Am watching Angel from the begining for the first time in years (I love this show, never saw the end, got to thinking about it recently and realised there were so many episodes I wanted to see again), and I'm up to I Will Remember You, episode 8 of season 1 (am preparing for the heartbreak accompanied by Close Your Eyes (The Buffy Angel Love Theme) that is to come in the next half hour. Oh god, this episode) .

So, Buffy's come to see Angel, and they're standing in the office talking. Demon suddenly bursts through the window, all arrghargh and waving a sword around. They fight it off, and it jumps back out the window.
Then:

BUFFY: Friend of yours?
ANGEL: Never saw it before.
BUFFY: That was rude. We should go kill it.
ANGEL: I'm free.

And as they exit the frame, we hear Buffy say, "Got somewhere I can change?" In this scene, she was wearing a smart black outfit, admittedly not good for the killing of the demons. But then we cut to them walking through the sewers, and Buffy's wearing a PRETTY WHITE JUMPER.

Who wears white to a) trek through sewers, and b) kill demons. White stains. Very easily. And that fabric looks hard to wash. And as if normal blood weren't hard enough to get out, this demon has bright green blood. Either Buffy doesn't do her own laundry or someone in wardrobe let symbolism overtake practicality, and neither of these things sit well. (There is another possibility, that she is happy to sacrifice that jumper. But I'm not paying that too much mind. It's a very nice jumper.)

Oh god the bit just happened with Angel and the blood and nnneeeee, this episode! Oh god, this episode! *whimper*
