Becoming (2) (series 2)

Entry In Becoming Pt 2, Willow is in a coma due to head trauma, and hospitalized. I'm not a doctor, but wouldn't a coma patient in a hospital be hooked up to some machines, at least an IV? When she is shown in the hospital bed, she isn't hooked up to anything at all. [It is possible to be in a coma without needing to be on life suport. She is obviously not in an ICU, so she probably doesn't need any machines to keep her alive.]

Becoming (1) (series 2)

Entry Why would Willow choose the school of all places to do the spell to restore Angel's soul in 'Becoming'? Wouldn't it have made more sense to do it in someone's house, seeing as how the vampires were free to enter the school and attack but would have been kept out of their houses. [They were already at the school and didn't know of the vampire raid so there's no reason they should have realised to do it somewhere else.]
Entry In 'Becoming' when Buffy leaves to meet Angelus in the graveyard she takes Kendra's stake, Mr. Pointy, with her. Later on that night when she slays a vampire outside her house she uses a totally different stake. [Buffy probably keeps more than one stake on her anyway, and Mr. Pointy wasn't part of her normal armaments. Plus, she might be attaching sentimental importance to dead Kendra's stake.]
Entry Willow had a head trauma, and a big bandage on the front of her head. Problem with that is when the bookcase fell on her it never hit her head, far from it in fact. If she did injure her head the injury would be on the back of her head, from where she hit the floor. [Willow fell facedown on the floor, with the bookcase landing on top of her. So the bandage on her head is from landing on the ground, not the actual bookcase.]
Entry In the season 5 episode 'Fool For Love' Drusilla and Spike mention how amazing a Slayer's blood is - far better than any other kind (a point repeated by many other vampires during the course of the show), so why in 'Becoming Part 1' did Drusilla not drain Kendra after she slit her throat? As far as she knew she was in no hurry, so why did she pass up on the best blood in the world? [In talking about Jenny's death earlier in the season, Joss Whedon said that Angel broke her neck as a way of saying she wasn't good enough to eat. Since Drusilla had no trouble fighting Kendra, Drusilla might have felt that there wasn't enough glory in the kill, and there'd be no point in feeding off a slayer that didn't put up much of a fight.]

Go Fish (series 2)

Entry In this episode, Buffy is protecting Gage, one of the swimmers she believes is targeted by the monster. At school she watches him from a chair, acting like she is reading a magazine. The first time we see this, her magazine is upside down, but in the next shot, it is a different magazine and is also right-side up. [It is suppose to be upside down.When she turns back to the magazine, her face crunches up in confusion when she realizes it's upside down- that's why Gage laughs at her and shakes his head when he notices she's watching because it's upside down. So she grabs another one.]

I Only Have Eyes For You (series 2)

Entry How does Giles know that Jenny was murdered in the school? He found the body in his apartment, so as far as he knew she could have been killed anywhere. [But the computer lab at school where Jenny had been working had been smashed to bits and set on fire, so the logical solution was that there had been a fight there. And it was pretty evident who won the fight.]

Passion (series 2)

Entry When Angelus Kills Jenny Calander, he arranges her in Giles' house. Having re-watched series one and two a few times I've still not been able to find the episode where Giles invites Angel into his house. [That doesn't mean it didn't happen. There is no evidence to suggest that he never invited him in. Episodes rarely start exactly where the last left off, so there was ample time in between episodes for this to occur.]

Surprise (1) (series 2)

Entry At the end of the episode 'Surprise' Angel runs out into the street where it's raining heavily, but in the same street a few minutes later, at the start of the episode 'Innocence', the ground and Angel are both completely dry. [Not until Angel morphs to vamp face, and even then, its only him that is dry, the streets are still wet.]

What's My Line? (1) (series 2)

Entry In the episode 'What's My Line Part 1' Spike says the ritual to restore Drusilla's health must be done on the night of a full moon, but in 'What's My Line Part 2' Giles says the ritual will take place on the night of a new moon. [Spike never describes the ritual in "What's My Line Part 1," except to say that Angel is the "missing link."]

