Man, just ascend already

Graduation Day I and II (Joss Whedon) The yearbook thing and the graduation ceremony to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory (I mean, Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1) is all a mystery to us on this … Continue reading

I got all teared up when they played “We Are Family”.

The Prom (Marti Noxon) Sentimental or moving? Well, only one episode of BtVS made me cry and it wasn’t this or Seeing Red. Anya: “You know, you can laugh, but I have witnessed a millennium of treachery and oppression from … Continue reading

And, besides, I have a shot at being a bad ass Wiccan, and what better place to learn?

Choices (David Fury) The big question: is Willow worth “thousands of lives”? With Willow getting accepted to Oxford (“tea-bag central), MIT, Yale, Harvard, Mars University, etc, I think they rather overdid the Willow is bright thing. I’m assuming that Willow … Continue reading

Oh come on! What am I, Saint Buffy? He’s like three feet tall!

Earshot (Jane Espenson) A cracking episode with much to love except, nitpicking here, the misdirection with Jonathan using a hunting rifle to attempt suicide. “Infect? Infect?” “It was intense.” “Yeah, for a minute there I thought you’re gonna make an … Continue reading

Faith would totally do that. Faith was built to do that. She’s the do-that-girl.

Enemies (Doug Petrie) How I felt watching this A drama is in trouble when it uses the misinterpretation of an innocent incident when two characters are supposed to trust each other as a basis for the rest of the episode. … Continue reading

I’m a blood-sucking fiend! Look at my outfit!

Doppelgangland (Joss Whedon) The fiftieth episode of BtVS and it’s my number one so far. Andy said that he thought my summary of this would consist of a repeat of the script and that’s almost what this is. “For a … Continue reading

I don’t need to say “oh”

Consequences (Marti Noxon) This is a very dark episode in both theme and look. It has some emotional scenes in it with excellent acting particularly from Alyson Hannigan. Faith pretends she doesn’t care or does she believe this? “Anyway, how … Continue reading

The count of three isn’t a plan. It’s Sesame Street.

Bad Girls (Doug Petrie) The costume designers have gone mad again. In order to totally underline the contrast between Faith and Buffy, they book-end the episode with Buffy dressed like she is either going to church with her mother or … Continue reading

I’ve never been up with people before.

The Zeppo (Dan Vebber) My word, this is the second stinker of season three. Many fans rate this Xander centric episode quite highly but for me it is a demonstration of how badly wrong an episode can go if characters’ … Continue reading

If I was at full Slayer power, I’d be punning right about now.

Helpless (David Fury) This episode was rather annoying me at the beginning with Giles’s behaviour making him appear to be rather a hypocrite following his comments to Buffy in Revelations. I felt the time for Giles’s doubts as expressed to … Continue reading
