YMMV / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E11 "Out of Mind, Out of Sight"

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: 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 also working on psychic assassins.
• Harsher in Hindsight: 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...
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • 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 American Pie can't help but think that her "...So?" looks quite shameful and guilty.
  • 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 Heroes as an FBI agent, recruiting psychic Matt Parkman to help catch superpowered multiple murderer Sylar.
  • Willow wears a Scooby-Doo T-shirt. Sarah Michelle Gellar would later play Daphne in the live-action films.
  • Buffy says that the invisible girl seems too petty for a god. The Big Bad of Season 5 will be Glory, a hellgod who acts like a cosmic version of a vain, spoiled, self-absorbed, ditzy Alpha Bitch.
• Jerkass Woobie: 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."
• 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.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: 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 "appeared" at all.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Those who have endured vicious bullying and abuse may actually envy Marcie's invisibility condition (both before and after she literally became invisible).
