Best Buffy Trivia
Sarah Michelle Gellar originally
auditioned for the part of Cordelia - and Charisma
Carpenter auditioned
for the role of Buffy. Wow, that would have been a
different show!
Xander appears
in every episode except one (Conversations with Dead
People, Ep 7 in Season
7). After Buffy and Willow,
Xander is the character who has appeared most.
The main villain in each Buffy season
is called the Big Bad. In order, they were The Master,
Angelus (and Spike), The Mayor, Adam, Glory, Evil Willow
and The First. The phrase "Big Bad" was first used
by Spike in Wild
at Heart (Ep 6 in Season
4).
Money was tight for Buffy Season
1 so
the same High School corridor was filmed in different
ways and from different angles.
Buffy creator Joss Whedon's favourite episode is Innocence
(Ep 14 in Season
2). That's the episode after Buffy
and Angel sleep together and Angel turns bad (for the
first time).
The term Buffster, was first used by Xander in Season
3 (see page 4). Xander
also coined the term Scooby Gang in
Season
2.
The opening line "In every generation, there is
a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires..."
becomes increasingly inaccurate as the series continues.
Kendra and Faith are introduced as Slayers in Season
2 and Season
3.
Buffy's favourite stake is called Mr Pointy and was
given to her by Kendra.
Harmony and Angel are the only characters to appear
in the first pilot episode of Buffy and in the
last episode of Angel (see
page 10).
The Mutant Enemy animated character/logo at the end
of each episode normally says "Grrr. Arrggh" but
the animation changes in six episodes. For example,
in the final episode Chosen (see page
8) it turns to the
camera and makes a face. At the end of Season
2, the
animation says "I need a hug".
