Episode Quotes

	Season 2 / Episode 22: - Becoming (2) Buffy: I told you. I'm a vampire slayer. Joyce: Well I just don't accept that.
	Season 2 / Episode 22: - Becoming (2) Buffy: Do-do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is, how dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or... God, even studying! But I have to save the world. Again.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: SPOILER: Obvious use of doubles during sword fight.
PLOT: SPOILER: Buffy couldn't have known it was Drusilla that killed Kendra. She wasn't in the library when it happened, and everybody who was in the library was unconscious when it happened.
CHAR: After Angel is re-ensouled, he doesn't remember the events leading up to where he is. But various times on "Angel" (1999), it is implied, if not outright stated, that, while it takes a few moments to remember where he is after being cursed, Angel and Angelus share the same memories.
CREW: Near the end of the episode, when Joyce comes upstairs looking for Buffy and the view pushes in toward the half-open door to Buffy's room, you can see the top of the flats making up the walls of the set and over them into the studio beyond. Also, an electrical cord loops down into the shot near the corner where the walls meet.

TRIVIA

The sequence with the Mutant Enemy mascot, the little monster that goes "Grr Argh" at the end of all episodes, was changed for a total of six episodes: - in "Becoming Part Two" (#2.22) it said, 'Oh, I need a hug." - in "Amends" (#3.10) it wore a Santa hat and bells were jingling. - in "Graduation Day Part Two" (#3.22) it wore a graduation cap. - in "Once More With Feeling" (#6.07) it sang its "Grr Argh." - in "Storyteller" (#7.16) it sang, "We are as gods." - in "Chosen" (#7.22) it looked out at the viewers instead of looking straight-forward.
