OT: Buffy: Expect Spoilers

[WizarDru]

I think most important here was the fact that she said "One down..." just before she teleported away.

One can't help but note that the first half of the season finale is entitled "....Two to go."


I understand it, but I really hope they find a way to save Jonathon. Of the three geeks, he was the only one who actually had a fricking conscience. Naive and unwilling to face the consequences of his actions, maybe, but not evil or ambilvelant like the other two.

What's going to be done with Spike, I don't know. I'm not really sure what to feel about Spike. On the one hand, I think he REALLY, REALLY wants to be something he can never truly be...but on the other hand, he's a complete fricking bastard.

I have no idea how this is going to work out. But I like that.

There's also the internet theory out there that Halfrek, who appears to be the same actress as the woman who spurned William before he was turned, may have had something to do with his transformation.

Well, they *did* recognize each other in that episode where Dawn wishes them all to be locked away in the Summers house. She does a double-take, and then, "William..?"

Musical

Dang. I can see, already, that the "I've got a theory" montage was cut short. And the dance scene mentioned wasn't there.... I wish I had seen the original.

I was very disappointed in Buffy when they took Dawn to Spike's. I was just about yelling at the screen. I thought what they proved last week was that Spike IS evil- he's ambiguously portrayed, sometimes, but he is William the Bloody. He will kill you if he gets the chance, if he doesn't toy with you first. I miss old Spike. Well, seeing them bring Dawn over to him (despite that I don't think Spike would hurt Dawn... not yet) just seems like Buffy missed the point of the whole lesson.

Love that floppy-skinned friendly demon. What's his name? "I was just gonna make some Country Time!"

I thought the Willow thing could have been better. Her hair and eyes were black, but she didn't look ominous or wrathful to me. She looked like a Pokemon. She didn't deliver her lines with the I-will-have-revenge tastiness I was looking forward to. She seemed lax, like she was going to the store for a quart of milk, and slightly upset about it.

Very good episode. Seeing the skin ripped off Warren like that was a great "ugh!" moment. I really didn't expect Warren to die.

One more random thought- Does Xander look more and more like a young Rudy Giuliani to anyone else?

My favorite line of the episode was was Zander finds out that Anya is now a demon again:

Zander: When did this happen?
Anya: When do you THINK?

Heh.. those crazy kids!

I thought the way AH delivered Willow's lines was very interesting.

When she was full of fury over Tara's wounding, that was one thing. It was full of fire and rage - just as when she summoned the entity to command him to return Tara to her.

Now that Tara's truly gone ... I dunno, it makes sense to me that she's in a place beyond that. At least before there was still a Tara to take care of, to nurse to health. Now, she has nothing but her agony and the dark magics she's consumed.

And much more like a sex-driveless Vamp Willow, IMO, instead of the wildly mad Glory-whacking juiced-up Willow.

Just caught it today. Great episode. Sooo glad Willow did in Warren before being stopped by Ms Goodytwoshoes Slayer. When are you guys watching it though? I've been watching it Saturdays on a local station. Is it on earlier in the week?

 

[Hand of Vecna]

here in the States we can see it on Tuesday nights at 8pm EST on UPN. Our Northern Neighbors generally have to wait 'till the following Saturday, though. Sorry.

 

[Cor Azer]

Most of Ontario gets it on Tuesday nights to my knowledge. PEI, in eastern Canada, actually gets the new Buffy's on Monday - a day earlier than most people.

And people wonder why I want to go back to PEI

I agree that it was disappointing. However, let us note something - They went out of their way some time ago to point out that Spike can hurt Buffy. Dawn, however, is still human, and thus protected by the chip in Spike's head. The worst Spike can do is lead someone nasty to Dawn. And somehow I think the assumption that he wouldn't do that seems sound.

Plus, where else could she go?
