Maybe she didn't drink because that would upset the audience too much. Joss didn't want us to cry  I think the scene would have been less tragic and more gross if she'd drunk, so that's why the writers didn't make her do that. But yes, I think she didn't have time to drink. After all, she didn't know when Bufy would be back. I agree, seeing dru drink would have ruined the scene it was so emotional and near perfect for what it was if she had drank it would have become disturbing and icky. I also agree that she had a job to do and no time to waste ending the world would have seemed much more exiting than getting a little intoxicated from a slayer. |

So Buffy drinking before Season 6 is...illegal. But hey, the girl breaks into army bases to steal rocket launchers. So, perspective. Epic post. |

When the was bad, Buffy, Season 2.
In one scene Buffy is riding in the car with Joyce, gaving one outfit on. Other scene, she's in school, new outfit, new hair do. In a later scene, she has the same clothes and hairdo as in the first scene I mentioned.
I guess that they edited the ep in a different way than originaly intended and hoped that we wouldn't notice the wardrobe thing. I think this way is better than the intended way, specially with the background song (It doesn't matter), but still. I mean, Buffy using the same style twice, so close to each other time-wise? Puh-lease.

Here's one I noticed while watching Supersymmetry last night.
When Fred introduces her evil professor, she says that he was the reason she wasn't a history major, which is in undergraduate schooling. Later in the episode, she is yelling at him with the crossbow and asking him why he was intimidated by his grad students. So, this would lead one to think that she attended both undergrad and grad school at UCLA.
Later, in A Hole in the World, the scene is shown where she is saying goodbye to her parents and saying something like "I'm gonna show them at UCLA's grad school....something or other" so it would appear as though she didn't go there to begin with.
Just a little thing, but I noticed.

Well... I just look past continuity errors. People make mistakes. It happens. I envy you. -EDIT Just saw School Hard. I think it's weird that in one shot, they have Buffy & Willow studying at a table at the Bronze, books covering the whole table, then they dance, Spike gets Buffy out into the alley, Xander runs for a stake, which is in a black purse/bag that can now be found on a completely empty table ('cept for the purse). In the first shot, we can see the table with Buffy's sweater on it with something black beneath, possibly the purse. Was that Willow's purse and Buffy's had been left on another table? Isn't that a bit unsafe?(We know that it's not Xander's bag, because there's a tampon in the shot where Xander tries to find a stake). It's weird, I'll tell you that. Maybe not an error, but still. What's also weird? Buffy hearing that a person is in danger, rushing out to save the day, but first going back to her table to fetch her sweater. It's not that cold in California. |

i may have posted this before, but in Lies My Parents Told Me, Spike goes into Wood's computer/cross room without an invitation. and in Spiral (I THINK) when buffy is runing away from Glory and carrying dawn, you can clearly tell dawn's a puppet, her head does like a total whiplash which in reality would break her neck.

The computer/cross room wasn't a home though... it was a shed/shack thing that Wood fixed up. Vampires can enter barns without an invite (Angel and Darla once hid in a barn, until Darla took off and left Angel to face the angry mob himself), so I don't see how a shed is any different.

