Trivia:

Joss Whedon was so frustrated by how much of his vision was being mishandled and how much of it was being rewritten that he eventually left the set during production and never came back.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Buffy punches Merrick, she gives her "Marry Christian Slater and die" speech. The reverse angle of Merrick shows Buffy's lips still moving, even though no dialogue is heard.

Quotes:

Andy: They had this look in their eyes, totally cold, animal. I think they were young Republicans.
