City Of - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: In the last scene of the episode, Angel kicks the guy out of the glass building. This guy's a vampire, and you can see his reflection in the glass windows. Vampires aren't supposed to have reflections.

Lonely Hearts - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: In the scene when Angel, a vampire, runs after the barman towards the end, after the barman has tried to pass on the demon to Kate and Angel stopped him, there is a mirror, and when Angel runs past it, he has a reflection. (00:38:20)

The Prodigal - S1-E15

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Kate finds her father dead, just after the shot of his neck wounds, she is sitting over him and you can see the father blinking a few times. (00:33:00)

Sanctuary - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: When Faith stabs and kills the demon sent to kill her, there is a brief shot when Angel picks himself up off the floor, where we can see the knife that she is holding is bent like it is made of rubber.

THGhost

War Zone - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: At the vampires' nest, when Knox is talking about Gunn's team, the vampire wearing the green sweatshirt and leather vest doesn't have yellow eyes like the other vampires do. And the female vampire doesn't either later, when the two groups face off after Gunn's sister is sired. (00:22:30 - 00:35:35)

Cubs Fan

War Zone - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: When Alonna is kidnapped, there is a vampire on the left side of the screen who is not wearing any mask over his face, though sunlight is falling on him. (00:26:00)

To Shanshu In L.A. - S1-E22

Revealing mistake: In "To Shanshu in LA" in season one, as Angel is pulling out of parking lot to follow the W&H Trucks, you can see his reflection in his rear view mirror (vampires have no reflections). Also odd that throughout the first season the rear view mirror is removed in some episodes. (00:31:19)

Judgment - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: Just after Angel kills the quan-eyed demon, he exits the room behind the smashed mirror. On the widescreen DVD you see Angel's reflection in the mirror to the right of the smashed mirror (even though vampires don't have a reflection). (00:03:40)

The Trial - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Angel fights the demon for the first of his trials, upon cutting the demon in half for the second time he chains the two halves to the walls. When he drags the upper half of the demon to the wall, the green legs of the actor are momentarily visible, when they should have been removed by CGI. (00:29:00)

Reunion - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: When Angel kicks in Lindsay's door, it opens cleanly into the room. The doorknob latch in a real door would have torn out part of the frame if it was not turned back with the doorknob first. (00:04:25)

Phoenix

Happy Anniversary - S2-E13

Revealing mistake: When Wesley accidentally turns off the power, the room briefly goes dark, then lights up with moonlight/streetlight from outside. In the real world, that light would have been visible the whole time in the background. (00:01:45)

City Of - S1-E1

Angel: Doyle, I don't want to share my feelings, I don't want to open up. I want to find the guy that killed Tina, and I want to look him in the eye.
Doyle: Then what?
Angel: Then, I'm going to share my feelings.

Trivia: In the opening credits there is a shot of a girl standing alone on the corner of a street. This was taken from the Buffy episode "Anne", when Buffy was staying in Los Angeles.

Show generally

Question: In the opening credits, just before the shot of Phantom Dennis, is the shot of the girl crying Darla? What episode is that from?

Answer: Nope, it's not Darla - that's Rachel from the episode "In The Dark", the third episode of the show (the one with Spike's magnificent opening monologue).
