Season 4 Trivia

  • Episode 02 - Goof (continuity error): When Willow is backing away from Kathy, the dorm room door is ajar. When the shot goes to Kathy and back to Willow again, the door is completely closed.
  • Episode 21 - Goof (revealing mistake): In the fighting scene between Forrest and Riley, Riley gets thrown over a table. In the next shot, you can see the chest-belt under his shirt (the thing with a wire to pull him back in the next shot).
  • Episode 18 - Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Xander and Anya are going to Riley's room to rescue Riley and Buffy, there are a pair of hands "helping" with the vine attack on Anya.
  • Episode 14 - Goof (continuity error): When Forrest and Graham take Riley from 3-14 to the hospital, Riley does not have Buffy's bandana on his hand. However, in the last shot of the episode, the bandana is wrapped around his hand again.
  • Episode 09 - Goof (revealing mistake): At 23:15, as Spike stands up you can see his reflection in the mirror to the left of the door in the background, visible past Giles' right shoulder. Also, from 24:27 to 27:07 his reflection is visible numerous times in the glass front of the bookcase next to his chair.
