Buffy the Vampire Slayer

In the opening scene, one of the monks says an Italian word incorrectly. He states "viene" when in fact the correct wording to use would have been "vieni".

When Malcolm scrolls through the student registry, looking for Buffy, it is just the same few pictures over and over again.

The software Willow is using to scan books is called Scanner Pro. The surveillance software Fritz is using to watch Buffy at the computer plant is called Watcher Pro. Both have the same style and color scheme in their logos, suggesting the same software company.

Buffy's school record appears on two computer screens. When it first appears, the file reads: Name: Buffy Summers Birthday: 10/24/80 Status: Sophomore GPA: 2.8 Absences: 1 Athletics: None The second time we see it, it reads: Name: Buffy Summers Birthday: 05-06-79 Status: Senior GPA: 2.8 Absences: 1 Athletics: None Not only does this information contradict itself, but we later learn that even the birthdate is wrong. We are told in several later episodes that Buffy was born in 1981, not 1980. We never learn her exact birthday, but she does say that she is "a Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius" which would place her birthday between January 17th and 20th.

As Giles listens to the radio in his office, listen carefully to the announcer. It is the uncredited voice of show creator Joss Whedon.

When Willow opens her locker, a picture of her and Giles can be seen hanging on the door. In later episodes, she mentions that she had a crush on Giles during this period.

Just as Xander and Buffy try to get into the room where Moloch and Willow are, a sealed door shuts them off. That apparently was the only way into the room in that hallway. Give it a minute or two, and they bust into the room with Moloch through some door that appeared.

Buffy says that the only guy she's liked since moving to Sunnydale turned out to be a vampire. She's obviously referring to Angel but she is apparently forgetting Owen.

When Moloch threatens Dave and Fritz shows up to kill him and make it look like a suicide it is not clear where Fritz comes from. The camera shots have shown us the entire room, including the corner that Fritz steps out of. And there's no sign or sound that the door opened. Although it's possible that Fritz was in the room the whole time, and only showed himself once Dave knew he was about to be killed.

Buffy is watching Dave at the high school. He gets in his car and in the next scene he's at the CRD office building with Buffy still watching him. Since Buffy's Slayer powers do not include superspeed, it seems strange that she was so easily able to follow him without a car.
