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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →
