[QUOTE="Flinx, post: 183038, member: 3967"] Tonight's episode actually isn't the first time someone's pulled a gun on the slayer. The first time that I can remember was in the first season when Darla was shooting at her with a gun in each hand (before being staked by Angel). Another time an assassin hired by Spike came to Sunnydale High as a policewoman and took some pot shots at Buffy and actually ended up grazing Oz. I've always gotten the feeling that Joss Whedon doesn't like guns. I have no proof of this, just a feeling I have. I remember one episode (don't remember which) where Buffy picks up a gun, says something like "These things...never a good idea", tosses it aside and commences with the punching and kicking. As for tonight's episode, very intense. My theory last week was that something bad was going to happen to Tara because we saw black-eyed Willow in the previews and because after nearly three years she still wasn't in the opening credits (not counting tonight). Then, in the middle of the show, they had me worried that the rape scene was going to be the big trauma. But then at the end, we saw a spray of blood hit Willow, then her cradling Tara, and then the black eyes turning red. Good stuff. Intense, but good. [/QUOTE]
