Little stuff that bugged you.

[Inappropriate Starches]

Buffy never finishes what she's saying. I actually get why in an emotional conversation Buffy always cuts herself off, it's a character thing they gave her that makes perfect sense, but it's so annoying. Half the time you know what she's going to say anyway so just let her say it. So irritating.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not because this thread is pretty massive, but I just noticed for the first time today watching "The Initiative" that Spike shouldn't have been able to harm the scientists when he was escaping if he already had his chip. XD Noticing that was a huge WTF to me and has been buggng me now.

They actually tried to slip it in that he was barely able to harm them because of the chip. At the end where Riley is reporting to Professor Walsh. Riley said the chip was active If I remember correctly. Time for a re-watch!

[The Night Lord]

The final scene between Buffy and Spike when they're holding hands and the hands are on fire. Spike is glowing due to the amulet, which isn't glowing at all during the close-ups

I know I mentioned this at least once already, but I have to repeat it while it's fresh on my mind while watching Smashed. The "foreign language" that Willow uses to bring back Amy made me hungry. I swear I heard her say pork-chop. Okay not really but still as much as I love Willow the girl needs to stick to English. Her Latin and any other language she speaks or tries to pronounce that's not English is awful.

[waitingtodie]

i think i saw or read an interview with alyson hannigan, where she talked about what she disliked the most about playing willow.
and she said it was trying to pronounce latin or whatever made up languages they made her say for spells. ;D

found a quote but not the whole interview.

(Alyson on being nervous with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer lines that were in Latin)
Alyson: I had butterflies in my stomach. I don't know why I was so nervous-maybe because I don't know how to pronounce half the lines I have to say today. They're in some made-up language.

[Randi Giles]

I'm watching Entropy right now and just realized Willow could have at least closed the laptop so Xander wouldn't have to see Anya screwing Spike. Then again what fun would that be?

[tkts]

Well, Willow was as shocked as the rest of them. She wasn't thinking all that quickly at the time.

The cage in the library. We'll really suppose to believe that it can hold a werewolf.

^ Also I've seen no reaction to the fact that there's a cage in a public school library. Lol, I find that funny.

In "Halloween", the scene where Principal Snyder is recruiting the scoobs to volunteer he says: "The program starts at four, the children have to be back at six." The next scene it shows them trick-or-treating at night in all it's darkness. There is no way it get's that dark between that said time!

That much is not surprising. If you have things that need to be kept somewhat secure but aren't all that valuable -- files, for example, or stacks of books to be catalogued -- putting up some fencing to convert an alcove into a cage is easier than putting in a secure room. Lots of offices have cages for storage of one thing or another.

Yet it can't hold Hyena People or Pete (Pete broke out right?).

[The Night Lord]

No, Pete ripped the door off to get to Oz. And it can hold one Hyena Person. The other four attacked from the outside and tore the door off

[Tyler Austin "tiewashere"]

I'm pretty certain it's in the episode "All the Way" but at the big fight ending scene of the episode there is a HUGE editing mess up. Buffy and the vamps are fighting and Buffy dodges a punch, leading the vampire to punch and break the glass of a car door.

But before he even hits the damn door, the glass is already cracked ALL OVER so the actor has an easier chance to stick his hand through. The change is so obvious before he even TOUCHES the door that my friends laughed (on their first time seeing the episode and things like this are normally noticeable after repetitive viewing).

That's interesting, I have never seen that....but I haven't been in a lot of offices to notice, however I have been to a lot of public and school libraries and I have not once seen a cage-like alcove in them. If I saw that in my school library, it would have resulted in a surprised "WTF?" reaction. lol, that's all i'm saying.

[Miss. Rogueh]

My school used to have a cage... it was where the school records were kept. and the laptops...

[Tea - Total]

I noticed a rope connecting to the kitchen area in show time, when the Turok Han blast the door down its obvious that the rope was their to push back the door.

I watched Get it done last night and Willow stated that she sucked at latin. I completely forgot that she said that.

[Inappropriate Starches]

The cage stuff reminded me about the writing flaw that Marti Noxon mentions in her commentary for "What's My Line". Angel gets locked in a cage by Kendra and a simple padlock keeps him in, whereas he can break through much more other times he has to. I find they do that a lot on shows like this. Willow somehow forgets there is a spell that could help, or Angel can move about undetected and uber fast until he has to catch up to something and then he can't make it? Also things like the ubervamps being rediculously hard to kill but in Chosen even the lay people are able.

Joss talks about it via the ubervamps in his Chosen commentary saying that the story is more important than continuity, and I completely agree, but things like that just take you out of the story a little bit, and it would be cool if there were less of them, lol.

[Scarygothgirl]

^I thought the first uber-vamp out was a super-warrier and thus harder to kill than the others in Chosen?

[Tea - Total]

^ I get bugged that their didn't tell us that the First Turok Han was a alpha male of the pack.
