Trivia:
In the flashback scenes of Buffy and Angel making love, the heavy breathing wasn't provided by David Boreanaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar but by Joss Whedon and supervising sound editor Cindy Rabideau. Whedon was too embarrassed to ask the actors to record it. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Angel smokes a cigarette early in the episode. In "Prophecy Girl" (#1.12) he cannot revive Buffy because he claims to have no breath. If he can't perform CPR for a lack of no breath, he shouldn't be able to smoke. more
Quotes:
Cordelia: This is great. There's an unkillable demon in town, Angel's joined *his* team, the Slayer's a basket case, I'd say we've hit bottom.
Xander: I have a plan.
Cordelia: Oh no, here's a lower place.

This is the greatest piece of television I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot of television. I'm not sure I can adequately describe what makes this episode stand out from all the rest, but here goes: The whole episode transpires with the events that happened in the episode before "Surprise." In that episode Buffy and Angel culminated their relationship in the physical sense. Anywho, he loses his soul and is reverted back to Angelus, the reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllly evil vampire. He gives her the brushoff, acting like your typical man after sex. Sarah Michelle Geller gives one of the best performances ever. (She may or may not agree, but out of all the episodes I think this one tops it. Becoming Part 2 comes in reeeaaaaaallll close though).

Back on track, the gang riles together and come up with a plan to defeat the Judge, who had been assembled in the previous episode. Angelus almost kills Willow, but Jenny stops him. Jenny knows more than she's telling, lets just say that.

The whole rocket launcher thing was bloody brilliant (I'm not British BTW). I'm gonna stop rambling on and on and on and I'm just gonna tell you to watch the episode. Even if you don't like Buffy, if you know anything about acting and storytelling at all, then you should really enjoy this episode, if not blown away by it. I was blown away by it. I actually use it for inspiration and stuff when my storytelling isn't as good as it could be.
