** Spike does indeed turn out to be there when Buffy dies. [[HeelFaceTurn And it's the worst day of his life]].
** Spike's fight with Nikki intercutting with one with Buffy. Season 7 shows Buffy in a small LoveTriangle between Spike and Nikki's son!
* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Spike sitting with Buffy to comfort her over her mom's illness hits doubly hard in the heartwarming department when you consider the later reveal that he relates deeply to the helplessness Buffy feels--his own mother having been victim of a then-incurable illness when he was human.

** Ming Lu, who plays the Chinese slayer Xin Rong, later appears in the series finale as a Potential. TheMovie did say that reincarnation was possible for a slayer. And this time Spike dies, while she survives.
** Given Spike later sleeping with Anya in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E18Entropy Entropy]]", this means he has been with both of the two friends (although given Victorian decency standards, he likely didn't get very far with 'Cecily').

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The production design and effects used to recreate 1900 Beijing for the Boxer Rebellion are quite impressive. One would have to watch the ''Angel'' episode "Darla" to see the set more in full.
