Corrections

Show season: Whole show 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 All

Across whole show

Once a human has been bitten by a vampire, it seems that the time it takes to change into a vampire is very aleatory. Most of the time, it happens once buried, but other times (like episode "Helpless") it's only a few minutes/hours later, and some other times, it's even a few days later. [Since the transformation requires that the victim drink the blood of the vampire, the time of transformation could be relative to the amount of blood taken from the vampire. Since we never actually are told how much blood or exactly how much time it would be hard to know exactly.]

Time

During Season 2 we see that after Angelus has killed Drusilla, but before she has risen, he is cursed. However in later seasons it is shown that the two of them, as well as Darla and Spike, wreak havoc all across Europe, so somehow the time line was changed just to further a storyline. [Angel is cursed well after Drusilla and Spike are made into vampires. The woman Angel is shown killing right before he gets cursed is a gypsy, not Drusilla.]

Time

How does Angel maintain an apartment in the first two seasons, complete with furnishings and a few antiquities? He has no job of which we are aware, so no source of income. He was living on the streets when he came to Los Angeles, so he would have had very few possessions (certainly no relics from his global travels). And with a soul, he wouldn't have hurt or killed anyone to acquire money, possessions, or the apartment. [There are many possible explanations which render this mistake invalid. For an example: The owner of the building may be aware of the types of baddies Buffy fights. Perhaps Angel offered the landlord protection against such foes in exchange for a place to live. As for his possessions, I've no doubt he had them stashed somewhere, perhaps in various crypts here and there.]

Corrected by Phixius Time

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Buffy's kitchen door changes the side it's opened from across the show. [With the amount of damage done in that house during Buffy's various fights, it's not unreasonable to think that the door has been removed and re-hung at least once.]

Time

Prophecy Girl (series 1)

The Master is described as a vampire, albeit a very old one, but when staked, his skeleton remains so that it can be used in the next series. Why doesn't it turn to dust like every other vampire? [The Master is the oldest vampire known - thats exactly why. He's so old, his body is too powerful to simply collapse into dust with the poke of a piece of wood. This was actually stated in one episode of Buffy, although not in such mundane terms.]

Time

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight (series 1)

In 'Out of Mind, Out of Sight' Giles says that it's a lack of people noticing her added to the mystical strength of the Hellmouth that turned Marcy invisible, but at the end of the episode it's revealed that there's a whole classroom of people who have turned invisible. How did all of them turn invisible without the Hellmouth's influence? [At the end of the series you learn that there are other Hellmouths. Giles even states that there's one in Cleveland.]

Corrected by MoonFaery Time

When Angel is speaking to Giles in the library about the book of prophecy, he is standing in direct sunlight through the window. [Though it appears to be a window due to the angle of the shot, it is in fact a square light, and it can be seen through an actual window that it is night time.]

Time

The Puppet Show (series 1)

How come the other performers seem to have disappeared during the climactic fight between the Scoobies and the Demon in the Puppet Show? Come to think of it, why are the audience so quiet too? [They were getting ready to go on, and as for the audience they were waiting for the show to start.]

Time

I Robot, You Jane (series 1)

How does Buffy manage to follow Dave to the CRD building so easily when he's driving and she isn't? Even with Buffy's superspeed she can't run as fast as a car - she would lose Dave in a few minutes. [We don't know the route Dave took from the high school to CRD. Dave has to follow the rules of the road such as stopping at red lights & not endangering other road users. Buffy can also use short cuts such as cutting through gardens & other types of property.]

Time

Angel (series 1)

In the episode "Angel" in series one, in the best tradition of old Western movies, Darla seems to have a limitless supply of bullets in the final shoot out - despite never reloading her guns. [She fires less than thirty shots and each of her two guns has fifteen. Angel stakes her before she needs to reload.]

Time

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date (series 1)

In 'Never Kill A Boy On The First Date' Giles says he has no instruction manual, but it's later revealed in 'What's My Line' that there's a Slayer Handbook. [Giles tells Buffy that HE has no instruction manual. The Slayer Handbook is for the Slayer, not the Watcher.]

Time

Teacher's Pet (series 1)

At the end of the episode, "Teachers Pet," Buffy picks Dr. Gregory's glasses from off the floor, opens the closet where his lab coat is hanging and places the glasses in the pocket. As she closes the door, the camera moves to the bottom of the closet and you can see about four or five bug eggs, one of them cracks open and then the show ends. What happened with the eggs? [We don't know, but there are numerous possibilities. The simplest one is that without the care of their mother, the eggs or the newborns were not able to survive.]

Time

Witch (series 1)

When Cordelia see one of the girls trying out for the cheerleading squad, she makes the comment "Who does she think she is, a Laker Girl?", Charisma Carpenter was a Laker Girl in real life. [She was a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers, which makes this not really trivia.]

Corrected by Maria Santos Time

The Harvest (2) (series 1)

Cordelia tells Buffy there's no cover charge to get into the Bronze, but later that episode, right before the vampires attack the Bronze, the bouncer is taking money from people on their way in. [The bouncer demands ID from the approaching vampire pack and gets upset when they don't show him any, but he didn't get any ID from Buffy or other patrons. It's possible that the bouncer has an understood relationship with underage clubgoers: pass over some cash instead of ID. Buffy would have learned about this earlier from Cordelia (after Cordelia insulted Willow but before Buffy went to speak to her).]

Time

On the night of the Harvest, Cordelia says that she is going to the Bronze - its a Friday. Strangely enough, everyone seems to be back at school the next day - a Saturday. [There is nothing in the school scene after the Harvest stating that it is the following day. It could be the Monday.]

Time

When Buffy is gathering supplies in her bedroom, we see all of the usual vampire fighting supplies, such as crosses, holy water, and stakes. In addition to these, she has a jar of communion wafers. What are these supposed to do against a vampire? [According to Dracula and other legends, the Host repulses vampires just like crosses do (though there is no evidence that they actually harm them, perhaps explaining why they are not seen anywhere else on the show).]

Time

The stake Xander uses to kill Jesse disappears immediately afterward. It's not in Xander's hand, but if it was buried in Jesse's chest it would have clattered to the ground as he turned to dust. [If a stake in in a vampires chest & not touching another person then the stake also turns to dust (this has happened to various other vampires in the series).]

Time

Welcome To The Hellmouth (1) (series 1)

In Welcome to the Hellmouth when Buffy is looking for the vampire with Willow, she snaps a leg off a chair. However, when she tries to stake Cordelia with it, it has magically turned into a proper stake. [No it isn't - you can see it in the shot on Buffy's face when she is pinning Cordelia - the stake tip is slanted like the table leg.]

Time

Becoming (2) (series 2)

In the episode 'Becoming, Part 2' Spike uses a choke hold to subdue Drusilla. What good is a choke hold on a vampire who doesn't breath or have a blood flow to the brain that could be cut off? [From the buffyguide.com FAQ; 'Vampires do not need to breathe air in order to stay alive. However, like food, vampires do breathe and can do things that require breathing, like talking or smoking. If a vampire is deprived of air for enough time, they will pass out from 'suffocation', but there has never been an incidence of a vampire dying from lack of air. Also, when a vampire breathes in air, *something* happens to it that makes it unusable for CPR, which is why Angel could not save Buffy in Prophecy Girl.]

Time

How did Buffy know in 'Becoming, Part 2' that it was Drusilla who killed Kendra? Everyone in the library but Kendra was unconcious by the time she entered. [Angelus was fighting Buffy & as far as everyone knew Spike was in a wheelchair, So Buffy is assuming that Angelus would send the strongest vampire he had to make sure the fight went his way.]
