* [[Art Shift]]: From here to the end, the show was filmed in 16:9 widescreen. Joss didn't want the show put on DVD in this fashion, so the only places to see widescreen Buffy are Netflix and DVD's released in Europe, where Joss' request for 4:3 format was ignored. (Similarly, ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', which debuted the same night as this episode, was filmed in widescreen but not broadcast that way until the third season. All episodes shown on Netflix are displayed in 16:9 format, as are episodes on DVD from the second season onward.)

Buffy feels overwhelmed by college life. Her confidence further erodes when she is beaten by the female leader of a vampire gang.

Tropes

Sunday: I must say, you've really got me now. I mean, it's a diabolical plan, throw yourself at my feet with a broken arm and no weapons of any kind. How'm I going to get out of this one?
Buffy: You got a nice set-up here, but you made one mistake.

Sunday: Yeah? What was that?

Buffy: Well, I'm not actually positive, but statistically speaking people usually make at least... (Sunday makes Buffy Talk to the Fist)

  • Alone in a Crowd: Buffy is overwhelmed by the size and confusion of college.
  • Art Shift: From here to the end, the show was filmed in 16:9 widescreen. Joss didn't want the show put on DVD in this fashion, so the only places to see widescreen Buffy are Netflix and DVD's released in Europe, where Joss' request for 4:3 format was ignored. (Similarly, Angel, which debuted the same night as this episode, was filmed in widescreen but not broadcast that way until the third season. All episodes shown on Netflix are displayed in 16:9 format, as are episodes on DVD from the second season onward.)
  • Berserk Button: Sunday goes too far when she steps on Buffy's Class Protector award.
  • Book Dumb!Buffy

Eddie: Of Human Bondage -- have you ever read it?
Buffy: Oh, I'm not really into porn... I mean I'm just... I'm trying to cut way back.

Xander: You up for a little reconnaissance?
Buffy: You mean where we all sculpt and paint and stuff?
Xander: No, that was the Renaissance.
Buffy: Oh. I've had a really long week.

  • California University: UC Sunnydale
  • The Cavalry Arrives Late: After blowing Buffy off earlier, a repentant Giles turns up with an armful of weapons to help...after the Scoobies have already defeated Sunday's gang.
  • Crash Into Hello: Buffy meets Riley Finn when she accidentally knocks a pile of heavy psychology textbooks onto his head. He takes it well.
  • Crossover: Buffy receives a phone call at her home, but hangs up when she doesn't hear anything. This episode aired the same night as the Angel series premiere, where it's revealed the call came from a despondent Angel.
  • Decoy Antagonist: Sunday -- credited as a special guest, and kicking Buffy's ass in their first fight, only to get dusted at the second one.
  • Dark Action Girl: Sunday is one of the few vampires that give Buffy a run for her money.
  • Description Cut

Willow: Is Buffy in danger?
Xander: She's in a holding pattern, we've got some time.
(Cut to Buffy getting beaten up by Sunday)

Dav: Does this sweater make me look fat?
Sunday: No, the fact that you're fat makes you look fat. That sweater just makes you look purple.

Buffy: God, I was worried that something had happened to you... (Eddie turns to reveal his Game Face) ...and of course it has, 'cause you're a vampire.

Laugh all you want, this time we play it my way. And the rules are just going to be a little bit... (skylight breaks under her)

Buffy: Is this guy ever gonna wake up?

I'm Professor Walsh. Those of you who fall under my good graces will come to know me as Maggie. Those of you who don't will come to know me by the name my TA's use and think I don't know about, 'The Evil Bitch Monster of Death.'

  • Metaphorgotten: Xander talks to Buffy about overcoming her fear, then stops when he realises he's quoting from The Phantom Menace and Scarface.
  • Mooks: Dav, Rookie, Tom and Jerry.
  • Not So Dire: Buffy prowling in the cemetery, asks, "Anything?" as if asking Willow if she's seen any vampires. Turns out she's asking about what college courses are available.
  • New Old Flame: Olivia for Giles.
  • Red Shirt: Eddie
  • Rousing Speech: Buffy is feeling down after losing her first fight to Sunday, but fortunately runs into her Xander-shaped friend.

Xander: Buffy, I've gone through some fairly dark times in my life, faced some scary things, among them the kitchen at 'The Fabulous Ladies Night Club.' Let me tell you something, when it's dark and I'm all alone and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think, 'What would Buffy do?' You're my hero. Ok, sometimes when it's dark and I'm all alone I think, 'What is Buffy wearing?'

Buffy: Can that be one of those things you never, ever, tell me about?

Willow: How can you be so calm?
Oz: Long, arduous hours of practice.

Xander: Prank? Oh, the room. Well some friends of Buffy's played a funny joke, and they took her stuff. And now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.
Willow: Oh! Those friends!

Willow: It's just, in high school, knowledge was pretty much frowned upon. You really had to work to learn anything. But here, the energy, the collective intelligence... It's like this force, this penetrating force, and I can just feel my mind opening up, you know, and letting this place just thrust into and- and spurt knowledge into... That sentence ended up in a different place than it started out in.

Sunday: What about breaking your arm? (grabs Buffy's other arm) How'd that feel?
Buffy: Let me answer that with a head butt. (She does and sends Sunday staggering.)

Buffy: Oh! That's my skirt! You're never going to fit in it with those hips! We have to kill them!

Sunday: I'm Sunday, I'll be killing you here in a minute or so.
Buffy: You know that threat gets more frightening every time I hear it.
Stoner Vamp: Uhh... are we gonna fight? Or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?
