YMMV / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S3E2 "Dead Man's Party"

• Harsher in Hindsight: Buffy says to Xander, "Didn't anyone ever warn you about playing with pointy sticks? It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye." Come season 7, Caleb destroys Xander's left eye.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Joyce and Buffy's friends (except Oz and Cordelia) come across as this. While being angry at Buffy for running away is one thing, they seem rather unsympathetic to the fact that Buffy had left as a result of killing her boyfriend. They also refuse to spend time with Buffy when she asks them to but then accuse her of pushing them away. They decide to host a party at her house and invite people she doesn't know personally just to avoid talking to her. Not to mention that Joyce was the one who told Buffy not to come back home if she left the house after Buffy revealed the existence of the supernatural to her and that she had to save the world.
