Trivia / Angel S01E13 "She"

• Corpsing: The episode took far longer to shoot than usual since the cast kept breaking up in laughter. The set had to be shut down for an hour and a half because David Boreanaz and Alexis Denisof couldn't stop laughing. It got to the point where David and Alex resolved not to look at each other to avoid cracking up. But as Joss Whedon pointed out on the DVD Commentary for the episode, there are still points where David can't keep a straight face.
• Inspiration for the Work: Joss Whedon was inspired by the Blake's 7 episode "Power", set on a planet where the two sexes were at war with each other, with the women being controlled by having a Power Crystal surgically removed.
• What Could Have Been: Jhiera was considered to become a recurring character. "The Ring" bringing up her demonic species (the Vigories of Oden Tal) was likely a reference to establish her as a part of the greater tapestry. But ultimately, this didn't happen.
