Plot hole: How could the journalist kid have taken the photos of Lucas in the science lab drinking the weird liquid? Even Lucas didn't know where he was going until he got the phone call 20 seconds earlier, so how could his friend have been waiting outside the window with a camera?

Continuity mistake: In 'The Initiative', Riley, Graham and Forrest are looking in through the windows of Stevenson Hall with thermal goggles looking for Spike, they see him walking towards Willow. When we see Willow and Spike seconds later he is still sitting on the bed where he was for most of the scene. (00:37:30)

The Harsh Light Of Day - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: When Buffy catches Parker talking to another girl he stands up to leave and slings his backpack over one shoulder. In the next shot it's over both shoulders. (00:34:45)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Plot hole: In 'Graduation Day pt 2' the Mayor has his vampires stand at the bottom of the steps leading out of the school to stop any escaping students. The thing is, all the parents managed to escape out the side exits. Since the Mayor was expecting all the students to try and run too, why didn't he have these exits covered? (00:33:15)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: In 'Graduation Day, Part 1' when Giles stabs the Mayor, as he takes the foil out of his chest you can see a wound on his shirt. When the shot changes it has disappeared. I know the Mayor is invincible and his wound heal in seconds, but it still takes a second or two for his wounds to close up, they don't just disappear. (00:15:40)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: In 'Graduation Day, Part 1' when Buffy and Faith are fighting Faith falls into a table, knocking all the comics on it onto the floor. In one or two later shots you can see (on the very edge of the screen) that there's still a comic on it. (00:38:20)
15th Jul 2003
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: In 'Consequences' Buffy says to Faith 'Less that 24 hours ago you killed a man'. In 'Bad Girls', Faith kills Finch in the alley on the first night. One night later Buffy and Angel are attacking Belthazor, the night after that is the night when Buffy dreams about drowning, so the night when Buffy says this is actually about 72 hours after the murder. (00:11:25)

Urban Legend (1998)
Other mistake: The killer leaves the corpses of the Dean and Parker where they are and walks away, but they later appear in the room at Stanley Hall.
Suggested correction: That is because the killer is moving around the bodies. Just like when Damon is killed. His body is not where it was left when Alicia Witt comes back with the cops.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: Near the start of 'The Wish', the scene where Cordelia is talking to the Cordettes and meets Anya. During the close-ups of Harmony, Anya is standing to camera right of the brunette Cordette behind her. A few seconds later when the shot is further away Anya is standing camera left of the Cordette.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Buffy is walking forwards through Angel's dust in 'The Wish' there's a vampire running towards her, only a few steps behind. Then there's a shot of her walking forwards taken from another angle, then when we can see behind her again the same vampire hasn't moved forwards at all, he's still running from 3 steps behind her.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Stan looks down his road at the start of the movie you can see the Post Office, and there's nothing across the road but trees and snow. Later on, when he's in Tom's Rhinoplastry you can see the Post Office across the street. (01:00:00)
8th Jul 2003
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
Continuity mistake: When looking across from Tom's Rhinoplastry you can see the Post Office, and when you look across from the cinema you can see Tom's Rhinoplastry. This would suggest that the Post Office and the cinema are right next to each other, but in any shots showing the front of the cinema, the Post Office is nowhere near it. (00:04:30)

Trivia: In 'The Replacement' Xander says to Willow 'Let's see how well you handle it when there's an evil version of you running around.'. Willow's reply, 'I handled it just fine,' is a reference to the episode 'Doppelgangland' from the previous season.
