The trivia in this episode is staggering and beyond my capacity to include in a first run. Also, I didn't pay attention during "Death of a Salesman" and am sure I missed a lot of hints there, too, like when Buffy tells Riley off. Wolf Deunan 00:04, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Dawn isn't in this episode (and shouldn't be in the cast list) and I'm also don't think Oz is in it (though I'm less sure). All the others are. Evercat 23:49, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Oops, you are right about Dawn, that was a cut-and-paste error on my part. Oz is in Willow's dream: He and Xander meet her in the UC hall. Wolf Deunan 10:57, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cheese Man

The Cheese Man seems to be a reference to the children's song/game The Farmer in the Dell, which culminates in the line "The Cheese Stands Alone". Now, considering the episode's theme of eliminating Buffy's friends, and The First Slayer's drive being that Buffy needs to be alone, it seems to me that Buffy IS the cheese.

BUFFY IS THE CHEESE.

Can somebody fix the link to David Wells, who played the cheese man, in the table in the upper right? The link points to the baseball player.

Done. The link is now David Wells (actor). If anyone wants to create a stub, I recommended getting some basic info from IMDb's "David Wells (I)" page and adding a disambiguation line to David Wells, along the lines of "For the character actor, see David Wells (actor)." ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tidying up

"It is probably impossible to do the writing justice without a scene-by-scene, line-by-line analysis"... What the hell? Do you pay no attention to NPOV rules? Anyway, currently working on reorganizing the article (particularly, splitting the plot synopsis into the characters' different dreams because it seems more... readable this way), and touching some stuff here and there. Any comments, come hither. And God, please, watch with the "OMG RESTLESS BUFFY DREAMIN IS T3H GOOD"; I personally love the episode to bits but some of this is just inappropriate.

[edit] Dawn at the ice cream truck

I've reverted the statement about Dawn in the ice cream truck crowd for two reasons:

  1. We have no official source for this information.
  2. I went over that scene a while back very carefully, and while I agree that might be Dawn's hair (ergo Dawn herself), it's hardly unique to Michelle Trachtenberg. (Believe me, I wanted that to be another clever bit of foreshadowing!)

Unless we get a (non-fansite) source, it's just speculation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:38, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

According to most reputable outlets, none of the primary actors ever did uncredited cameos; i.e., Michelle Trachtenberg isn't in any episodes until season 5, James Marsters isn't in that "Bargaining" airport scene, and Seth Green doesn't appear in the background of any UCSD classroom shots (except for episodes that Oz is actually in).

[edit] Sapphic poem link

The link to the translation of the Sapphic poem written on Tara's back redirects now, and I'm not sure what, on the page it redirects to, is the correct one. If anyone's got another source for that, please update!--Hiraeth 05:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Buffy422.jpg

Image:Buffy422.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
