Line 2:
== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ==
* Angel goes vamp when he kisses Buffy in season one because it was an event that approached perfect happiness, which would eject his human soul and turn him back into Angelus. Sex in season two brought it to completion.
* I always wondered why Sweet was able to break the contract associated with his talisman (that whoever summons him has to become his Queen), given the prevalance of [[Magic
* In the [[Musical Episode]], ''Once More, With Feeling!'', Sarah Michelle Gellar's voice is obviously auto-tuned. Now while we could just say that this is because [[Real Life Writes the Plot|Sarah was not a confident singer and this was to compensate for that]], that would be lazy and not fun. I instead maintain that Buffy ''actually'' sang that way, because her singing, like everything she was doing in life since her resurrection, was simply her "going through the motions", faking it, rather than doing it with any feeling.
** Buffy's Slayer powers give her enhanced senses and strength. What's to say that they couldn't enhance her singing ability? While they couldn't make her a better singer on their own, they can help the mediocre vocals she does produce (a la autotune).
Line 23:
** If it makes you feel any better, he's only a serial killer, not a rapist.
* {{spoiler|Tara}}'s body was in a very similar position to {{spoiler|Joyce's after the aneurysm}}. Not only did [[The Woobie|Dawn]] have to [[Break the Cutie|deal with]] the horror of finding {{spoiler|Tara}} dead, ''it most likely,'' intensely, ''brought back memories of {{spoiler|her mother}} beginning to die hardly a year earlier''. ''Then'' you realize how many loved ones, ''human'' loved ones, died (or in one case were found dead) literally in front of Dawn, once as a direct result of her existence, and you have to wonder exactly how deep her angst over being left alone really went.
* Vampires. Not so much Fridge Horror as they are repeatedly and intimately explored, with the exception of one little aspect that the series seems to completely ignore: they are ''fucking everywhere''. Even in places with dedicated, highly effective vampire hunters, vampires are always a problem. Beings that are far stronger and faster than any human, that feed on an almost nightly basis or whenever it would be fun, and that are easily and swiftly capable of creating entire armies of their kind are probably the single most common demon on the planet. Considering that in Season 4 of ''[[
** Actually, it's stated that the reason all those vampires/demons/boogeymen/telemarketers are hanging out in Sunnydale is because they're attracted to the evil of the Hellmouth. And it's not stated, but the Los Angeles situation is likely similarly explained by the city being built around Wolfram and Hart, which is stated to be one of the last surviving [[Eldritch Abomination|Great Old One deities that lived before humans.]]
* Also in Buffy, when we first meet Whistler, Angel's good demon guide, we find out that Angel has been watching Buffy since she was at her old high school in Los Angeles, an unrevealed amount of time after he lost his soul. Later in a heartfelt moment, he confesses that he loved her from the first moment he saw her, which he explains was back in Los Angeles right before she obtained her powers. Buffy is very moved by this. The [[Squick]] comes in when you realize that Angel, who has been an grown adult for 200 years, "falls for" a fourteen-year old girl and then deflowers her a full year before she can give legal consent.
