I thought I would make a thread about continuity errors, since when I discover them, I like to tell people.

Theres one that always bugs me. Its in season 3, and i know wes is in it. (not sure on the episode, not seen it in a while)
But Buffy goes from resting her head on the back of her hand (like The Thinker) to resting her head on the palm of her hand, then back to leaning on the back of her hand, in the space of like 5-10 seconds.
Also, in earshot, when Buffy looks at the clock tower, time is...something. Then Buffy starts running/climbing to the clock tower, and the time has changed by hours.

This I saw yesterday when I watched Somnabulist(Angel season 1)
Quote:
PENN: We were to meet in Italy, remember?
ANGEL: I remember.
PENN: Well, I waited. Hell, I waited till the 19th century. What happened?
ANGEL: Got held up in Romania.
PENN: Romania. What’s in Romania?
ANGEL: Gypsies.
In 1898 Angel gets "help up" in Romania. So I think that Penn meant that he waited until the 20th century. Unless Angel meant that he was held up by gypsies another time...

Just one that always bothered me:
Oz scratches Willow in Fear, Itself. So technically, shouldn't she be a werewolf?

In "Angel" (the S1 "Buffy" episode), as they're leaving the hospital after Joyce had been bitten, Buffy says "I invited him into my house even after I knew what he was". No, she didn't--she invited him in before she knew what he was.
In "The Prom", this exchange:
[/u]: "Tucker Wells. He's in my chem lab."
Wesley[/u]: "Let me guess--he was quiet, kept to himself, but always seemed like a nice young man."
Oz[/u]: "He didn't seem the murderous type, anyway. Something must have happened to him."
...
Willow[/u]: Ooh! I got into Tucker's e-mail account. Listen to this message Tucker sent to this kid David Metz at school last week: 'The Sunnydale High lemmings have no idea what awaits them. Their big night will be their last night.'"
...
Buffy[/u]: "Oz, you said you know this David kid that Tucker e-mailed? Why don't you and Will track him down? See what he knows, if he's involved?"[/quote]
No, he didn't say he knew David--he said he knew Tucker.
And then, of course, the dates on the flashbacks never quite match up with previously-established things like ages, which is why I thought the whole thread in the S8 forum trying to pin down Dawn's age, and when "Chosen" happened by using touchstones from S5 of "Angel" was pretty pointless--because the writers always played fast and loose with dates and times and lengths of things...

Here's some I know of:
-In the episode "Halloween"; when Xander, Buffy, Cordelia and Angel are in Buffy's home. How did a vamp get in Buffy's house without an invite? I know it was a vamp because Angel asked Buffy to get him a stake.
-In "Teacher's Pet" when Ms. French is eating her bug sandwhich her sleeves are down, and when it shows a close up her sleeves are rolled up.
-In"Goodbye Iowa" when Buffy puts her scarf on Riley's hand, and then in a few seconds later when they're still talking on the bed there it is in her hair again, and two seconds later it's gone again.
-In Earshot when Xander and Buffy are sitting on a couch in school Xander puts his arm up on top of the sofa. But it different takes you can see his arm down, and then up again the next second. You would think the people who edit the episode would have noticed that mistake.
-Also in Earshot, a really bad stunt double for the lunch lady too. The person looked like they were 50-75 pounds lighter.
-Sunnydale has docks/ships in it, yet when they show the big hole at the end of Chosen it's in the middle of a desert. Not near a coastline.

The stunt double thing always gets to me. The Earshot one is just terrible, it's a freaking 140 pound man, instead of a 300 pound woman. Another one that always cracked me up is the Angel stunt double in Becoming Part 2 during the sword fight. It's funny watching Angel's hairline going up 3 inches and back down every 10 seconds  |

I agree. The stunt double cover up is laughable. It's hard not to think about it during EVERY fight scene. Just one that always bothered me: Oz scratches Willow in Fear, Itself. So technically, shouldn't she be a werewolf? Fangs or claws? Because I'm pretty sure only fang-scratches counts. Thanks for clearing that up!  |

"I invited him into my home....even after I knew who he was what he was and I didn't do anything about it ...."
What I got from this quote was that she invited him into her home, and even after knowing who and what he truly was,knowing the truth she still had invited him in and the damage had been done, and she couldn't bring herself to do what had to be done

Spike's stunt double is bad too, you can clearly tell when it's him fighting instead of James.

i think the reason angel was coming over again (and finding darla with joyce) was after buffy must have found him and invited him over again.
in order for buffy to have invited angel over again after she learned he was a vampire... at some point between the buffy/joyce "shadow" dialog and when angel comes over again, buffy would have had to see angel again in between those scenes--we just didn't see it. it would explain why angel was coming over, pauses at the front door, hears a scream and runs to the kitchen doorway. he must have assumed buffy was already home and was coming over to see her when he heard joyce scream.
in a deleted scene, joyce says that she thinks she heard mice upstairs all day. angel didn't hide from joyce because he was a vampire... rather because he wasn't supposed to have stayed the night.
the episode has 3 rather large deleted scenes (buffy scooping up her rushed dinner for angel, extended "angel's a vampire!" school dialog with xander and buffy telling joyce to eat her vegetables when she gets out of the hospital), but none that fill up that plot hole that quite clearly we are supposed to assume happened.
again, with the wanting of deleted scenes that were shot and cut for time to be reedited in.

The shows has a lot of these. But I mean, which don't?
The main one (not filming error) is that The First touches Angel in season three yet isn't corporeal in season seven.

My main issue is the inconsistency of the vampire make-up. I get experimenting, but after a few seasons, I dislike being surprised about how Spike look when vamped.

Vamp makeup was bad, I do agree on that. The worst example of vampire makeup is the episode "City Of", some really bad choices there.

One thing that really bugs me is how when Spike got a soul, he was still Spike, there was no difference at all. Angel is COMPLETELY different. I mean, Angel was cursed with his soul and Spike fought for his, but should there really be a difference. A soul is a soul. Spike should be acting like a broody William, shouldn't he?

I think he should have been more quilty, even after his revelation in Damage, were he is atleast a bit sorry. Other than that... I guess he's just that kind of guy who can shake things of.

Well technically you're right, he SHOULD have acted differently. Thing is though, we were originally introduced to Spike as a vampire, which is why he had such die hard fans. If Joss and Co. had made Spike act completely different when he received his soul, Spike's hardcore fan base would have taken a hit. I would have liked to see Spike's attitude and stuff change, but that is simply because I am not a huge fan of Spike (although After the Fall has allowed me to like the character again). In terms of what should of happened, yeah, Spike should have acted differently. But if you look at it from the production side of things, then it's easier to understand why Spike wasn't that different when he was ensouled. |
