I've got a dozen favourite inconsistencies, but the prize for me always goes to "Why We Fight". Really? You can sire a vampire in the ad break? :)
The arguments regarding canon that drive me nuts are those which blatantly ignore everything else that the show has put forward. In particular (and I mention it because it is relevant to the IDW thread) is the absolute belief that the only true representation of souled/unsouled is Angel/Angelus. The more I watched, the more obvious it seemed that Angel was the exception not the rule. Spike is different. Anya is different, Human Darla, Connor-ensouled Darla - all different and offering all manor of perspectives. I love that so many pointed out that you can't pin things down that easily. These things made the story all that more interesting.
