Checkpoint - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: In the series 5 episode 'Checkpoint' when Buffy has just accidently axed the dummy, watch her blindfold. It goes from being pushed up above her forehead on her hair, to being right down by her eyes. This changes between every shot. (00:27:55)
Blood Ties - S5-E13
Continuity mistake: In the first scene of the episode, just after the teaser, the Scoobies are gathered around the table at Giles' magic shop. During the second part of the scene, we can see Anya is alternatively lying her arms under or above the table depending on the camera angle, whether from behind or facing her. (00:01:55 - 00:03:15)
Blood Ties - S5-E13
Continuity mistake: When Ben brings him and Dawn some hot chocolate, the cups containing the hot chocolate are in fact two cups, one inside the other, making a total of four separate cups. But once Ben reveals that he is in fact Glory, Dawn's two cups have suddenly changed to just one cup.
Revealing mistake: When the porter is dragged back onto the train at the start you can see (more obviously if you watch in slow motion) that there's absolutely nothing grabbing him, not even someone's shadow. (00:04:55)
I Was Made To Love You - S5-E15
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Buffy is sitting on the swing set with April, she tells April that Warren was proud of her and didn't mean to hurt her. Before she tells her this, April's hair is in front of one of the chains of her swing on the right side of her face. But after Buffy tells her, her hair is behind the chain of the swing.

Audio problem: When Spike arrives at the magic shop with a burning blanket over his head, he throws it to the ground and stomps on it, yelling, "Fire! Fire!" As he yells "Fire! Fire!" however, his lips aren't moving.
I Was Made To Love You - S5-E15
Revealing mistake: When Giles pushes Spike into the cabinet at the magic shop, you can see Spike's reflection in the glass of the cabinet's doors. But Spike is a vampire and therefore should have no reflection.
Visible crew/equipment: After Buffy walks outside to hear the sirens, in the close up of Buffy's face on the upper right corner of the screen you can see a boom mike. (00:06:30)
Visible crew/equipment: Buffy and the gang are in the waiting room after being told the cause of Joyce's death.

Some frames later it appears again as Dawn leaves to "pee" and the camera zooms out. (00:32:55)
Visible crew/equipment: When Tara says "take care, Dawn" and the shot changes All The Way to the left, you can see a crew member just sitting there.
Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy is sitting on her bed, you can see the edge of the set at the top of the screen.
Chosen answer: "So goes the nation" seems to have been used on many occasions, with various different US states in the "As .... goes" section. Most commonly it seems to be California that's considered to lead the way, but probably most other states have appeared in the lead role at some point or another. Other things have also been used - no less a person that Pope John Paul II said "As the family goes, so goes the nation...". The origin of the quote format is unclear - in US politics it goes back into the 19th century, when it was Maine that held the title spot, but, while no definitive origin is known, it seems highly likely that it goes back considerably further than that.
