Trivia / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E21 "Becoming, Part 1"

• California Doubling: How did Angel get from New York all the way to California in one cut? Easy: he walked between sets.
• Completely Different Title:
  • French: Acathla - partie 1 (Acathla - part 1)
  • German: Wendepunkte (Turning Points)
  • Brazilian Portuguese: Metamorfose - Primeira Parte (Metamorphosis - First Part)
• Deleted Scene: This line was cut for length:
  Whistler: "There are three kinds of people that no one understands: geniuses, madmen, and guys that mumble."
• The Other Darrin: Perennial mustachioed Richard Riehle guest-stars as Merrick, Buffy's first watcher. This role was portrayed by Donald Sutherland in the feature movie.
• Recycled Set:
  • The scene of young Buffy staking her first vamp takes place in a cemetery that is obviously the same as the one in Sunnydale (which was actually the studio's parking lot with fake headstones and memorials).
  • The exterior of Hemery High was filmed in Courthouse Square, a location famously used as Hill Valley town square in Back to the Future.
