    • Trivia
      It was during the filming of the basement fight scene that showrunners informed the crew that the series had been officially cancelled.
    • Goofs
      With Gunn, Lindsey and Spike are pinned down behind the couch, they realise the Wrath is in the basement, they kick the couch at the son. However, for a brief second the dwarf stand-in (with a cheap blond wig) is visible.
    • Quotes

      Lindsey McDonald: That's what I like to see. Angel of yore. Takes no prisoners. Suffers no fools. How about this? It's here. It's been here all along, underneath. You're just too damn stupid to see it.

      Angel: See what?

      Lindsey McDonald: The Apocalypse, man. You're soakin' in it.

      Spike: I've seen an Apocalypse or two in my time. I'd know if one was going on under my nose.

      Lindsey McDonald: Not "an" Apocalypse. "The" Apocalypse. What... you think a gong was gonna sound? Time to jump on your horses and fight the big fight? Starting pistol went off a long time ago, boys. Since you came to work here at Wolfram & Hart, you're playin' for the bad guys. Every day you sit behind your desk and you learn a little more how to accept the world the way it is. Well, here's the rub. Heroes don't do that. Heroes don't accept the world the way it is. They fight it.

      Angel: You're saying that everything we do here... it's a distraction to keep us busy from looking under the surface?

      Lindsey McDonald: Ding! We got a winner. Every day the world keeps slidin' towards entropy and degradation. And what do you do? You sit in your big chair and you sign your checks... just like the Senior Partners planned. The war's here, Angel, and you're already two soldiers down.
