[QUOTE="Shadeus, post: 100788, member: 1795"] I loved this last episode. I really saw the hospital world as Buffy looking at herself from a distance (the doctor, Joyce, her father being the vehicle she used). I actually felt the most significant thing was when Buffy let the demon loose to kill her tied up friends and she faltered for a moment....could she really kill her friends? Then Joyce came over and talked to her. I can't recall exactly what she said, but it really was powerful to me (and to Buffy). She tried to convince her that she had a well of strength in her heart and it wasn't like Buffy to just roll over and die. Of course Joyce was trying to convince her to stay in the dreamworld, but it really was the kick in the ass she needed in the vampire world to get her life on track. I don't expect this to make her happy, but I expect Buffy to be more assertive as she has been before her mother died. She's kind of been in a funk since then (and rightfully so). Now the illusion of Joyce told her that she's stronger than that and hopefully it will be what she needs to turn her life around. [/QUOTE]
