** Joyce calls Buffy "Sunshine", which is utterly hysterical in Season 5 when [[spoiler: A second daughter of hers is retconned into reality... named "Dawn".]]

** The final scene between Joyce and Buffy has them sitting on their porch talking about men and about the movie they're about to waych that night, [[Series/GilmoreGirls just like a certain mother-and-daughter duo that would premiere two years later on their same channel]].

The second-to-last scene of the Episode reminded me a lot of Gilmore Girls.

Added DiffLines:

** Buffy's actions (beating a vampire to a pulp before staking him, accidentally killing someone who might have been human) are harsher to watch after what happened with [[spoiler: Faith]] in season 3. Cordelia even makes the argument that the Slayer should be entitled to a couple of mistake kills, considering all the good she does on balance.


Added DiffLines:

* HilariousInHindsight: Ted's character, with his odd old-fashioned values, jovial persona over a dark side, and love of miniature golf, bears a resemblance to season 3's Mayor Wilkins.

** Ted threatens to have Buffy put in an asylum. This is especially nasty if you've seen "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E17NormalAgain Normal Again]]".
** Giles mentions that killing a human being is a hard thing to bear. He himself would murder Ben in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E22TheGift The Gift]]".

* FridgeBrilliance: A possible ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman'' reference may not be far fetched, considering that the original Ted (who built a robot Version of himself) lived in TheFifties (the original play was published in 1949), and was as much of a mishap as Willy Loman. The moral of the story is that you have to be more than human, i.e. a machine, to make the "american dream" of the fifties come true.
