Doppelgangland
Simply a great episode with so much to like about it. Alyson Hannigan's performance as various Willows; "Old Reliable" and the banana announcement; Anya's peevishness at being human; Willow's friends mourning her ("She was truly the finest of all of … Continue reading
Consequences
This was a great episode. A perfect mix of everything that BtVS does so brilliantly. I could try to write more but here's some screencaps instead. Rewind [This was a very lazy review.]
Bad Girls
S3 is maintaining its disappointing run. I genuinely thought it was one of my favourite seasons but very little has been thrilling me. It simply hasn't been appointment TV which goes a long way to explaining the long gap between … Continue reading
The Zeppo
I tend not to read my old reviews before writing a new one but I did in this case and, boy, did I not like "The Zeppo". However, while Xander's character demolition and Cordelia's ugly behaviour are still bothersome, the … Continue reading
Helpless

Amends
Despite Robia LaMorte's name in the credits and despite the fact I have actually seen this before, I still managed a gasp when Jenny appeared from behind Giles and that's probably the highlight for me. I have major problems with … Continue reading
The Wish
I am surprised to realise that with the notable exception of "Lovers Walk" and this, that season 3 has been a drag. The thought of watching "Amends" next is hardly cheering me up either. I don't remember it being like … Continue reading
Lovers Walk
A cracking episode that brings to a head a storyline I really wasn't enjoying. Poor Cordelia (and poor Oz too but it seems less awful for him since I know what happens...), she did give up so much for Xander … Continue reading
Relevations
Even when the actor is English, English characters always sound fake in the Buffyverse; consequently anybody from or purporting to be from the Watchers' Council automatically puts my back up. I like that the writers try to get English colloquial … Continue reading
