* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Creator/JamesMarsters named this as one of his favourite episodes:
-->I will always have a soft spot in my heart for "School Hard" which is my first episode. That was an intense experience, and it was such a good one because I felt from the very first scene that it was working. That the character fit well, and it gave me a lot of room to maneuver—I was having a lot of fun exploring Spike. There is a saying in theatre that it's called a play for a reason. The audience isn't going to pay the actor to just walk; they are paying to watch an actor play. You’ve got to have fun, or it’s worth nothing. Even if you’re doing a really sad play, having fun is the center of it, and I was having a blast.

* This marks the FirstAppearance of Spike, who will later become a major character in the series as well as in ''Series/{{Angel}}''.
* Spike calls Angel his sire, an intentional misdirection to make fans believe that Angel was the vampire who had sired him. In interviews, Creator/JossWhedon has stated that 'sire' can mean any vampire ancestor. That would mean Spike could call Angelus, Drusilla, The Master and even Darla as a sire. Drusilla was Spike's actual sire.
* This episode establishes that Principal Snyder and the police are aware of the supernatural happenings in Sunnydale. This foreshadows the events with Mayor Wilkins in season 3.
* At the end of the episode, Spike complains about a 'Slayer with family and friends'. Buffy's rejection of the typical lone wolf style of slaying is a theme that often comes up whenever her competence is questioned.
* This episode reveals Buffy's mother's name is Joyce.
* Spike tells Buffy that the last Slayer he killed had begged for her life. The Slayer was Nikki Wood.
* Spike later develops a respect and a friendship with Joyce after his initial attack on her and is affected by her death in season 5.
* This episode marks the first vampire death by sunlight.

* Show creators have stated in interviews that they decided to have Spike kill off the Anointed One because the actor who played him had grown significantly over the summer break, meaning his characterization as an immortal vampire wouldn't be believable.
