** Angelus's line to Buffy about "Now that's everything, huh? No weapons. No friends. No hope. Take that away, and what's left?" is used in Whedon's ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''
** The scene where Spike casually states he's going to kill the police officer, only to be interrupted by Buffy clearing her throat and giving him a warning look; it basically becomes a hilarious microcosm of his character[[spoiler: down the line, particularly in season 4.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Buffy lies to say that her and Spike are in a band, and he claims that he sings. Come the MusicalEpisode where we see that he can indeed.


Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Buffy never gets to fight Drusilla, and the latter doesn't even get any kind of of fight scene after the previous episode showed her as powerful enough to kill a Slayer single handedly.

** Also, Spike being a fan of Manchester United is hilarious given the later retcon that he's an upper-middle-class man pretending to be working class.[[note]]Any real working class Londoner would view an accusation of supporting Manchester United as a death-worthy insult, but it's a common stereotype in British football culture that many MU supporters are middle-class people from outside the North-West, with little knowledge of football, who only like them because of their fame and record of success.[[/note]]

* FightSceneFailure: During Buffy and Angelus' duel, it's pretty obvious that the stunt man for Creator/DavidBoreanaz has a much thinner hairline than him. The guy looks more like ''Xander'' than he does Angel.

* NeverLiveItDown: Xander's lowest moment as far as the fans go is his lie to Buffy; not telling her that Willow was planning to re-ensoul Angel. This leads to Buffy's TraumaCongaLine of having to kill Angel right after he got his soul back, and Xander becomes a complete KarmaHoudini for it. Even worse is when it receives a CallBack in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E5Selfless Selfless]]", when Willow finds out and angrily calls him on it...and it's completely forgotten about, Xander dodging repercussions again.

** Was Joyce serious in telling Buffy to never come back? Or was she desperate to get her stay? The ending and the next season suggest the latter.

* BrokenBase: Xander telling Buffy to kick Angel's ass instead of telling her about the spell: Xander putting the world first, or Xander limiting Buffy's options in the battle because he hated Angel and he ultimately subverted the group for his own needs?



* FridgeLogic: Whistler said Angel's blood was needed to seal the hole sucking the world into hell, not his actual death. So why didn't Buffy just cut him on his hand again and then stab the bloodied sword back into the statue? RuleOfDrama is all fine and good, but you have to write your tragic situations internally consistently or it just comes across like a cross between ButThouMust and IdiotBall.



* TearJerker: "Close your eyes." From this line to the end of the season is as rough as the series gets.
