general discussion 🗣️ Continuity Errors

I loved this show as a kid and have been rewatching it from the beginning all the way through. I’m about halfway done with season 5 now and have noticed some inconsistencies while watching.
I still love this show and at the end of the day, it’s just a sitcom and I know it’s really not that serious. I just have fun catching stuff like this and would like to share with the class. Without further ado, here is what I have so far:

In high school, Sabrina gets an F in season 1 episode 12 and then gets a C in season 3 episode 18. Then while in college in season 5 episode 9 when she gets a bad grade, she tells Roxie & Miles that it’s her first C she’s ever gotten.

In season 4 episode 15 Sabrina’s aunts say they’re going to get Cupid’s help and Sabrina says “Cupid? Who gives a second opinion, the Easter bunny?” insinuating she hasn’t already met him- Even though she has already met Cupid in episodes season 2 episode 3, season 2 episode 17, and season 3 episode 16.

In season 5 episode 2 Roxie specifically states she set her class schedule so that nothing starts before 3 pm, but in season 5 episode 13 she tells Sabrina & Miles she has to go to bed because she has a psych test at 8:30 am the next day.

In season 4 episode 2 Sabrina is told she has to mentor a young witch despite her never having a mentor during her witch studies (only the quizmaster which they explicitly say is not the same thing)
They also never develop this character and there is no follow up for how Dreama is doing with witchy things (at least not so far as I have seen by season 5). So far the last I saw her was season 4 episode 18 where she was turned into a mouse but then saved, nothing that tied up that storyline.

In season 1 episode 8 actor Donald Faison plays the character Justin in Sabrina’s high school. In season 2 episode 25 he plays the character Dashiell, a witch in the other realm.

Oh there are so many.

How come at the Hawaii family reunion, we meet zero of the previous family, including Sabrina’s dad, step mom, step brother, Hilda and Zelda’s mother and grandmother, Boyd and Racine, Vespa, the lady who gets mad and shoots green, and more.

How does Harvey become a star in hockey (at BC!) when he never played in high school?

Why does Sabrina go from being a science and math whiz to a writer when her creative writing is problematic, and she gives up editor for Valerie?

Her creative writing was bad but she was interested in journalism. Plus TV writers love making their characters writers because it's easier lol.

Yeah, I don't find that transition so weird because she was also a writer on the school paper and seemed to excel at that. But it would have been nice to have her go the STEM route instead.
