Tough Love - S5-E19
Continuity mistake: In season 5, 'Tough Love', Glory crushes Tara's hand causing her blood to drip onto the bench. In later shots however, there is no blood on the bench, it is clean. (00:25:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When the knights start advancing in the bottom right corner of the screen you can see a crew member wearing a red plaid shirt just standing there.
Visible crew/equipment: When Ben arrives in his car and discovers the Knights of Byzantium, the shadow of a camera on a crane can be seen in the bottom left corner of the screen as he pulls up.
Continuity mistake: The shape of the hole in the aluminium foil in the Winnebago's windshield changes shape several times throughout the course of the episode.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode when Glory gets hit by a truck, she lands on the roof of a car twice.
Revealing mistake: Watch the shot of Glory as she is hit by the truck at the beginning of the episode (easier to see in slow-mo/frame-by-frame). She isn't hit by the truck at all. It goes right past her. A simple optical illusion used in filmmaking for decades.
The Weight Of The World - S5-E21
Continuity mistake: When Glory is griping about human emotion, her arms change between wide shots and closeups. (00:23:00)
The Weight Of The World - S5-E21
Continuity mistake: When Glory challenges Dawn to name one person who can cope with life on earth, there is a close up of Dawn answering "Buffy". In this shot, the black mark (where she has been annointed) that is there before and after, has completely disappeared. (00:24:05)
Continuity mistake: In the last episode of Season 5 we see Spike thrown off the tower by Doc. Spike somehow manages to change from black trousers and boots into blue jeans and white shoes mid-air. He's back in black by the time he hits the ground. (00:35:45)
Visible crew/equipment: When Willow does her spell to save Tara, you can see the black pad Tara falls/ stands on.
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.
