Trivia
Considering that Buffy literally takes on an Xenomorph from Alien -- and doesn't make any snappy pop-culture comments about that fact -- implies that this is a jokey non-canon tale. Or that Buffy takes place in the same universe as the Alien series.
Pop Culture References
- The Space-bug-zompire-thing is actually a Xenomorph (Alien) from the Alien franchise.
- The title is a parody of the tagline for the Alien movie poster, "In space no one can hear you scream."
- Buffy says, "We're gonna need a bigger can" (of bug spray) in reference to the famous line from the movie Jaws, "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
