Gone (David Fury) Oh dear, three duds in a row. I have very little to say about this episode that can be construed as positive. I don’t actively dislike it the way I detest “Dead Man’s Party” and this is … Continue reading →

Wrecked (Marti Noxon) “Wrecked” indeed. Willow goes off the rails and almost derails Buffy the Vampire Slayer along with her. I actually like the idea of Willow being in thrall to the power that magic gave her – her self-pitying words … Continue reading →
