Becoming Part II
This is awesome - just chock full of great stuff - Spike switches sides, Joyce finds out, Spike and Joyce sit in silence, Giles gets tortured, Giles gets tricked, Willow gets magical, Xander lets Willow down, there is a great … Continue reading
Becoming Part I
Why is Willow still teaching? I know nothing about the US education system but it doesn't seem particularly likely. This episode tells us all about Angel and that is as interesting as that sounds. Buffy falls for an old trick … Continue reading
Go Fish
Rather like the monsters in the boys' bodies, there is a great episode struggling to come out of this one. It tries to deal with male entitlement and victim blaming but as far as I am concerned it fails miserably … Continue reading

I Only Have Eyes For You
As I peruse Screencap Paradise (who are the best) I am reminded that sometimes Buffy's hair is rather horrible; there are unexplained occurrences that surely have nothing to do with poltergeists (snakes, wasps, etc); there is lot of emoting; Drusilla … Continue reading

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
This is fun though I am still discomforted by the women's behaviour under this spell while at the same time I love the performances of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robia LaMorte and Kristine Sutherland while they are possessed. I am such … Continue reading
Phases
The werewolf hunter wasn't exactly a nuanced villain but otherwise this was a fine episode. "He-he said he was going through all these changes. Then he went through all these...changes." Willow is getting more and more confident: when Giles asks … Continue reading
Innocence
What is bad about this episode? Erm, either the line "and wear something trashy...er" or the costuming that doesn't match the line (she's wearing a twin-set for heaven's sake) or the continual characterisation of Cordelia as slutty (or at least … Continue reading
Surprise
So, thank goodness things are coming to a head. I am not much of a romantic so I find it hard to watch (or maybe even care) about soppy Buffy and Angel (I'm clearly no Willow on that front). I … Continue reading
