Trivia:
Deep Down -> Angel says, "I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years" referring to when Buffy sent him to hell in ^~buffy_2~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Becoming: Part 2 (1998)~^. Deep Down -> When Fred calls Lorne in Las Vegas, Lorne says, "Take care of yourself and ah, and make sure fluffy is getting enough love." Fluffy refers to a dog that Fred does not have. Lorne's meaning, which Fred does not understand, is that he is in distress and needs to be rescued. This is explained in ^~angel_4~^~Angel: The House Always Wins (2002)~^. Ground State -> When Angel hands Gunn and Fred a drawing of the artifact that they are going after, Fred is surprised by how good the drawing is and of the later picture of Cordy. During ^~p_buffy~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)~^, Angelus would leave drawings behind to scare the Scooby gang - several of Buffy, one of Jenny Calendar and in his own series, he drew Darla. Ground State -> `~4325~` says she had "5 minutes of training" from stunt coordinator Mike Massa right before filming the fight scene with Angel. The House Always Wins -> `~19841~` had to dress as a Lornette for the scene in which she helps Lorne escape; `~19840~` says Acker kept joking, "Andy, I have to overact and act bad - can you give me any tips?" The House Always Wins -> This episode was filmed on location in Las Vegas. "We shot from six at night to six in the morning for five nights," recalls `~19661~`. "It was like a movie shoot, we were real stars." The House Always Wins -> `~19840~` said this episode was his "favorite-favorite-favorite!" because the cast and crew got to go on location to Las Vegas. He said, "I've always wanted to have like a Vegas show, so it's like a real Vegas show...except that all the people sitting in the audience were getting paid to be there." The House Always Wins -> Ironically one of the major cast members who doesn't go to Las Vegas (the other being `~13978~`) is `~17445~` who is actually from there. Slouching Toward Bethlehem -> Cordelia sings @#"The Greatest Love of All"#@ by `~Whitney Houston~`, a song she chose to sing for the talent show in ^~buffy_1~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Puppet Show (1997)~^. Her performance this time around is equally terrible. Supersymmetry -> The orange graphic novel that is shown on the comic book store rack is @##Hellboy##@, who is a well-meaning half-demon who is a paranormal investigator, like Angel. @##Hellboy##@ is published by Dark Horse Comics, who also publishes the ^~p_buffy~^~"Buffy"~^ and ^~p_angel~^~"Angel"~^ comics. Spin the Bottle -> `~13978~` and `~19635~` began getting the giggles as the program progressed. It got to the point that when Angel runs back into the Hyperion Hotel to report that there are hundreds of demons outside (he means the cars on the freeway), the two could not look at each other without dissolving into laughter. Take after take was wasting the time of the crew and other actors. They decided they would simply, then, not look at each other. But between 32 and 33 minutes into the program, they had quick glances, and the viewer can watch them trying to hold in the laughter. Spin the Bottle -> When the spell is cast the first thing Cordelia says when she sees Angel is "Hello salty goodness!" Which is also the first thing she said the first time she ever saw him in ^~buffy_1~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (1997)~^. Spin the Bottle -> In television business jargon, an episode shot entirely on already-existing sets with a minimum of expensive extras like guest stars or extensive special effects (to keep the budget down) is called a "bottle show" or "bottle episode." The title of this episode, in addition to being a reference to its subject matter, is also a nod to the fact that the episode was deliberately conceived as a "bottle episode" to cut some of the price tag of season four. Spin the Bottle -> It was `~19841~`'s idea that Wesley should duct-tape Lorne to the pouffe, or hassock, in the middle of the room. `~1140~` knew that he wanted Lorne to be in the middle of things, and Lorne had to be able to talk and interact, but he should not be able to move around or influence people except by reasoning with them. Whedon says in the Commentary that he had been baffled what to do with Lorne, until Acker had her suggestion. Spin the Bottle -> `~13978~` says in the DVD Commentary how much he had enjoyed doing this episode: "I remember feeling a genuine, profound sadness that the [memory-reducing] spell was over. I think this week of just frivolity and all us having the fun; going back... and it really was just like 'Awww.' ...It was magic." Spin the Bottle -> Between the shooting of ^~angel_4~^~Angel: Supersymmetry (2002)~^ and ^~angel_4~^~"Spin the Bottle,"~^ `~17445~` had asked whether she could get a hair cut. `~1140~` explained that ^~angel_4~^~'Spin the Bottle'~^ would start just moments after ^~angel_4~^~'Supersymmetry'~^ ended, so she should please not do so. But `~19635~` didn't get the message, and he did go get a trim. Spin the Bottle -> This episode is reminiscent of `~1140~`'s future project @%The Cabin in the Woods (2011)%@, Fred recalling stories of young people kidnapped by the government, trapped in a specific location and experimented on. The AI crew even resemble the stereotypes required (Wesley the scholar, Gunn the athlete, etc.). `~19841~` was