[edit] Trivia
[edit] The Show
- Previously On: Instead of the usual introduction by Anthony Stewart Head, the beginning of this episode is briefly narrated by Nicholas Brendon, saying "This is what happened this year."
[edit] Behind the Scenes
- Double Feature: Although it wasn't meant to air in such a way during production, UPN decided to air both episodes of the season finale on the same night, back-to-back.
- Credits Snafu: Anthony Stewart Head doesn't appear in the opening guest star credits because producers wanted his return to be a surprise for the viewer.
[edit] Allusions and References
- Dark Phoenix: Jean Grey was a Marvel superhero created along with the other X-Men by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963. Grey has the powers of telekinesis and telepathy, as well as a boosted range of abilities after having her powers amplified by the Phoenix Force. She was once used by the Hellfire Club in order to perpetrate a scheme through her powers without her consent. She transformed into the Dark Phoenix, a power hungry goddess. She absorbed an entire star, which resulted in the deaths of five billion people. Jonathan's allusion parallels Willow's change in several ways, particularly that they're both redheads, both transformed their clothing into something darker and are both willing to kill after seeing the one they love been struck down.
- Andrew: Are you kidding, she's like Dark Phoenix up there and you just expect us to outrun her?
- Nirvana: Spike quotes the first line of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, the band's first single off their 1992 Geffen Records debut, Nevermind. The song is held as an anthem for the shiftless and uninterested youth of Generation X.
- Spike: Here we are now, entertain us.
- Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Sabrina, the Teenage Witch is a comic book series created on the Archie line of comics about a girl who inherited her witch powers from her warlock father, despite having a mortal mother. The comic book spun off a cartoon series (Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies and Sabrina, the Animated Series) as well as a sitcom on ABC starring Melissa Joan Hart.
- Andrew: We're supposed sit around waiting for Sabrina to disembowel us?

- Andrew: We've got maybe seconds before Darth Rosenberg grinds us all into to Jawa burgers and not one of you bunch has the Midichlorians to stop her.
Xander: You haven't had even a tiny bit of sex have you?
