Trivia
Whistler was originally going to be Angel's sidekick for the Angel (1999) spin-off, however, Max Perlich could not commit.

Goofs
The flashback to Angel's introduction to Darla in Galway, Ireland establishes that it's 1753. Cannon establishes that Angel is 241 years older than Buffy in 1997. Either he hadn't been born or, even if vampires count their age from the year they're "made", the numbers simply don't add up.

Quotes
Spike: [referring to Acathla's tomb] It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.

Perfect lead-in to a Dynamite Finale

Showing the back story of Angel reminds us of who he is and what's at stake... pun intended. Great suspense building and character stuff and anticipation for the finale is building!
