We giggle, because we love

So I was talking about how The Gift has some of the worst continuity that BtVS has possibly ever seen and it got me and others talking about moments in Buffy and Angel that are so bad or dumb that at this point you can't help but look back on them with an indulgent smile ( Read more... )

I know the breathing thing has been mentioned, and that really is my major WTF. Spike and Angel were always panting, and sucking in breath and so on. For creatures that didn't need to breathe, they seemed to be out of it a lot.

Also...when Wesley calls the Council about Faith going evil, they send a bunch of schlubs that couldn't deliver pizza. When, apparently, they had a crack team of retrieval specialists, as seen in "New Girl" just sitting around doing nothing. Hell, more than that. They waited until Faith woke up from the coma to come grab her? Why not grab her when she was nice and unconscious?

Or why not just off Faith why she was in comaville? We hear over & over again about how the CoW are a bunch of cold-blooded bastards & only consider the Slayer as a weapon, but they had some sort of issue about completely eliminating their problem? They had freaking agents in the hospital! How hard would it have been 'accidentally' give Faith the wrong medicine?

yes, that too. Especially since Faith was holding up the next Slayer from being called.

My favorite one with the breathing was when Darla was giving birth: "I - PANT - CAN'T - PANT - BREATHE!" I mean I get the actors need to breathe and that's why we're supposed to pretend we never see Angel or Spike's breath in the air when they film on cold nights, but they definitely worked in too many scenes where a vamp is breathing hard as a way to indicate being upset or making great effort.

I think the whole, "having no breath" thing is absurd. I mean, they still have lungs. Sure, being dead they shouldn't need to breathe, but surely they can still bring in air and expel it.

And didn't they comment that Vamps are cold, like dead bodies? So why was Angel always sweating?

And the big question when Faith woke from the coma - who phoned Giles' apartment to let them know?
