Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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.

Did Oz and Anya ever get a scene together of significance? I don't recall one, and it's a shame that never got to happen.

The talk of quotes above just made me think of that. I think they interacted a little in Season 4, but Oz departed too soon for any quality exchange of dialog (I think).

Found it!

From Flooded:

XANDER: Anya. If I tell them we're engaged right after you dared me to ... wouldn't you always wonder if that's the only reason I did it?
Anya thinks about this, realizes he's right.
ANYA: Oh.
XANDER: Score one for Captain Logic.
ANYA: No, no. Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat. I smell Captain Fear at the wheel! (lowers her voice as Tara and Dawn move toward them) God, I hate this. This tone in my voice? I dislike it more than you do, and I'm closer to it!

Cereal: We should maybe move this to Previously.

To every idea a shelf...

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").

Okay, that's one I never picked up! What was Joss's explanation? I don't remember him saying anything on the commentary.

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'

Yeah, I saw the Buffy costume blips in When She Was Bad, but didn't feel particularly bothered by them. It was a screw up but not an important one and it just felt like part of the rich Buffy tapestry.

What was Joss's explanation?

They were going to Willow's house to "practise" their plan for the following night. Because, you know, the Buffistas are always careful to rehearse their plans!
