Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when the Scooby gang and Giles are talking in the cafeteria and Giles asks Xander to help him, in the first shot Xander doesn't have his hand on his drink, but when the shot cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly he has his right hand grasping the dop of his drink.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Cordelia's date is in the locker room and he talks to two other students, pay attention. There's a combination lock and a baseball bat on top of the lockers. They change positions repeatedly between cuts, getting closer and further apart almost at random depending on the shot.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Cordelia is talking about hitting the girl on a bike with her car and the bell rings, pay attention to Willow's hands. As it cuts from the front angle to the back angle, Willow's hands instantly change positions. (In the first shot, her hands are together, but in the next, her arms are crossed in different directions).

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: This is subtle and hard to notice. When the teacher is giving a lecture in the beginning, she says "Ok, so talk to me people " and starts to turn and walk to her right. When the camera cuts, she starts to turn and walk to her right a second time. It goes by fast, so it's kinda hard to see.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Buffy falls down after the Master bites her, you can see her fall, then hear her hit the dry ground. But then a few shots later she falls again and this time into water.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Plot hole: Angel says he cannot give Buffy mouth-to-mouth because vampires have "no breath." However, throughout the entire series, vampires are shown to breathe, and are able to do things like smoke, gasp, get choked out, etc. (Granted, the franchise also confirms a vampire cannot die from asphyxiation, but still they're shown to breathe regularly).

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Deliberate mistake: When Willow and Jenny go out to the parking lot only to discover vampires converging on the school, pay attention to the extras. You can make out some of the same extras in different shots coming from different directions. (Most notably, you can see a woman in a long black-and-white skirt coming from the direction of the parking lot, then a few shots later, she's suddenly over in the football field coming from there.) They obviously reused extras in different shots to "pad out" the crowds.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Giles and Jenny are talking about Buffy, Giles says "We must get in touch with this Brother Luca chap!" watch Giles. In the first shot he's still reaching towards the top of the cabinet. Instantly in the next shot, he's in the middle pulling something down from the top of the cabinet.

Prophecy Girl - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is consoling Willow after she discovered the dead students, as Buffy leaves the room, Willow's mouth is open and she looks down. It then cuts to a wideshot. Instantly, Willow's mouth is closed and she's staring forward, and she looks down a second time.

School Hard - S2-E3

Vampire: And when I kill her, it will be the greatest event since the crucifixion. And I should know, I was there.
Spike: You were there?! If every vampire who said he was actually at the crucifixion really was there, it would've been like Woodstock!

The Yoko Factor (1) - S4-E20

Question: At the last moment before leaving for good, Angel pauses to tell Buffy "I don't like him" [Riley], to which she replies with a large smile "Thank you." Why does she take this comment surprisingly well? From an ex boyfriend to her new boyfriend? It's not like it sounds like a friendly warning of any sort, nor a joke given the tense situation between the two guys in the episode. And the smile on Buffy's face does not make her response look ironic either, more like loving/caring. Is that a cross over reference to another dialogue in the Angel series?

Chosen answer: Angel is saying that he is still jealous and Buffy recognizes that this is his way of saying he wishes that they could be together. That is why they both smile.
