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.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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

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!

Sad thing is, I would never have noticed the error if I hadn't listened to the commentary.
My dubious theory is that I was always distracted by 'Mmmm, Angelus' thoughts while watching that episode, but I suspect it's just because I'm dense.

Time does tend to have a serious warp factor in Sunnydale.
