Scooby
Becoming, Part One
Aired: May 12, 1998
Writer: Joss Whedon
Director: Joss Whedon
Trivia:
- The stuntwoman who was set on fire for the vampiric 'immolation-o-gram' is named Cindy Folkerson. She has been set on fire more times than any other stuntwoman in Hollywood.
- Whistler was originally going to be Angel's sidekick for the spin-off, however, Max Perlich could not commit.
- When this episode was repeated on September 15, 1998, it was presented with an altered first scene. There are several subtle differences, but the most noticeable is that Max Perlich provides the voice-over for that scene, rather than David Boreanaz as it was the first time the episode aired.
- Drusilla was precognitive before she became a vampire.
- Angel was made into a vampire by Darla in Galway, Ireland, in 1753, and first met Drusilla in London in 1860.
- Buffy dated a boy named Tyler during her freshman year of high school in Los Angeles.
Goofs:
- The L.A. cemetery where Buffy fights her first vampire in 1996 bears a striking resemblance to the 1998 Sunnydale cemetery where she kills two vamps at the beginning of the episode and fights Angelus toward the end. Note especially the flowering tree, and the wall and crypt in the distance, which are the same tree, wall and crypt in all scenes.
- As Kendra and Drusilla are fighting, a black lighting flag is occasionally visible at the top edge of the picture.
- Also, Angel seeing Buffy from afar in 1996 does not jibe with his attitude the first time he met her in "Welcome to the Hellmouth." In that episode, he says, "I thought you'd be taller," which implies he'd never seen her before then. However, later in season three, during "Helpless," the writers stick with the 1996 sighting when Angel describes to Buffy the flashback that we saw.
- "Shouldn't you be out destroying the world right now, pulling the sword out of Al Franken or whatever his name is?" Al Franken is a comedy writer and actor with a political bent, who is best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and the NBC sitcom Lateline, and his book Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot.
Body count:
- 4 vampires, Doug (museum man) + one other guy in museum, Kendra = 7
Best quotes:
- Cordelia: How about because you're a tiny impotent Nazi with a bug up his butt the size of an emu?
- Spike: It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.
- Whistler: Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.
- Principal Snyder: This isn't an orgy, people, it's a classroom.
Buffy: Yeah, where they teach lunch.
- Spike: Nice walk, pet?
Drusilla: I met an old man. I didn't like him. He got stuck in my teeth.
- Whistler: You can become an even more useless rodent than you already are, or you can become someone. A person. Someone to be counted.
- Whistler: There's moments in your life that make you, that set the course of who you're gonna be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes they're not. I'll show you what I mean.
