1 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At the end of the episode we see Marcie in a government run school full of invisible students including her being taught to be assassins. One must wonder if they're perhaps [[Series/{{Firefly}} also working on psychic assassins.]] |
2 | * HarsherInHindsight: The episode ends with Marcie being taken away by the government to be trained as an assassin. Imagine if this were season four and the Initiative got hold of her... |
3 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
4 | ** Willow presents Buffy with a list of missing students, and Buffy remarks that the most recent student's only activity was band -- and that she played the flute. Willow's reaction was intended as confused, but anybody who's seen ''Film/AmericanPie'' can't help but think that her "...So?" looks quite shameful and guilty. |
5 | ** The final scene of the episode shows Marcie being recruited by the FBI for a special unit using people with special powers such as invisibility as assassins and other secret agents. Fast forward a few years, and Clea [=DuVall=] is on ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' as an FBI agent, recruiting psychic Matt Parkman to help catch superpowered multiple murderer Sylar. |
6 | ** Willow wears a ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' T-shirt. Creator/SarahMichelleGellar would later play Daphne in the live-action films. |
7 | ** Buffy says that the invisible girl seems too petty for a god. The BigBad of Season 5 will be Glory, a hellgod who acts like a cosmic version of a vain, spoiled, self-absorbed, ditzy AlphaBitch. |
8 | * JerkassWoobie: Marcie may be a psychotic who engages in attempted murder and mutilation, but it's hard to not feel sorry for her, and how crazy she went from the isolation. A shame she didn't see a similar quality in Cordelia, who reveals herself to be this when she vents about how frustrating and lonely it feels to be "the popular girl." |
9 | * {{Padding}}: The conversation between Buffy and Giles where he suggests she learn to listen to people wasn’t in the original script and was added during post-production. |
10 | * TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Marcie Ross is taken by F.B.I agents to be trained in assassination and espionage. She never appeared again. Then again, it's debatable whether she "[[{{Pun}} appeared]]" at all. |
11 | * UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Those who have endured vicious bullying and abuse may actually ''envy'' Marcie's invisibility condition (both before and after she literally became invisible). |