also in the film. Spin the Bottle -> SPOILER:`~1140~` notes that while writing this episode, he already knew that Connor and Cordelia were going to have sex, but the story had to move faster than he had originally planned because `~17445~` became pregnant.:SPOILER Spin the Bottle -> SPOILER:The frame narrative established by Lorne in the night club was done to highlight the postmodern aspects of the episode, explains `~1140~`. The artificiality of the night club, and Lorne's breaking of the fourth wall when he comments on the commercials that played during the act break, provides a foreground for the alternate reality caused by the spell.:SPOILER Apocalypse, Nowish -> In the final fight scene, which took two full days to film, `~17445~` had to be careful doing her stunts, as she was pregnant. Apocalypse, Nowish -> SPOILER:Cordelia is watching an old horror film about 'Pod People' (a reference to @#Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)#@ with humans controlled by an alien entity). Unbeknownst to her she essentially is one herself (and had been before in ^~buffy_2~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Bad Eggs (1998)~^).:SPOILER Habeas Corpses -> SPOILER:It is never established exactly why the Wolfram & Hart employees are re-animated as zombies. It is suggested that the Beast (or, by extension, anyone associated with it) was responsible, or alternatively that it is a mystical failsafe which is automatically activated at Wolfram & Hart during emergencies. However, in ^~angel_4~^~Angel: Home (2003)~^ it is revealed that Lilah Morgan remains in the employ of Wolfram & Hart, even after her death. Lilah describes this as a "standard immortality clause", suggesting that all employees have such a contract.:SPOILER Long Day's Journey -> The character that is played by `~4325~` is named Gwen Raiden, and she so happens to have powers of electricity. Just like the !~mk_1~!~Mortal Combat~! character Raiden, who also has powers of electricity. Soulless -> After `~6166~` told writer/director and close friend `~19666~` about his "fervent desire to be directing episodic television," he shadowed producers `~7619~` and `~10472~` for several weeks to get a feel for the series before he was given this episode to direct. "Television sort of mandates that you keep moving," Astin says, "but you don't want to stop. Angelus [has] so many layers and so many different shades and qualities, you want to keep exploring them and mining them and pulling them out. It's such a rich, meaty character for him to do. He's good at evil. It's a little creepy." Calvary -> SPOILER:An extra scene where Angelus kills Lilah was filmed, in order to avoid word leaking out that Cordelia was the season's main villain.:SPOILER Salvage -> SPOILER:`~7195~`, who plays one of Angelus's lackie/groupie vampires, would later go on to star with `~19635~` again in @##Bones (2005)##@.:SPOILER Orpheus -> `~16925~` had to shoot all her scenes in two days because she wasn't only working on the final season of ^~p_buffy~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)~^ at the same time, but also on @%American Wedding (2003)%@ Orpheus -> `~16925~` was excited to work with her fiancé, `~13978~`, whom she met while the two were on ^~p_buffy~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)~^. Denisof was also excited. "I feel like it's a play day. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm at work," he said. "My girl is here... really all I want to do is run over and give her a hug." Orpheus -> `~19635~` named this as one of his favourite episodes. Orpheus -> The fight scene between Angel and Angelus, which took two days to film, was something that `~19847~` had "waited to do for four years." It was made possible by a split screen and a camera lock-off, explains `~3975~`. "We played back to match shot for shot. He was hitting space. Orpheus -> Willow's appearance is a reaction to a phone call she received in ^~buffy_7~^~Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Lies My Parents Told Me (2003)~^ - which aired six days behind, on March 25, breaking continuity; however, the original air date of that episode would have been March 18, one day before this one, but was postponed due to the start of the Iraq War Inside Out -> `~19647~` was called back to reprise her role as Darla, in her first and only scene with `~19854~`, who plays her character's son. "I loved the dynamic between the two of them," Benz says. "Darla really is the mother who gave up everything for her son and he doesn't appreciate it." Inside Out -> Darla says she was sent by "the Powers" to send Connor a message. While there is no evidence that the vision is telling the truth (and some fans theorised that this could in fact have been The First Evil), `~18097~`, on the DVD commentary track, confirms that she was sent by the Powers That Be. The Magic Bullet -> During the DVD commentary, `~19847~` explained that Jasmine telling Ted that Oswald acted alone was a sort of punishment for the character. He was of the opinion that one of the most devastating things for a conspiracy-theorist is to find out there is no conspiracy. Peace Out -> SPOILER:According to `~10472~`, they were originally going to have Cordelia wake up and kill Jasmine. However, `~17445~` had just given birth in real life, so her doctors had not yet released her to do any physically. The ending was then changed to Connor killing Jasmine.:SPOILER
