli and Jim go down below Eli takes off his shoes and jacket, the camera pans up from the churning water and we briefly see Eli's bare feet. The next shot we see him taking the socks off.
9th Mar 2015
Continuity mistake: When Jim joins Melinda on the bench to discuss the treatment records from Gabriel's institution, the heart locket on Melinda's neck keeps vanishing and reappearing repeatedly, depending on the angle of the shot. (00:07:50)
9th Mar 2015
Visible crew/equipment: When Hotchner, Callahan, JJ, and Rossi surround Frank's car on the private property, just after Callahan sees the leg on the seat, when she opens the passenger side door the reflection of the standing male cameraman/crew member is visible on the surface of the car, between the windows.
9th Mar 2015
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'.
9th Mar 2015
Other mistake: At the start, the soon-to-be victim gets off the A train at Spring Street (subway heads south, then Bklyn/Queens) and stands on the west-side platform, facing the southern subway exit, then the unsub comes up from behind him, shoots him and he falls toward the same way that the unsub walks - the southern exit. However, when Hotchner plays the NYPD's surveillance footage, the victim is facing the northern subway exit when the unsub comes up from behind him, shoots, and he falls toward the same way that the unsub walks - this time the northern subway exit. Interestingly, neither are flipped shots since we can see "Spring St" correctly. Later, when Prentiss reviews footage it's as it was shown originally.

Trivia: Rick Dunkle, a Criminal Minds producer, writer, and script coordinator, has a cameo as Jonathan, the dead driver in the car that was hit by the tractor trailer, at the start of the episode. *Spoiler* Dunkle, who is a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, thought it would be cool to be killed by 'Wesley Crusher' who's played by Wil Wheaton, and who guest stars in this episode.

Tabula Rasa - S3-E19
Trivia: When Rossi's on the telephone in his office, the camera pans around and on the desk we see the real-life photograph of the actor Joe Mantegna with friend Ringo Starr.
9th Mar 2015
Character mistake: When Morgan looks up Charlie Luvet's car GPS map history, the last address reads "11257 Palmdale Drive," but when Morgan phones Hotchner with the address he says, "11257 Palm Drive."
9th Mar 2015
Other mistake: When Garcia tracks down Peter Redding's current address, we see a close-up of Garcia's computer screen and the address reads "12859 Beckler Ln.," but when the BAU and police arrive at Peter's house the number is 4433.
9th Mar 2015
Other mistake: When Prentiss and Morgan are trying to figure out how the victims were controlled, Prentiss phones Garcia to find a drug that would temporarily paralyze or subdue. Then just as we hear Garcia answering the call, there's a close-up of Garcia's computer screen and we see the picture of five suicide notes, and at this point there have been six victims. Then later, after the seventh victim is found, when Morgan holds the latest suicide note in the close-up, we can see it's the same note that's already been shown.
9th Mar 2015
Revealing mistake: When the unsub is in the house with the mother and her toddler, one of the shots of the toddler is flipped, before he starts crying.
9th Mar 2015
Continuity mistake: At the start of this episode Rossi tells Garcia about the case he's obsessed with, "It's the 20th anniversary of this crime. Twenty years tomorrow, three children woke up and found their parents murdered." However, during S3xE11 "Birthright," while working on their current Wilkinson case, Rossi shows Caulfield (the sheriff of the original Wilkinson case from 1980) the victim's charm bracelet he carries, then tells him about the Indianapolis case he's never forgotten, and how every year since then he's called the victims' children. And later, after Caulfield tells Rossi it's been 27 years since his own unsolved case, he asks Rossi how long it's been for him and Rossi says, "21," then Caulfield cautions, "Don't let it get to 22."
9th Mar 2015
Visible crew/equipment: When Katrina Townsley's driving while talking on her cell phone the unsub is driving behind her, and we see that she's alone in her car, but when the unsub rear-ends her car the second cameraman is sitting in the passenger seat with a handheld camera, filming Katrina's close-ups.
9th Mar 2015
Birthright - S3-E11
Visible crew/equipment: When Prentiss, Morgan, Rossi, and Caulfield go see Mary Wilkinson, in the wide shot just as Caulfield says, "Hello, Mary," the second camera filming from another angle is visible at the right side of the screen. Additionally, later when Chrissy confronts Charlie she's wearing one earring in her right ear, but after she shoots him that one earring is in her left ear. (00:18:45)
9th Mar 2015
On the Wings of a Dove - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Joseph wants proof that Melinda sees Julian, the boy asks Melinda to describe the tattoo behind his father's right ear, and we see a close-up of the white dove tattoo that Julian got after his son's birth. Then, while Julian whispers to his son, there is no tattoo behind his left ear, but as Julian walks backwards toward Jim the white dove tattoo is now visible. (00:37:40)
9th Mar 2015
Trivia: The director, Tommy Wirkola, has an uncredited cameo of sorts (seen on screen longer than a usual cameo) as one of Sheriff Berringer's four deputies. Stuntman Wolfgang Lindner portrayed one of the deputies, and is uncredited as well.
