Buffy The Vampire Slayer

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.

THGhost

Bad Girls - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: When Buffy and Faith are fighting the vampires after going down the manhole, one of the vampires tries to drown Buffy. After she pretends to be dead and attacks him with a sword, her face and hair are almost bone dry.

THGhost

Helpless - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: After Xander and Oz's "Kryptonite" conversation, Buffy tosses a book onto the table and stands up to leave. The book lands partially on top of another book and slides almost off it. In the next shot the book is lying on top of the other book perfectly.

THGhost

All The Way - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: After Spike has fought with the vampire claiming to be a rebel and he is re-loading his cross bow, he is tackled by another vampire and you can hear the sound of the cross bow firing, but as he falls you can see the arrow is still loaded.

The Initiative - S4-E7

Plot hole: Spike must have had his chip implanted while he was unconcious. If so, how did he attack The Initiative scientists without any pain when he tried to escape? You could argue that they programmed him to be capable of violence within The Initiative only, but why would super smart scientists program an evil being to be able to escape at the first opportunity? Joss Whedon has acknowledged this as an oversight.

Phoebe

Superstar - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: After the group find out Jonathon cast a spell, Willow is holding a book to her chest. But in the side shot, the book is resting on her stomach and then back on her chest a few shots later.

Wild At Heart - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: When Veruca comes to Oz's cage to spend the night there, she tosses her jacket onto the round stone thingie (knob?) at the end of the stairs, and it covers the whole thing. However, when Willow discovers them in the morning and Veruca goes to pick up her jacket, you can see that it has moved. Willow didn't touch it when she entered, and both Oz and Veruca were locked up so they couldn't get anywhere near it. (00:26:35 - 00:29:20)

When She Was Bad - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In the season two episode, 'When She Was Bad', in the scene where Buffy smashes the masters skeleton with a sledge-hammer she smashes the rib cage to pieces. Suddenly the rib cage has again become completely intact and she smashes it to hell again. (00:40:35)

When She Was Bad - S2-E1

Audio problem: When Jenny and Giles are talking and Jenny is talking about the festival, they walk behind a drinks machine and then her lips don't match up with what she says.

School Hard - S2-E3

Vampire: And when I kill her, it will be the greatest event since the crucifixion. And I should know, I was there.
Spike: You were there?! If every vampire who said he was actually at the crucifixion really was there, it would've been like Woodstock!

The Yoko Factor (1) - S4-E20

Question: At the last moment before leaving for good, Angel pauses to tell Buffy "I don't like him" [Riley], to which she replies with a large smile "Thank you." Why does she take this comment surprisingly well? From an ex boyfriend to her new boyfriend? It's not like it sounds like a friendly warning of any sort, nor a joke given the tense situation between the two guys in the episode. And the smile on Buffy's face does not make her response look ironic either, more like loving/caring. Is that a cross over reference to another dialogue in the Angel series?

AnthonyA

Chosen answer: Angel is saying that he is still jealous and Buffy recognizes that this is his way of saying he wishes that they could be together. That is why they both smile.
