The Continuity Errors, and How They Can be Endearing

Particularly, in Season One, there are quite a few continuity errors. I personally find these little errors kind of endearing. Let me explain.
The writer's are only human. Continuity issues remind us of the fact that these God-like beings *"We are as Gods!"* are not in fact God-like.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a perfectly imperfect show.  To me that makes it so much more appealing. After all, I don't want a show where everything is perfect 100% of the time.
Also, consider this. Nothing in life is completely without flaws. Even the most beautiful of gemstones is liable to have a flaw here and there. Continuity issues happen to the best of writers. As a writer, I can attest to the hard work that goes into making sure everything is running smoothly in your story. So sometimes, it's easy to overlook things here and there.
Here's the point:
Instead of complaining about these things, how about we cut the writers some slack and enjoy that these moments exist? Pobody's Nerfect after all.
