Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2/E09 What's My Line? Part 1/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Genius Bonus: Buffy snarking that being dead is not too dissimlar from her life as it is: "my hair and fingernails continue to grow." This is a reference to the fact that, after death, hair and fingernails appear to grow just a little bit longer. This was often considered evidence for vampires back in the day. However, the appearance is actually due to the contraction of the surrounding skin.
    • The character "Dalton" may be a nod to the chemistry scientist John Dalton (1766-1844), who introduced the hypothesis of "atomism." While the vampire Dalton wears a beard, unlike the human scientist, their glasses, hair, and clothing are virtually identical.
  • Rewatch Bonus: Cordelia's career aptitude test said she should either be a personal shopper or a motivational speaker. The motivational speaker part was quite prophetic as she would go on to keep Angel motivated like no one else could.
