I watched it on DVD in one big Buffyfest (followed by one big Angelfest), but I still feel the same way. I didn't really notice those things so much as I was watching it the first time through, but that was basically a whirlwind of getting the next DVD into the player as fast as possible, needing to know what happened next without stopping to think about what had just happened or what it meant. It wasn't until later, in rewatching episodes and participating in fandom discussions, that I've noticed most of the plot holes and dangling threads.

But as I've said, it doesn't bother me so much on the TV show. There's enough good there than I can gloss over the holes (or fanwank them - discussing them is half the fun) and still be satisfied with the big picture. I'm finding myself unable to do that with the comics. They just don't interest me enough to put that much effort in.
