Not sure if this is something that everyone in here knows about or not...I didn`t untill now.

I am currently rewatching the whole show, and as I watched "Never Kill A Boy On The First Date" from season 1, I noticed in the first scene when The Master is making his speech to his minions, he ends it with "Here endeth the lesson". This is exactly how Buffy ends her speech to her potentials in "Show Time" from season 7. Anyone noticed this?

Do you think it`s just a coincidence?
 
I think it's just one of those phrases that gets banded about. Spike also said it to Buffy in Fool for Love when he was telling her about the slayers he killed. I'm not sure if there's any significance to it.

Hah! That's interesting! I never noticed that! Thanks for telling us.

Yeah, probably no significance, but still cool. 🙂
 
That is really cool, I guess if it was just the master and Buffy using the same line it would be more significant and have more but as it has been pointed out others, like Spike used it as well.
Dont ya just love re-visiting these episodes and picking up on things like these 🙂

Yes! I love it!!
I haven`t watched season 1 in ages (never been my favorite), and I enjoy it more than ever now! It almost feels like I`m watching them for the first time, even though I know them by heart. lol!
 
I think the writers might have made Buffy used it as a fun thing, a recall, or whatever it's called. Or it's coincidence. I just know it gave me the creeps. Maybe it was to show how Buffy's changed, become all leader-like?
 
Didn't Spike say the same thing in "Fool For Love?" Maybe I'm getting the episodes turned around in my head, but he told Buffy that in the alley after telling her about the other two Slayers who he had met (and killed) over the last few centuries,

Incidentally, according to this:

it's a variation of the phrase, "THUS endith the lesson," which was the end to a bible reading during a church service. If that's true, we lave another ironic fact concerning atheist Whedon and organized religion.

Except that all three episodes were written by different authors, none of them Whedon.

Doug Petrie wrote Fool for love
David Fury wrote Showtime
Rob Des Hotel and Dean Batali wrote Never Kill A Boy ..

I guess Joss could have written scenes for them though ....
