What's my line? pt1
The Good;
Love Buffy's miniskirt and booties, very hot. The neighbours scream blending into the plane's engine noise. Will and Oz, awwww! Buffy ice-skating, you wonder who's better now, SMG or Michelle 'Ice Princess' Tractenberg? Or maybe Julie Benz who is also apparently was once rated 12th best in the US. Buffy's gesture with the torch when Giles suggests she consider law enforcement as a career. Death by iceskate! Buffy's paranoia as she walks through careers day. The Xander/Snyder faceoff. Cordy's little expression at the thought of free cosmetics. Buffy's look of shock at the final line.
The Bad;
Kendra's accent for one although if she was taken from her parents as a child and raised in the UK you'd expect it to be a mishmash.
Best line;
Cordy; What am I, mass transportation?
Xander; That's what guys say but it's just locker room talk
Questions and observations;
A small town like Sunnydale must have a pretty huge airport to handle a 747? Why has no one tried to hire the Order of Taraka before now? Willy the Snitch for the first time. Angel tortures him, of course. Xander refers to the Scooby gang for the first time. First sign of Will's frog fear. Is this the first appearance of Mr Gordo? Also Dalton who will reappear as Spike's lackey in future eps. Xander breaks into Buffy's house very easily,for such a dangerous town everyone seems very slack. What happened to the Slayer rule about not killing humans, Kendra tries to kill Buff with the axe.
10/10 great stuff

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When Angel is inspecting the "deceased" assassin's ring on the ice, you can still see him breathing quite rapidly. Edit
- Willow's frog fear is a condition known as Ranidaphobia. Edit
- One of the assassins gets off a bus, in the long shots the steps are one color with a sign reading "Watch your step" at 21:23, but in the close shot the steps are a different color and the sign is gone at 21:26. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Marti Noxon originally envisioned the climax of the ice skating rink scene to be far bloodier, citing on the DVD commentary that she thought it would be like in the 1996 Coen brothers film, Fargo. Edit
- Cordelia's career aptitude test said she should either be a personal shopper or a motivational speaker. The motivational speaker part was quite prophetic as she would go on to keep Angel motivated like no one else could. Edit
- Bianca Lawson (Kendra) originally auditioned for the role of Cordelia Chase and won it, but she was opted to take a role in Goode Behavior instead. Producers liked her so much that she was introduced on the second season as Kendra. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Spike: (about Buffy) She's the gnat in my ear. The gristle in my teeth. She's the bloody thorn in my bloody side! Edit
- Xander: Y'know, with that kind of attitude, you could have had a bright future as an employee of the DMV. Edit
- Cordelia: I can't even believe you. You dragged me out of bed for a ride? What am I, mass transportation? Xander: That's what a lot of the guys say, but it's just locker room talk. I wouldn't pay it any mind. Cordelia: Oh, great, so now I'm your taxi and your punching bag. Xander: I like to think of you more as my witless foil, but have it your way. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Buffy: ...my hair and fingernails still continue to grow.
This is a reference to the fact that,after death,hair and fingernails appear to grow just a little bit longer. This was often considered evidence for vampires back in the day. However, the appearance is actually due to the contraction of the surrounding skin rather than extension of the dead cells.
Edit - The character "Dalton" may be a nod to the chemistry scientist John Dalton (1766-1844), who introduced the hypothesis of "atomism." While the vampire Dalton wears a beard, unlike the human scientist, their glasses, hair, and clothing are virtually identical. Edit
- Spike: By George, I think he's got it! This is a paraphrase of what Professor Higgins says to Eliza in the 1964 movie My Fair Lady when he is trying to get her to speak proper English. Edit
