Continuity
- In the DVD commentary, Nicholas Brendon says that he should always wear an eye patch, even if it's clear that Willow could mend Xander's eye, in case another TV series/movie would be made.
- Also in the commentary, it is revealed that one possible outcome in this episode would have been the death of Xander (at Caleb's hands) only to return as a voice for the First.
- According to the DVD commentary for this episode, the scene between Faith and Spike was meant to lay groundwork for a possible spin-off featuring Faith and Spike. The scenes were written by Marti Noxon with the idea of "showing these two people off," according to Drew Goddard.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
