Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Go Fish - S2-E20

Other mistake: After Gage turns into a monster and fights Buffy, the two monsters slide into an open grate. During the shot, there's some sort of weird "glitch" in the background where the garbage can and wall seem to slightly move. All I can assume is that a few frames were trimmed to speed up the shot and it may have exaggerated subtle camera movement, making the background appear to "jump" slightly.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Willow, and Cordy are talking at the swim meet (after Gage waves at Buffy), the way Buffy is holding her hands changes back and forth between two positions as it cuts between her and Cordy. Seems two different takes were used, and she had her hands in slightly different positions in them.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy kicks Angelus, suddenly his arm is up in the air instantly between cuts. It seems like two different takes of the kick were used, and in one, he flung his arm up.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is spying on Gage, she picks up a magazine to blend in. A few shots later, she's suddenly holding a completely different magazine. She didn't pick up a different one between cuts. It's supposed to be the same one.

Audio problem: When Xander finds Cameron's skin, he is gasping and puts his hand over his mouth. The audio of him gasping, however, isn't muffled at all as it would be if he had his hand over his mouth, revealing it was looped in after the fact.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: After Willow says that the student was killed by being opened up like an Oreo "except without the chocolaty cookie goodness," Buffy's hands go from together to apart instantly between cuts. She then puts her hands back together only for them to be apart again in the next shot.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is complaining to the others about getting in trouble over hurting Cameron in the library, her hands go back and forth from down by her sides to holding her hips between cuts a few times.

Continuity mistake: When Cameron is about to say "You like it rough" to Buffy near the start, you can tell he's starting to reach for her. It then cuts to the opposite angle and he starts to reach for her a second time.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is talking to Cameron in his car near the start, the amount of light on Cameron's face coming through the windshield changes between cuts a few times. Sometimes the top is up over his eyes, sometimes it's down by his nose, etc. Also, depending on the angle, sometimes there's a purple glow on his face and sometimes not.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy and the guy are talking at the beach in the beginning, right before they hear a voice scream "Somebody help me!", the guy starts to turn to look at the tide. However, in the next shot, he's instantly facing Buffy again and then turns to face the tide a second time.

Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Xander, Willow and Cordy are checking Ted's underground "apartment" and Xander opens the door, he goes from holding his flashlight down by his side to up by his head instantly between cuts.

Ted - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Buffy knocks Ted down the stairs, the camera angle gives away the fact that the last two kicks Buffy hits him with don't come close to hitting him.

Ted - S2-E11

Deliberate mistake: The second time Buffy and Ted fight, Buffy stabs Ted with a nail-file and exposes circuitry under Ted's skin, revealing he's a robot. However, the "wound" on Ted's arm is far too huge to have been exposed by a single stab from a nail-file.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy's mom sets down the carton of orange juice on the table after the golf trip, watch closely. The continuity is nightmarish. The carton rotates multiple times between cuts. The cap is on, then off, then back on again between cuts. And Buffy's mom's hand keeps moving on and off the carton between cuts.

Ted - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After the mini-golf scene, Buffy comes down to her kitchen. Her mother greets her and sets down a carton of orange juice. In the first shot, her mother is holding the carton with both hands. But in the next shot as she sets it down, she only has one hand on the carton.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Willow are talking at the school near the beginning in front of the vending machine, watch the way Buffy is holding her pink binder. First she's holding it to her side, but shifts it in front of her chest. Instantly, in the next shot it's back by her side. Then it's back in front of her chest again.

Touched - S7-E20

Spike: You listen to me. [Kneels in front of her.] I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: you. [Buffy looks away; he reaches toward her face.] Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say, "I love you, " it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.
Buffy: [Quietly.] I don't wanna be the one.

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.
