I remember the first time I saw that episode and said to myself "...the hell? Since when has garlic ever been mentioned as a Whedonverse vampire repellent, and why is Buffy acting like a frightened, frail widdle thing who thinks Spike's going to crash through her window and maul her to death, and although Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear the Reaper' would be a PERFECT kick-ass song for this scene...the scene itself is really stupid."
