The Dark Age

Poor Jenny, she thought she was the only one with a big secret. No wonder, she's having problems coping after the revelations about Rupert and a spot of being possessed by a murderous demon. Jenny is sweet teasing Giles but … Continue reading

Lie To Me

I had ever really thought much of this episode (as a whole) before but this time I was gripped. The scene when Angel tells Buffy about his relationship with Drusilla was well written and acted but was marred by the … Continue reading

Halloween

This is a fabulous standalone episode (edit: this is exactly what I said in 2006 though I didn't like Buffy as the damsel - oh well, I can be wrong). It doesn't really advance the overall story by much (except … Continue reading

Reptile Boy

I really hate the main storyline. I know that unpleasant frat boys and the torture and humiliation of others is a staple of horror but I don't like watching it. I do like the gang watching a Bollywood film; Cordelia's … Continue reading

Inca Mummy Girl

Oz! Well, I like Oz but I like Tara. But which is better? Oz or Tara? There's only one way to find out... Tara is the reason I love Buffy but that doesn't mean I can't like the character of … Continue reading

School Hard

Adam really perked up when that car crashed into the Sunnydale sign. And who can blame him? The next three seasons are going to be bleedin' great. I don't understand why Spike isn't one of the most famous vampires ever … Continue reading

Except for Giles and Jenny (for good reasons) and Angel's jealousy of Xander (for bad reasons) this was a mainly undistinguished and, of course, highly derivative episode of Buffy. Actually, I also like the bits with Cordelia and Angel - … Continue reading

When She Was Bad

How do you follow up a superb S1 finale and kick off the new season? The answer is not very well. This has classic dialogue (one of the best lines ever "It's entirely pointy!"), a literally sweet scene with Willow … Continue reading

Prophecy Girl

This episode is so good. As much as I do like the rest of S1, this really is a massive step up in quality. Everything has more meaning, more depth, more resonance and, overall, it is as rich as a … Continue reading

Out of Mind, Out of Sight

I swear there was more of Clea DuVall in this. She's the main reason I like this episode along with the brilliant Cordelia character development. It has a very X-Files ending which I didn't mind but I'm glad they stayed … Continue reading
