YMMV / Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E7 "Angel"

• Genius Bonus: The Three: The Books of Samuel describe King David's Warriors as being divided up into The Thirty and The Three. The fact that these vampires are warriors may indicate that they owe their origins to the King David's Warriors of the same name.
• Growing the Beard: Marti Noxon, who reportedly first thought the series was going to be a "failed TV show" after a "failed movie", had her original impression changed after watching this episode, particularly the scene Buffy offers her neck to Angel.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Buffy takes the risk of trusting Angel because he could have easily killed her while she was asleep. Fast forward to Season 2 Angelus, who visits Buffy's bedroom while she's asleep but declines to kill her because he wants to mess with her first.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: Darla asks Angel if he thought Buffy would see his face, his true face, and would give it a kiss. In other words, she highly doubted that Buffy would ever be able to accept Angel to the extent that she could kiss his demonic vampire-face, accepting and loving all of what he is. However, this snickering and doubtful comment of Darla's happens to come true in "What’s My Line Part 1". After the assassin attacks Buffy and Angel at the ice skate rink, Buffy kisses Angel while he's wearing his demonic face.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Buffy refers to the Three as "the Fang Gang". This became a Fan Nickname for Angel's crew on his show.
