[QUOTE="myrdden, post: 891794, member: 549"] Plot Buffy gets a new toy and ummm....not a whole much else happens... Thoughts (with spoilers) With there being only...what...ONE episode left I sourt of expected a little more umph to this episode. It has some great dialogue (Andrew and Anya have a great moment together) but the episode lacks any sort of tension - which you would think would be in abundence at this stage. I'm not sure about the Scythe. It's history his revealed a bit (in a very difficult to believe way. I mean, how many hidden temples are around Sunnydale?) but I think it's not a bad plot device. Buffy and Faith have a nice chat and all but make up. Spike and Buffy have a moment, Buffy and Xander have a moment - it was good dialogue for the most part but really dragged the pace of the episode. Buffy wasn't annoying in this episode, so things are getting better. With that stated I must confess, the last 15 minutes of the show was a combination of exciting action AND CHEESY ENDINGS! The fight between Caleb and Buffy started off good but deteriorated quickly with the appearance of Angel. I'll leave it at that for those who haven't seen it to make up their own mind, but I thought their reunion was cheesy and lame. Caleb's ending was very anti-climactic too. Also the abduction of Dawn was handled very clumsy. Xander taking her at Buffy's request made sense, but Dawn's stunning of Xander while he was driving was way off character for her (or is it as some have suggested). Also how do you stun a person in the neck while they are driving and not cause loss of control of the vehicle travelling at highway speeds? Most of the writers must have moved over to Angel by the time this show hit the production schedule because that can only explain the quality of writing for this episode. Myrdden [/QUOTE]
