snick_backupJust finished "Graduation," parts I and II. I'll have deeper thoughts anon, but for now:
I've seen reference before to the Faith/Buffy Slayer dream in graduation, in which Faith mentions Dawn. ("Little Miss Muffet.") And I knew that "7-3-0" was referred to "The Gift" (although I forget how the numbers worked out). But first time through, I didn't recognize the Robert Frost reference, Faith saying, "Miles to go." Which, yes, miles to go before death, which happens in "The Gift," etc. But what makes it even more interesting is that Buffy quotes the exact same line in "The Prom," two eps before:

Giles. We got it. Miles to go before
we sleep. But, especially if we're
going to vaporize or something
on graduation day? We should
be able to have a little prom-y fun.
One night of glory; not too much to ask.

I love that shared Slayer dream in "Graduation Day."
