Wow, that is so not the kind of thing I would ever notice. I'm actually an editor myself, and can't bear errors in text. But off the page I'm pretty oblivious. I'll have to look for that the next time I watch.

Probably the most glaring continuity error in the whole series is in "Innocence," where a whole day somehow gets inserted in between Xander having the Urgent and Key Army Base Plan and it actually being carried out, although Joss has fanwanked that one (or I suppose I should say "writerwanked").

I was watching the season 4 DVD's, and I noticed a crew member in the bushes in the scene where they find the demon that Adam has strung up and cut open. He probably didn't even read on the broadcast or video.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Yeah, that could have been one of those smaller errors that are allowed in because of late changes, or because it fixes bigger errors. Or maybe one could argue that Buffy's such a fashion Bessie that she would change clothes for the different events in her day, sort of like Shannen Doherty wearing a different outfit in every one of her scenes in "Mallrats."

He's a "special" vampire, so having his bones stick around doesn't seem out of phase with the rest of the Jossverse.
Oh, I totally agree. My rant was more towards some of the things that have been nit-picked to death that are far less canon-violating. I love the shows, and obssess about them, but there are some times you've just got to not worry about where Capt. Logic is.

For some reason, this phrase seems very useful.
Kaylee (quietly, to Zoe): Why are we doing this?
Zoe: I don't know. I think Mal isn't being Capt. Logic at the moment.
Or Xander could use it:
Buffy: You really don't like Spike, do you?
Xander: Well, when Capt. Peroxide is around I tend to not worry about Capt. Logic.

Well it is derived from a Buffy quote:
"Capt. Logic's not driving the tugboat"
Memfault on who said - I want to say it was Riley, but I REALLY don't want to say it was Riley, if you get my meaning.

It was Anya, if memory serves.
t edit Phew, I was first! There's no surer route to a cross-posting pileup than a "who said this?" question.

Somehow I missed that-- must not have been listening hard enough. Oh, dear, I'll have to go back and watch every episode with Anya in again. What a hardship.

Anya? Huh. I would have gone with Xander or Buffy before Anya. It fits, but I can't put it in context.
