Did you know
- TriviaMuch of Anthony Head's dialog has been very noticeably re-dubbed in this episode. This is most noticeable in the scene where Buffy first asks Giles about the earthquake - the lip-sync is off and the audio is far too clean in comparison to Sarah Michelle Gellar's.
- GoofsThe corpse that Willow is lying next to alternates between its eyes being open and shut.

[last lines]
Spike: What's this? Sittin' around watching the telly while there's evil still afoot. It's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What? Can't go without your Buffy, is that it? Too chicken? Let's find her. She is the Chosen One, after all. Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Let's annihilate them. For justice, and for... the safety of puppies... and Christmas. Right? Let's fight that evil! Let's kill something! Oh, come on!
- Alternate versionsFor the syndicated rerun, Forrest Gates' reference to Lara Croft as a fantasy was dubbed over to him saying "the Easter Bunny" apparently in the wake of the successful release of the Angelina Jolie movie of the same name. The "Easter Bunny" version is the version heard in the Region 1 DVD set.

After the excellent 'Hush' I was prepared to be a little disappointed; thankfully this turned out to be another excellent episode. There is plenty of character development; most obviously for Spike as he learns that there is still a way for him to have 'fun'. Buffy and Riley's relationship takes new turns as they learn the truth about each other and both Willow and Xander remind us just how much they have changed over the course of the series, despite Spike's goading. The 'monsters of the week' are fun and provide some great action as they fight our protagonists. The cast are on fine form with James Marsters standing out as Spike. Overall this was another top notch episode.