Oh boy! I rewatch the series about twice a year so believe when I say I have some that bother the crap out of me.
-To add to the Anya's personality thing, I don't believe this is an error, because I believe that being a vengeance demon comes with being able to blend in with the world around them. Hallie acts much different around Anya when she's a demon than when she speaks to Dawn at the school.
-That is a huge error that Anya hadn't ever met Angel when she clearly did in Dopplegangland but I suppose you can use the excuse that she never got his name.
-In Season 8, its stated that when Warren is flayed alive, Amy kept him alive with her magic and when he was burnt away, that was Amys work. Wouldn't Willow have noticed this?
-In Season 4, can't remember the exact ep, when Buffy, Xander and Willow go looking for clues about Adam, they find a demon strung up in the woods by Adam. Before Buffy finds this, she rounds a tree. You can clearly see a crew member standing there with a boom mic before moving out of the picture. And I don't mean you have to watch close to catch it, HIS WHOLE BODY is in the center of the screen. How does someone let that air on tv?
-It does bother me when I watch Spiral because it is extremely obvious that Buffy is holding a puppet rather than an actual person.
-In Showtime, right after the break before the Turok-Han breaks through Buffys front door, you can clearly see the cord which is attached to the door in order to "rip" it from its hinges.
-Although Joss has stated that the overall message was more important that continuity, how is it that one Turok-Han was able to beat the living s**t out of Buffy yet the Potentials hardly had a problem when seeing them in the sewers and in Chosen, Giles, Robin, Xander, Dawn, etc are able to handle them easily.
-In S7, how come before Chosen everytime the Seal was opened, a Turok-Han immediately came out yet Buffy and the girls open it up in Chosen and go down some steps to some unaware turok-hans?
-Buffy has lived in Sunnydale for seven years. Seven years people. How is it that she never noticed the temple which the Guardian awaited in???
-Was Amy and Warren the only two that were left in Sunnydale when the Hellmouth was destroyed? Or did Buffy and Spike murder countless innocents?
-Clem was a good friend to Buffy and Spike. Buffy trusted Dawn with Clem. Why would Clem help Harmony make such a bad image for Slayers?
-i had to add this...Adams thin arm houses a machine gun? Really?
-Why is Buffys birthday on the computer in "I Robot...You Jane" different from the rest of the seasons? And how exactly did they aquire a beautiful portrait of Buffy to add to her file?
-Why exactly did the gang not see a vampire the whole time Buffy was away between S1 and S2?
-Why is it stated numerous times between S1-S3 that nothing out of the ordinary happened before Buffy arrived? The Hellmouth was there...so? This is then contradicted by Jonathon in the Prom when he states that the class of 99 has the lowest mortality rate ever.
-Where did Dawn go to school ?? Sunnydale High was no longer there.. Did she go to the same town where apparently the beach/dock is? As this isn't seen in Chosen!?

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? 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. I think that Spike, being somewhat of a different sort of vampire, should not have changed his demeanor when he earned his soul. First of all, back in S2 when the Judge senses the "humanity" of Dru and Spike, they explain that it's because they are able of expressing love, an otherwise human emotion. It is shown through Angel's transition to Angelus that he is no longer able to love, and that energy is channeled into a dark obsessive destructiveness to those he once loved. With Spike, he never let go of that love as a Vampire, as we see when he sire's his mother out of love. Spike is more or less the same because he has had a much different experience with finding his soul than Angelus. Spike loves constantly, and it is because of his love for Buffy that he earns his soul in the first place, therefore (in my opinion) his character should not change much at all. I hope this made sense, it's hard for me to organize my thoughts sometimes haha. |

She's wearing point-toed stiletto boots for the majority of the final sequence, but for the stunt woman, they have flat point-toed boots to make the action scenes safer. |

Nicholas: You do realize that a bunch of the things you listed would be better suited for a list of bloopers, rather than a "continuity error" list, right?

Nicholas, you saw some good flaws, but here;
Because the first Turok-Han had been chosen by the first because it was the strongest? Kinda like Angel & Spike kick-ass much better than other vamps, so does some Turok-Hans?
The First had been aware of the seal opening the other times but in Chosen it was busy elsewhere, so it couldn't send a Turok-Han ahead?
A shielding-spell? After all, they were just there to watch.
I don't think they expected the Hellmouth to cave in, so technically, it wasn't muder, even if the town hadn't been pretty much abandoned.
Apparently they weren't that close. And the only time Spike & Clem spook of Buffy, they weren't that positive.
Maybe Buff scared them of, you know, with killing the master?
And I can add a puppet thing. Remember when the robot chick throws Spike out of the window? Okay, I didn't notice it until I heard someone say it in the commentary, but still, noticable.

Vampires can enter barns without an invite (Angel and Darla once hid in a barn, until Darla took off and left Angel to face the angry mob himself), so I don't see how a shed is any different. wood said it was his place... the barn that darla and angelus were in wasn't a personal space. |

Maybe Wood didn't consider it home? Or maybe it doesn't count because it wasn't the main building (Spike thought it was a garage). Or maybe Wood invited Spike of screen? "Wood:Spike, want to come home with me? Spike: Sure." And then Spike got disapointed because Wood just wanted to fight. *nudge, nudge, leer* |
