Line 8: * [[All According to Plan]]: Buffy [[Open Says Me\|kicks in the door]]. Cut to Molloch saying, "Here they come." * [[Anachronism Stew]] {{quote\| '''Jenny:''' You think the realm of the mystical is limited to ancient texts and relics? That bad old science made the magic go away? The divine exists in cyberspace same as out here.~~<br />~~ '''Giles:''' Are you a witch?~~<br />~~ '''Jenny:''' Mm. I don't have that kinda power. 'Techno-pagan' is the term. }} * [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Averted. Giles -- worried about how he's going to convince Jenny that there are such things as demons, let alone one on the internet -- finds out she already knows all about the supernatural. * [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Who ''didn't'' think Jenny Calender was meant to be Giles' future [[Love Interest]] the moment you see them engaging in [[Snark -to -Snark Combat]]? * [[Blank Book]]: Moloch's prison-book after he escapes. * [[Conspicuous Trenchcoat]]: When Giles suggests Buffy tail Dave, she sarcastically replies, "What, in dark glasses and a trenchcoat?" [[Gilligan Cut]] to Buffy following Dave in a [[So Much for Stealth\|trendy short trenchcoat and pink-framed sunglasses]]. Line 20: * [[Distant Prologue]]: Cortona, Italy, 1418 * [[Digitized Hacker]] {{quote\| '''Xander:''' "He's in a computer! What can he [Moloch] do?"~~<br />~~ '''Buffy:''' "You mean besides convince a perfectly nice kid to try and kill me? I don't know. How 'bout [[Everything Is Online\|mess up all the medical equipment in the world]]?"<br /> '''Giles:''' "Randomize traffic signals."<br /> Line 27: '''Buffy:''' "[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|I think I pretty much capped it with that nuclear missile thing]]."<br /> '''Giles:''' "Right, yours was best." }} * [[Electrified Bathtub]]: Buffy is set up to shut off the water in a locker room shower just as the puddle reaches a live wire. She sees the trap and jumps out just in time, with only [[Messy Hair\|static-frazzled hair]] to show for it -- much to her annoyance. * [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: When Xander and Buffy tell Willow not to be too upset that her dream guy turned out to be a demon because Xander's crush [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer ~~(TV)~~/Recap/S1/E04 ~~E4 Teachers~~Teacher's Pet\|turned out to be a giant praying mantis]] and Buffy is in love with Angel, the three conclude that they have no chance of having a normal relationship, ever, and then start laughing...[[Subverted Trope\|and then descend into awkward silence when they realize the significance of this conclusion.]] Cue credits. * [[Haunted Technology]] * [[Horny Devil]]: Moloch is a male example. While clearly not as attractive as the typical incubus, he uses similar methods, using deceit and illusion to draw victims of both genders close so he can kill them. * [[I ~~Comma~~, Noun]] * [[In a Single Bound]]: Buffy jumps the chain-link fence while [[Butt Monkey\|Xander falls off it]] trying to climb over. * [[It's a Small Net After All]]: Buffy consults a computer geek who informs her that anytime you have an e-mail address to start from, "you can pull up someone's profile based on their user name." Although this may have been slightly more likely to be true in 1997 than it is today. ** And actually more likely now, thanks to all the facebooks and stuff. Using e-mail instead of username also appears to be gaining on popularity (with or without another screen name). The Internet changes fast. * [[It Won't Turn Off]]: Willow's computer monitor. * [[Killer Robot]]: When Moloch becomes confined to his robot body, he is not pleased. * [[Kubrick Stare]]: Fritz * [[Last -Second Word Swap]]: "You're a computer geek...genius." * [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]] {{quote\| '''Buffy:''' He's gone binary on us.~~<br />~~ '''Xander:''' Okay, for those of us in our studio audience, who are me -- you guys are saying that Moloch is in this computer? }} * [[Literary Allusion Title]]: To ''[[I, Robot (~~Literature~~literature)\|I, Robot]]'' on the one hand and to ''[[Tarzan]]'' on the other. * [[Make It Look Like an Accident\|Make It Look Like A Suicide]]: When Dave won't go through with Buffy's murder, Moloch prints out a [[Goodbye, Cruel World\|suicide note]] and has Fritz kill him. Buffy finds him hanging from the roof of the computer lab with the note attached to his chest. * [[Mailer Daemon]] * [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Moloch was a Babylonian god whose worshippers are believed to have sacrificed children; whether or not the villain in this episode was supposed to be ''the'' Moloch is not stated. * [[More Than Mind Control]] * [[Mother Nature, Father Science]]: inverted with Giles and Miss Calendar, if books count as "nature." * [[Neck Snap]]: Moloch's ''modus operandi'' * [[New Media Are Evil]] * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] * [[Remote Body]] * [[Rewriting Reality]]: Jenny types in the evocation that Giles is reading aloud. * [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: in a book, in this case. * [[Self -Harm]] / [[Madness Mantra]]: Fritz carves an "M" in his arm while saying, "I'm jacked in. I'm jacked in. I'm jacked in." * [[Sinister Surveillance]] * [[Space Whale Aesop]] Line 58 ⟶ 60: * [[Spot of Tea]]: Giles' cure-all for recovering from near-electrocution. * [[Spider Sense]]: Lampshaded {{quote\| '''Buffy''': I can just tell something's wrong - my spider sense is tingling.~~<br />~~ '''Giles''': Your spider sense?~~<br />~~ '''Buffy''': Pop culture reference... sorry. }} * [[Skyward Scream]]: Moloch when he's originally bound into the book. * [[There Was a Door]]: Robo-Moloch * [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Both Xander and Willow get physical in this episode; Xander even lampshades it. {{quote\| '''Xander:''' Hey! I got to hit someone!}} * [[Technology Marches On]]: Oh yeah. In particular, the episode comes from the days when everyone was completely freaked out that every person in an online chat room was some kind of horrible pervert. Also, exchanges like this: {{quote\| '''Willow:''' I met him online.~~<br />~~ '''Buffy:''' On line for what? (beat) Oh. }} * [[You Watch Too Much X]]: When Giles suggests they upload a [[Computer Virus]] {{reflist}} [[Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap]]▼ ~~[[Category:Buffy The Vampire Slayer S 1 E 8 I Robot You Jane]]~~ [[Category:Recap]] ▲[[Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer ~~(TV)~~/Recap]] [[Category:{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
