In Restless, after Willow and Tara tell Xander to join them, you can see the word “sheep” written twice on the inside of the ice-cream van as he crawls towards them. The first one is in the lower right corner, and the second one is on the right side of the screen. This could be suggesting that Xander views himself as a sheep, following the Scoobies around because that is all he can do. |

Is Sheep a band, like Widespread Panic (whose stickers are seen throughout the show)? I’m sure I’ve seen those Sheep stickers somewhere but can’t think where.

Cordelia calls Harmony a sheep twice in the Season 2 ep Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Don’t spose it could be a reference to that? Xander thinking back to the times with Cordy when things were good.

I’m pretty sure a Sheep-sticker can be seen in Xander’s bedroom when Willow tries to seduce him in ‘Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered’.

Mullsen - there’s also a Sheep sticker on Willow’s noticeboard when we see her in her bedroom in Passion.

In First Impressions, the Angel ep from season 2, Cordelia calls Wesley a sheep and tell him that he “doesn’t have a single opinion he didn’t get out of a book.” That’s a lot like what she tells Harmony (except the book part, Harmony probably not too big on books) in Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Personally, I think Cordy likes calling people sheep for some reason.

Think about what he’s doing. He’s following two beautiful women because he can’t help himself.
To truly understand this you have to understand how much of a feminist Joss is. Here he’s saying (most) men are sheep. Xander being a prototypical example of the one track mind. Much has been made of this aspect of his personality (especially see “Earshot”).
To borrow a line from “Where the Wild Things Are”: “slaves to the rhythm” (Forrest). But that sentiment does not nearly have enough negative import as is intended here.
