Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTwo of the show's writers, David Fury and Marti Noxon, have small singing parts. Fury can be seen singing "They Got the Mustard Out" outside the magic shop when Buffy checks to see if other people are singing. Noxon sings about a parking ticket ("I think that hydrant wasn't there") while Giles, Xander, and Anya are walking on the street after Xander and Anya's duet.
- GoofsTara runs into a pole in the Bronze while she is performing her back-up dance to "Something to Sing About." While the pole is not visible in the shot, Tara bumping into something before she goes out of frame in the background is noticeable. Likewise, if you look closely, you can see actress Amber Benson desperately trying to suppress a laugh as she straightens out her wardrobe after bumping into the pole.
- Quotes
Dawn Summers: [excited] Oh, my God. You will never believe what happened at school today.
Buffy Summers: Everybody started singing and dancing?
Dawn Summers: [pauses, deflating] I gave birth to a pterodactyl.
Anya: Oh, my God. Did it sing?
- Crazy creditsAt the end when the Mutant Enemy logo is displayed, the monster sings "Grr, ah" in falsetto (sung by Joss Whedon).
- Alternate versionsThis episode originally aired at an extended length that ran over the hour-long format (approx. 8 minutes over) and was edited down to fit an hour long time slot for each re-airing. The footage cut included the title and overture, Buffy entering the Magic Box and some corresponding dialog, part of the song "I've Got a Theory", the entire song "What Can't We Face," dialog when Dawn enters the Magic Box, after the song "Under Your Spell," and before the song "I'll Never Tell," a verse of the song "Let Me Rest in Peace," some footage in Dawn's bedroom, Dawn's dance number with Sweet's minions, the end of the song "Why Don't We Dance Awhile," a verse of "Walk Through the Fire," dialog when Buffy first encounters Sweet and after the song "Life's a Show," and the song "Where Do We Go From Here" is shorter along with followed dialog between Spike and Buffy.
Featured review
What can't we face if we are together?
I'm utterly furious and disappointed at the negative reviews posted here regarding this bright, delightful and different episode of BTWS. Joss Whedon is a brilliant director, hands down and this proves just right. The negative comment mostly consist of the unprofessional training of the actors, musical? best episode ever? To answer a few; I personally love this episode. Which series that have drama, comedy, action, horror give one episode fill with catchy songs and musical episode? NONE. Musical? I'm not a big fan of musical myself, but I adore Buffy and to see my beloved characters in different right, once; it's special. Best episode ever? okay, maybe the comments were exaggerated, but can you blame it?! I think people need to relax and grow up, to give 3 star rating to a memorable episode like this one is just retarded.
Bravo! BTWS forever :D
