I felt a bit silly for not recognizing Jonathan Woodward when he played the vampire in Buffy 7:7 “Conversations with Dead People”. He looked familiar but I thought it was only because he resembles young Bill Murray. Then in the commentary Jane Espenson, a frequent writer for Mutant Enemy shows, mentions that he was in Firefly (“The Message”). Both episodes begin with his character in a coffin, and end with his death by chest trauma. (He’s also in Angel, apparently as a member of W&H’s staff in the last season.)
66 (out of 144) episodes of Buffy have a scene at a dance club called The Bronze, and the producers took advantage of it to showcase local bands. In 7:8 “Sleeper” the musician of the week is Aimee Mann, who again looks like someone I’ve met, if only I could remember who . . . .
