So...let's talk Buffy/Angel messups...

The one that most fans are aware of, and the one's most dismiss...
In "School Hard", Spike claims that sired him...but ever since it has been held that Drusilla sired Spike.
Buffy actually died twice in Season 1, I think the title of the ep was "Nightmares"....Technically...the master kills her and makes her a vampire...leading to the question...she was technically dead until they brought Billy out of his coma...so why wasn't a new slayer called then? Or was that when Kendra was called...and everybody always assumed it was when she drowned...
In "Homecomming"(also the best BTVS ep of Cordy ever!)...Buffy stakes Candy with a spatchula...now I ask this...do they make spatchulas out of wood?
Buffy had Mr.Pointy bronzed...now...I don't know much about bronzing..but bronze is a metal...so how would it dust a vamp? I mean...wood has to pierce the heart...I guess it doesn't matter if the wood actually touches the heart...
In "Amends"...The First is at least somewhat corporeal...The First as Jenny touches Angel on the shoulder more than once...
In "Phases"...Oz as a werewolf looks like an actual wolf...but Oz, and every werewolf since...later on...looked like a rabid skunk/ape hybrid...

These are only a few that I think of at the moment...if you have the answer to any of these questions, or if I have made any mistakes..please share...
Also, please share other inconsistancies you've witnessed in the Buffyverse....
 
You forgot to include Angel in this sentence: In "School Hard", Spike claims that sired him...but ever since it has been held that Drusilla sired Spike.

I don't know if it is a mistake or what,... I have a trouble with Angel's age,..in btvs s2 he said he was 241 years old and in ats s2 he said he was 247...?!?!,.wtf?,..
btvs s2=1998
ats=2000
That's just wrong...
 
Yeah...I meant to put in Angel's name there...
Also...in "The Wish"...Anyanka got her power from the amulet she wore...but when Big D returned her powers to her in "Hell's Bells"...she never wore an amulet...also...in "Selfless"..in the flashback to the Russian Revolution...Anyanka is wearing no such amulet...neither is Halfrek...

Another inconsistancy...I believe somebody pointed this out in another thread...is that the ritual to open the dimensions require the blood of the key...yet Glory was pretty frickin' suprised that the monks had formed the key into a Human..."a flesh wrapper"...
 
Vicious, it's been stated by Joss and repeated numerous times on this site, that vampires consider the sire of their sire to be their sires as well. Since Angel sired Drusilla, Spike considers him his sire as well.

That didnt count, Billy made Nightmates into reality since it was on the hellmouth, after he woke up everything reversed and we dont know if Buffy just turned into a vampire and still was alive or was actually dead. She didnt act like a souless vampire either and like I said before after Billy woke up everything reversed so if a new slayer was called she wouldnt have been called anymore after that until Buffy dies agian so a new slayer couldve been called since they wouldnt come to SunnyDale any time soon, it took Kendra half a year to come to SunnyDale after Buffys death.

Its just like in Season2 Halloween, Willow turned into a ghost and was dead but after the statue was broken everything was reversed and so far The First can not turn into Willow.

In "Homecomming"(also the best BTVS ep of Cordy ever!)...Buffy stakes Candy with a spatchula...now I ask this...do they make spatchulas out of wood?

I think they make some of them out of wood

Buffy had Mr.Pointy bronzed...now...I don't know much about bronzing..but bronze is a metal...so how would it dust a vamp? I mean...wood has to pierce the heart...I guess it doesn't matter if the wood actually touches the heart...

Either she was being sarcastic, or she didnt actually have the whole thing bronzed, and she didnt exactly use it on every vampire she met, she used it like once that we actually saw.

In "Amends"...The First is at least somewhat corporeal...The First as Jenny touches Angel on the shoulder more than once...

The First was summoned in Amends so that couldve made him corporeal whereas in Season7 he wasnt summoned, he took the break in the line of Slayers as a point to come out its self.

In "Phases"...Oz as a werewolf looks like an actual wolf...but Oz, and every werewolf since...later on...looked like a rabid skunk/ape hybrid...

We dont always see Oz go into full wolf mode, he has only done it like 3 times where as he did look like a wolf same with Veruca.

They mess up ages alot...they mess up Spike's also if you go by the age they say in "The Intiative", he would have been like, ten, when he was sired...

That's true,...and ,..grrrr...I was thinking about spangel and now I can't stop thinking of David and a 10 years old lil boy doing,..that,,..just too perverted!
 
But Primal Slayer...what I'm talking about is..

"Beauty and the Beasts", "The Zeppo", "Wild at Heart", and "New Moon Rising" Oz looks completely different wolfed out then he did in "Phases"..I wasn't talking about episodes like "Fear, Itself" when he only partially wolfs out.
What I was saying is, there was a costume and makeup change.

I'm sorry, have I scarred your Spangel dreams???

And I've often been annoyed by Oz's change in appearance as a werewolf...
 
I'm not sure if this is technically an inconsistency but, I notice this in a lot of shows that someone has supery powers. Superman is the most obvious one, he seems to have just as much trouble fighting humans as he seems to fighting other supery powered dudes.
When Buffy fights the cops she seems to have the same amount as trouble as well, or maybe I see things wrong, entirely possible. But in some eps, the Scoobs sorta handle vamps aight too. The vamps are supposed to be stronger and all right? I dunno, it just confuses me sometimes. cuz when I think about it, it doesn't make any sense, that they're supposed to be stronger yet have the same amount of trouble fighting with humans, and training with Giles, shouldn't it hurt more if they're that strong?...how strong are the vamps supposed to be? I know in some books and stuff they can bench press small cars, which I dun think most buffy vamps could but...