Halloween (series 2)

Entry In the season two episode 'Halloween' only the people who got their costumes from Ethan's store are meant to change into what they are dressed as when the spell is cast. However, Xander changes, despite having told the girls in an earlier scene that he got his fatigues from an army surplus store - not from Ethan's [He bought the toy gun at Ethan's and it had the curse.]
Entry When the gang are in Buffy's house and she sees the picture of herself standing alone, instead of saying the line "I would never wear that low apparel" she fluffs her line and said "I would never wear this that low apparel" The shot changes between the words "this" and "that" so it looks like they tried to cut out the mistake in words but didn't succeed. [The line, written with pauses, goes "I would never wear this. That low apparel...", at which point Buffy trails off in disbelief. It isn't a fluffed line, it is an attempt to convey confusion delivered a little too fast.]
Entry After Buffy smashes Larry into the vending machine, a Diet Dr Pepper comes out. However you can see in earlier shots that there is no button for Diet Dr Pepper. [All it takes is for the person stocking the machine to place the wrong drink in the machine for this to happen. I've worked at one place where you never got what you ordered from the machine because the supplier kept stocking it wrong.]

Reptile Boy (series 2)

Entry Why did the frat boys bother kidnapping a girl at least a week before the ceremony? They apparently don't care if the sacrifices are connected to each other and had no trouble attracting women to their frat house. [They only choose certain girls for Machida - although their criteria are never explicitly stated, the fact that Tom is desperate for Buffy to go suggests that they pick their victims carefully rather than just dragging in some random girl at the party. If they specifically wanted Callie for the sacrifice it would make sense to grab her the first chance they got, even if that meant holding her captive for a week.]
Entry The frat house is a place of residence. Angel should not be able to enter without an invitation. [The frat boys wouldn't own the frat house which seems to be a factor in deciding if a vampire can enter a residence. Sunday & her vampire followers could get into Buffys room when she was at the university without an invite.]

Inca Mummy Girl (series 2)

Entry When Xander and Ampata are attacked by the bodyguard on the bleachers, Xander's bag is knocked over and rolls down about 4 rows. Seconds later, when they stand up to run away, the bag is right beside his feet again. [When they are attacked the bag rolls down a few rows but then the bodyguard knocks Xander a few rows down so he would be equal with the bag when he gets up.]

School Hard (series 2)

Entry In School Hard, season 2, Spike says that Angel was his sire. However, in a later series with flashbacks to the 19th centuary, they show Drusilla turning Spike into a vamp. [Joss Whedon himself said; 'I believe it was in 1850 that Angel made Drusilla and then Drusilla made Spike. Now, this is where it gets confusing for everybody, your sire can mean anybody in the line that made you. So, Drusilla is Spike's sire, but so is Angel in the sense that Angel made Drusilla and Drusilla made Spike. If we were being more literal we would call him a grandsire, but that term does not exist in the vampire world, so sire just means somebody that you are connected to because they came before you on the line. By that reckoning you could say that Darla is Spike's sire since she made Angel.']
Entry In the scene where Spike is introduced, one vampire boasts, "When I kill the slayer, it will be the greatest event since the crucifixion." But slayers die every 5-10 years, and have for millenia. What makes killing Buffy special enough to warrant this? [Since Buffy has been called to Sunnydale because there is a Hellmouth there, killing her will give the vamps and demons the chance to open the Hellmouth, and we all know what happens after that.]

Some Assembly Required (series 2)

Entry Even if Darryl Epps was too ashamed to show his face in public after being resurrected, surely he and Chris would tell their mother to stop her grieving for her son? [(Tell her what? your son is a zombie? He's not dead anymore but he's supposed to be... that'd go over well).]

When She Was Bad (series 2)

Entry When Angel and Xander are pulling in the people hanging upside down, there is a shot of Willow and she blinks even though she is supposed to be unconscious. [Being unconscious does not prevent blinking, it actually requires effort not to blink.]
