As You Were - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: When we see Xander and Anya going over the seating arrangements for their wedding, Xander is eating from a large sack of crisps. During the conversation Anya takes them off him, he takes them back and places the bag next to him. We see the bag after Xander puts it down, and in a closeup shot of him, the front of the bag is facing upwards. But when Dawn comes in, the front of the bag is facing downwards - barcode and ingredients are visible.

Normal Again - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: After Buffy decides not to take the antidote to the demon's venom, we cut to a scene at the mental institution. The doctor talks to her about ridding her mind of the things that support her "hallucinations". As he talks to her about this, the position of his hands change from pressed together in front of him to in his pockets between shots.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Emily finds her Grandma's diary, she leaves a message on Cal's phone about them having lunch together. As she hangs up, her fringe is tied back behind her right ear and falls down in front of her face, but in the next shot it is back behind her ear.

Fool Me Once - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Beckett goes to the bathroom to read Castle's book and Castle peers over the top of the cubical to tell her what page the sex scene is on, she is holding the book with her fingers between the pages dividing the book into 2 sections. These 2 sections switch to 3 and then back to 2 between shots.

Gone - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: After Doris from Social Services leaves Buffy's house and Spike leaves after her, he takes his lighter out of Buffy's pocket. But earlier in the episode when everyone was packing away all of Willow's magic stuff, Buffy finds Spike's lighter and puts it in one of the boxes.

Tabula Rasa - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: When Buffy and Spike (as Joan and Randy) are fighting Bro'os vampires, Buffy kicks down a post box to stake one of them. The pole supporting the post box breaks away at a jagged angle. But when she uses it to stake one of the vampires the end that she uses has suddenly changed to the traditional triangular point, only to return to its original jagged angle immediately afterwards. The shot of her staking the vampire is not a side angle of some uneven ends. Watch as she backs away from the vampire after he's been staked, it is a fully triangular point.

Bargaining (2) - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: In the alleyway scene after the real Buffy kills all the Hellions (biker demons) and runs off, one of the Hellions can be seen getting up behind Xander. We then see a closeup shot of the Hellion opening its eyes while still lying on the ground and then they stand up and sneak up behind Xander again.

Intervention - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: When the gang are fighting Glory's minions, one of them knocks Giles to the ground and then tries to choke him. As Giles hits the ground he lands facing downwards so we can't see his face. But when the minion is chocking him in the shot immediately afterward, he is suddenly facing upwards.

I Was Made To Love You - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Buffy is sitting on the swing set with April, she tells April that Warren was proud of her and didn't mean to hurt her. Before she tells her this, April's hair is in front of one of the chains of her swing on the right side of her face. But after Buffy tells her, her hair is behind the chain of the swing.
