Summers’ Residence Floorplan

Can anyone draw up a detailed floorplan for the Summers’ house? Upstairs & down. (Based, of course on what we see of the house). I can’t quite picutre how it’s laid out in my head. That would be really cool to have available here.

Watch your damn step

In The Harvest, Angel is outside the Bronze when Buffy stops the Harvest from occuring. Angel says, “I’ll be damned.” This is true as he is actually a damned soul. He then walks away and the door behind him reads, “Watch Your Step.” This is possibly intended to warn the …

Olaf isn’t a Swedish name.

Olof is the Swedish variant, Olaf is Norwegian. This difference isn’t modern, it goes back to the Viking Age. Further Aud and Olaf are said to live in Sweden in 880 and Olaf refrences Baltic women - this clearly suggests they live nowhere near the Norwegian border.

You’ve never met the real me

In Never Leave Me, Spike tells Buffy, “You’ve never met the real me.” If he’s refering to his former evil-ways, wouldn’t she have “met” the real him in seasons 2-4?

Hey, it’s like a metaphor

The flower jasmine has been compared to vampires twice in the Buffyverse. In I Only Have Eyes For You:

Drusilla: “Wow! Look. Jasmine.”
Angelus: “Night blooming.”
