"Teacher's Pet" (1.4)

-Dag, yo. I forgot how cool that science teacher was. "Was" being the operative word. RIP Dr. Gregory.

-Miss French! And so begins Xander's sad and sordid love life.

-If this episode were written today, would Miss French be a cougar instead of a praying mantis?

-Look quick, or you'll miss them! The Sunnydale Police. Oh, wait. Yeah. They're no help at all.

-I love the random addition of Forkhand McGee. That'll do, plot device. That'll do.

-Aw! Buffy's wearing Angel's jacket. And so begins Buffy's sad and sordid love life.

-For a show with such a good memory, it's odd that those eggs at the end never resurfaced, not even in passing.

Edited to add this fun fact: The real Miss French (the older woman) is played by Jean Speegle Howard, aka Ron Howard's mom. But wait, there's more! Ron Howard's father, Rance Howard, played Marcus Rosco in an episode of Angel ("Carpe Noctem" for those keeping score at home). Random trivia rocks. Thanks, Donna!
