We know that Buffy lives at 1630 Revello Drive. When Joyce is talking to the police officer in Becoming (Part 2), the door is open and you can see the outside column has the numbers 163 on them - but no 0. The numbers are also facing the other …

Comas might very well be a running (if depressing) theme in the Buffyverse. First, we had Billy in Nightmares who was in a coma. Then in Becoming (Part 2), Willow was in a coma for a short time after being attacked by vampires. In Graduation Day (Part 2) and This …

Buffy - Angel …

In Graduation Day (Part 1), Buffy says to Wesley, “Get a job!” This might be a reference to the film Heathers in which Veronica Sawyer (played by Winona Ryder) says the same thing to her guidance counselor. Sarah Michelle Gellar has said this is one of her favorite movies.
